Got the car back today. It handles curves very well. Sometimes it seems kinda of bouncy. Not sure if it's the road or the stiff suspension. Anyone have any ideas? This is my first suspension kit not sure if it is suppose to feel this way?

Forgot to ask if I really need a camber kit? Drop is only like 1.5". Not sure if I need a kit or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

#1 - What struts did you use?

#2 - Get an alignment. Thats the only way to tell if you need a camber kit.

I would get camber kits for the front and back regaurdless if your right on the money.
It will allow you to have the ability to adjust your ride when you want to.
And Since you are moding your car you probablly with go threw differnt wheels and tires till you get the look/stance you want.
It won't hurt having them even if there not needed now.

Eibach struts that came with the kit. Some have said that you don't need a camber kit on this particular application. I want clarification. I'll get an Alignment later. Man this car can carve curves now.

I plan on staying with stock rims and tires for now. Thinking of going to 225/55/16 on stock rims tho.

Just get an alignment. Im pretty sure a camber kit would be a waste of money for you.

Thanks civicdrivr that's what I was thinking but better to check with those that know. I went through a 35 mph curve tonight at 65. Before there would be no way that would happen. Probably could have been faster but just trying it out.

Good to hear someone else review of this set up. I plan to lower my car and was also going to go with the Eibach Pro plus Kit, it included the springs, shocks, and front and rear tie bars. I was worried about the feel of the ride, is it a harder ride? I know it definately changes the handling which is what I want.

Where did you buy it and what was the cost?

I'll try to get some pics up later. I've not posted pics before might take me a while. The car is automatic. info for stance. The ride is stiff, to me not much diff than stock out on the highway but on side roads, in town you can feel more bumps. Bought the kit through jdmhub.com Cost around $715.65 no tax, no shipping. Seemed like a good deal.

The kits only been on the car a couple days now. Not much driving time on it yet. Hoping things get somewhat softer. The Cl is a premium not a type s, so the stock susp was lot softer. So going to Eibach is something to get used to.

WOW! $715 o_0 you could have saved up for coils. But than you would definitely have to get a camber kit.

I guess it would not be that much of a change since I have a Type-S. I have always thought the suspension was a bit hard but after 5 years I grew accustomed to it. Thanks for the review. Keep an update going, I want to get this done by the end of summer.

I think like a lot of other people, I went through the suspension self debate, and what setup to go with.

I was thinking KYB AGX adjustables on tanabe NF210s, then the full eibach pro kit, then was thinking about koni yellows with neuspeed street springs.

I ended up settling on the eibach for my application, which is weekend warrior driving that is semi-spirited. I won't be tuning it just a semi-kush ride with enhanced damping power. I hope eibach will do that for me, I will post some pics when installed.

It was also the cheapest setup I priced out and includes FSB and RSB =D

Oddly enough, my Comptech spring just snapped. I've had more than 50k miles on my current suspension, and I'm starting to feel it, so I'm looking to change out both the struts and springs. I was looking at the Eibach Pro System also.

did you need to buy anything extra on top of this kit, or did it come with everything for install?
