Default EIABACH Sport system kit!! Need opinions about to buy!! compare to H&R + KYBAGX

http://www.tirerack.com/suspen...m+Kit

Basically just sportlines coupled with eibach shocks and special bumpstops.

I haven't heard anything about the shocks... thats what I'm woried about.

I can get this setup or H&R Sports + KYB AGX

Both setups cost the same at around 450 shipped

I would personally have the adjustablility of the agx's or koni's...those don't look to be adjustable.

Also, what springs are those? I would rather get a lower drop with sportlines or h&r's and get a good spring and drop with the shocks of my choice.

they are sportlines (the pic isn't the exact kit for my civic, just an example) the kit is sportlines + mathced shocks by eibach + special bump stops all designed for specific applications (ex: my EJ8) I think the benefit of the system is supposed to be that the shocks are specifically matched to the sportlines

Just seeing if anyone has experience with this Eibach system

I would reccommend saving a little bit more money and purchasing some koni's and GC's.

It's better to do it right the first time.

Well in that case I wouldn't get it still...I like having an adjustable shock . Although, for the money it seems to be a pretty decent setup, eibach makes some quality stuff.

I have the eibach pro-kit and I like it! real big change from stock springs, except the only thing its not an agressive drop like the sportlines. The springs are good because they eliminated nose dive, and somewhat reduced body roll without the sway. I plan on getting the shocks and struts from eibach since they are made for my application and plus they have a million mile warranty.

So overall no complaints here.

Why is having an adjustable shock so important? Does it really make that big of a difference in handeling/ride quality when you change the setting?

If you plan to do mixed usage with the car, or want the ability to set it up for auto-x one day and drag the next, you can change your handling characteristics rather easily. Mate adjustable shocks with coilover sleeves, and you can control ride height too.

If this is your daily driver, you're looking to get a nice drop with good shocks, and won't be looking to change it, get the eibach sportlines kit.
