I have a Pro-Kit still in the box and I have been wondering if I should go ahead and return it and get the Sportline. Pro-Kit- 1.3" drop front and back. Sportline- 1.7" drop front and back. I have a 4Door with 205/40/17s. If anybody has any pics with either the Pro-Kit or Sportline it would be great! Thanks guys!

 

Ebaich Pro-kit springs on Tokico Illuminas:



Stock tire size... one major thing I don't like is that the rear is a little lower than the front, since sedans have mroe weight in the back vs. coupes. I bought the springs and shocks used together as a package but I'm hoping to swap the springs out for Skunk2 coilover sleeves soon and see how that rides and lower it a little more.

And I don't have to worry about speed bumps or clipping my front air damn on a curb!

Aren't those a softer spring rate? I'd rather be a little higher with a stiffer spring rate personally, or if the Pro-kit isn't low enough for you (I want mine lower, plus I want to even out the rear with the front), then get something else that's low and stiff (which is why I'm putting the Skunk2 sleeves on).

 

The whole uneven thing always bugged me with these springs, I even checked to make sure I had em on right after I installed. I'll be getting a Progress or Tein set next. They've got some entry level setups for around 650...

I got pictures with 18x7.5 motegi mr-7 wheels if you want to see what that stance is all about.

 

how is the ride with the pro-kit, i just baught them and a set of tokico blues I have to put on.

 

Tokico Blues are not performanc shocks so you might wanna return those... I have the Pro-Kit with Tokico Illuminas, set at 5 rear and 4 front (softest is 1, hardest is 5). It can be a little rough but not bad at all. I like it.

 

dont get eibach prokit it leaves your car 4ft too high eibach is great quality and ground control coilovers come with eibach springs so get those

 

I dont want coilovers and I dont want my car slammed. I want it to be practical with better handling and a lesser fender well gap.

It feels like it is stock. I am not liking the push effect on the front end when trying to corner hard. If your thinking about more agressive driving think about a stiffer spring set. If your looking for an everyday driver on the streets and a little lowered look, then this is your set.

 

 

So do you guys recomend I get new struts/shocks? I havent gotten any yet and hadnt really planned on it. But I see alota people gettin 'em when they put new springs on.

 

Definitely get new struts too. You'll probably blow out the factory ones real quick as they aren't valved properly for being lowered. It'll give a real bouncy ride as well without.

KYB's are pretty good on the cheap.

 

Stock struts aren't designed to be lowered. You will increase the pressure in the tube and the seal will start leaking.

You will get a much better ride on an aftermarket strut that is designed for a lowered ride height set-up.

Yeah this is for everyday. I did not want something to agressive or low. I drive 120 miles to work everyday. I just wanted something to lower a little bit and not be very stiff. I am not an agressive driver so I dont need to much performance. I used to have intrax springs and tokico illuminas on my da and that was way to stiff ( back then i didnt mind) but now it's not what I am looking for. Thanks alot!

Plus I have OEM Type R Front Lip, OEM Optional Sides, and OEM Rear Valences...so the car will be a bit lower to the ground then a stock car. That is another reason I did not want a drop over 2inches. It would be to low for me.

 

I think eibach is a good product. I run an adjustable tokico "package" with illumias & their springs (made by eibach to their specs) & it could ride better both soft & stiff but for a daily drivin car its very livable & fun...
when this set up gives I think Im going koni/eibach.
