Default Eibach Pro-Kit

Anyone got pics of their 3rd gen Integra with Eibach Prokits?

What's your impression on these springs? What other springs would you consider besides these ProKits?

i dont want my car dropped incredibly low but i wanted a stiffer spring and a lower stance. plus with my body kit it looks low enough and i dont like going .00005mph over speedbumps.

I can go 5mph over speed bumps.. My car would just be down for a week, but I CAN..

I have Skunk2 coilovers, and I *always* recommend adjustables to anyone who is remotely into performance driving.. Like immy said above, with his kit, the pro-kit looks great, but if it was stock, it'd look like a truck..

If u have a jack at home and don't mind the 10 minutes to raise and lower your spring perches (what the spring rests on, u twist these up and down by hand to get the ride height), then get the adjustable coilovers from Skunk2 or Ground Control..

If not, and your body is stock and you want a good-looking stance, get the sport kit.. If u are crazy-kitted, get the pro.. Good luck and let us know what u do..

Can you even notice the drop with the pro-kit and no body kit?
Yes, the drop is noticable. If you can notice the difference in ride height between a Type R and all other integras then you will notice the drop with the prokit.

I had a GSR with the prokit and a Wings West front lip. I didn't have much clearance up front with the lip (for me at least, I know plenty of people that go lower). I was able to scrape the header a couple times, and I wonder how it would be if my car was even lower! I know my friend's DC header on his GSR is scraped to ****. You just have to be really careful on bumps, and the prokits allow you to make some mistakes, since it doesn't drop it REALLY low.

It looks great with a lip and painted stock sideskirts.

As for their performance, they are much better than stock, but almost too soft. They ride smooth on the street, but the car doesn't ride too flat if you're cornering hard (compared to other stiffer springs). I was able to scrape up my Wings West lip when I was cornering hard, that was FUN...

I think the prokits are the safest drop, and there will be no need for a camber kit. You could try the h&r sports or neuspeed sports for a much nicer looking drop, but you may need a camber kit. They would handle a little better, but wouldn't ride as smooth

I did plenty of research before deciding on the Prokits. I did not want a slammed look, I just wanted a stiffer spring rate that would offer a decent, rather mild, drop and would still let me enjoy auto-x's (which I have yet to attend since the install). Beware though, if you want the slammed look, do not buy these springs, the drop is not for everyone but is perfect for me. They are great, they maintain stock-like ride quality yet perform like an aftermarket spring and combined with Koni Yellows, they are great. I have 2 fingers left in back and 2 and a half in front. I give the Prokits a big .

I'm sorry, I do not have a pic currently available, but do a search here and check the internet, i'm sure you'll come up with enough pics there.

Very nice I definitely want a Pro-Kit now. That's as low as I'd ever want a street car. Looks great...not slammed...personally, I don't like the way most cars look slammed (unless its a Le Mans car ). Thanks for the pix guys!
