Any long term reviews from people who have the Eibach Pro Kit?

I bought the pro kit and it is still sitting in the box and i am now wondering whether i should have gone with the Comptech springs instead. Any input? Also if i am wondering what people think of the pro kit after driving with them for a while now.

thanks

I'd like to know as well. A couple of questions...

1. What is the actual height lowred when compared to the advertised spec?

2. Did the springs settle/sag after driving the car for awhile? If so, how much did they sag?


Thanks,

less bodyroll for sure and the ride height is about right for me. used it for over a month already.

handling is better coz of less bodyroll, but if you drive harder, you can definitely feel the shocks are not keeping up. Just like any other spring kits, it's more for looks than performance. And they are not designed for factory shocks anywaz.

ride quality wise, it's pretty good for a spring kit. compared to the H&R on my rsx, i like the eibach a lot better.

if you are looking for a lowered stance while getting a bit better handling, I would recommend the eibach. if you are looking at serious performance, get a coilover setup or wait for aftermarket shocks to become avalible.

I think it changed when they stopped making red springs and started making black springs for some cars... I heard about it, but not sure because I didn't see anything official.

Had them on since April and have had no sag or problems with them. Ride is nice and tight compared to stock. I highly recommend them
