Default Eibach Prokit

Hey,
Recently picked up a 00' EK
was debating on a coilover setup or just some springs
Was looking up eibach pro and heard some good reviews from people
Was gonna ask if the stock shocks would work for now?
thanks for the advice

They should work fine with the stock shocks if you have fairly low mileage on them. The drop on these springs is low at all.

whether or not stock shocks will "work" or not, better shocks are better shocks.

if you care about handling, get better shocks like illuminas.

if you dont, then stick with stock shocks...

If you're going for looks and nothing else then yes. Personally I would go with something that lowers the car more. A lot of people get the pro kit and then get bored of it like a few months later and switch it out for something lower. I personally daily drive a sedan with sportline springs and I have a itr front lip which makes my front end about 3-4 inches off the ground and I never had any problems with it. I drove over speed bumps and whatever and barely had any scraping problems. As long as you don't mind being a little careful over inclines they're fine. But keep in mind they do ride a lot stiffer than the pro kit as well. It only took about a day for me to get used to and I don't even notice it anymore. But I guess I probably have higher tolerances than most.

If you don't mind a little bit bumpy ride just go with the sportlines. Here's a few pics of my 4 door on them if your interested. I have NEVER bottomed out and I'm using cheap kyb gr2 struts. Some of the people don't like the ride quality of these springs but I think they're great! They are almost tuckin tire too!
