debating on which setup. anyone riding on Eibach Sport-System Plus?

so my right-front shock is leaking. no big surprise. i'm lowered on old Comptech springs and 18" wheels on the stock shocks.... it was inevitable. i want to lower the car another inch front and rear, hopefully without sacrificing ride quality. so now's the time to take care of both at once.

i'm considering two setups (I am getting Eibach sway bars no matter which kit, too much body roll for me now):

1. Eibach Sport-System Plus (includes sway bars, shocks, Sportline springs)
Sport-System Plus Kit $858
Pro Alignment Kit F $133
Pro Alignment Kit R $122
Total $1,113

2. Tein SS coilovers, Eibach sways
Tein SS coilovers $935
Pro Alignment Kit F $133
Pro Alignment Kit R $122
Eibach sway bars $342
Total $1,532

Anyone running on the Eibach Sport-System Plus? The kit should lower me another inch front and rear. (here's where I am now: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=182173&page=2)

Anyone have a pic of their ride on this kit? What's the ride quality like?

Also, anyone using the Eibach "Pro Alignment Kits"? Worse than, equal to, or better than the Ingalls front and SPC rears?

...still debating on whether the coilovers' adjustability is worth the $400 adder. plus the idea of a complete suspension system tuned to work together is enticing.

thanks for the help. gr4m

wit hyour car i would get coilovers, but Ksports. so then that way your not stuck to one height with that bodykit....if its too low or whatever then you cant adjust it, but with coilovers, you can set it perfect to prevent bottoming out or whatever. id go with coils, id like to set it right to protect that precious RJ kit.


oh and id get SPC, just cuz i havent heard anything about eibachs alignment kit. And you can definatly find used sways ALOT cheaper than that.

thanks for the response stealth. i can't believe no one is on the eibach sport-system plus.

i'm leaning towards ss coilovers + ingalls front kits + SPC rear kits + eibach sways.

yeah that sounds like a pretty good setup, i agree, id go with the ingalls fronts too.
im sure someone is on the eibah setup system setup, but i dont know who.

but personally id still go with the Ksports, a little more adjustability between setups, i think

im no expert ....neither have i experienced either, but with the teins, the lower you go the stiffer they get. where as with the Ksports they dont get stiffer as you go lower. and i believe Ksports have a little bit more adjustability too, thats what ive gathered over time, but again ive havent had or riden in either.

as for Ksports price, i believe they are a little cheaper than Teins.just a matter of where you get them from. i think excelerate sells them, bt not sure for how much. hope i help you out, but i wish someothers would chime in with thier knowledge
