Default Fourth gen suspension questions...need to upgrade to stiffer spring after 3rd ruined dp.

Yea, so my 3rd 3 in dp has been taken out yet again by shotty roads. I am runnin teh Eibach Pro-kit with koni yellows. It was suppose to only drop it about 1 1/2 inches but seems lore liek 2 in.

Anyone have suggestions on stiffer, maybe a little higher springs?

I was dreaming up some kind of fat underbody cross brace - it could double as a skid plate...

first i apologize, but i dont know what dp stands for, second ive been looking at different springs as well. From what it sounded like, eibach prokit would be the mildest spring that you could get. Someone else on h-tech said that they were only rated at 15% stiffer than stock, and I thought they were rated at 1.2 in drop or so. How is it that it looks like 2 in drop? Do you happen to have any pics? Does anyone else have any experience with the prokit? I was gonna buy these.

As far as a stiffer, and less drop spring, check out Tein S tech's , they are only a mild .8" drop, definitely worth checking out.

It's tough to come by 850+ dollars for teins, although they ARE awesome.

MordecaiPSI- Do you have any pics of your car lowered with the prokit? I am seriously considering these springs, but want to see how much they really lower your car. And how is their ride quality? Thanks

you may have already done it, but why don't you just raise the car by moving the clip up on the koni yellow's? that'll raise ya about .5", i think. And if you need stiffer, just tighten up the shocks.
