I use the Pro kit with Koni yellows. Handles Really well!!!!
I dont know how they will do with stock shocks tho, i have heard that they are a little too stiff for the stock shocks.

If i were u, get some shocks to complete the suspnesion, and when u can get the itr 22mm sway with a reinforcement kit. I use it with bsq kits

Here are som pix

I've been riding on the Pro-kits for a few years now. Currently, I have them paired with some KYB AGX's. I like the combo quite a bit.

I used my stock shocks for a couple of years with the Pro-kits. It wasn't too bad. After a while, though, the lower spring took its toll on the stockers.

his car looks a little lower then 1.3 in. keep in mind that he is using koni yellows, so he can change his perch setting to make the drop even lower. I have the exact same setup and i really like them and that about the same drop as me, i have a 2 finger gap.

yup
keep that in mine guys.
Eibach says their por kit gives 1.3-1.5 drop, koni yellows also have adjustable perch setting

i say my drop is a little lower then 1.5

My koni has 2 fron perch setting and 3 rear
my front is set at top and rear at center

also my tires are bridgestone potenza re730,
my opinion they grip real well,last real long and look sweeet. size 205-50-15

I just ordered a set of KYB AGX's paired with the Eibach Pro-Kit. Can't wait to get rid of my current set-up, GC/Blown Tokico's.

My car is pretty low now considering the shocks have nothing left in them and I know the Pro-Kit/AGX set-up will be no where near as low so I guess I will have to get used to the new set-up.

Minty Dip nice ride but if your car is set on the lowest perch with the koni's, you should let this guy know in case he cant afford the koni's just yet and thinks the pro kit will look like your setup.

Just wondering becauseyour setup looks almost identical to my sportline w/stock shock setup. Let us know

like i said, my shocks are set at top perch front and center rear

it is so called "normal" height perch. But honestly it sits a little lower then normal.

cam003- my dropp is a little lower with my shocks. If you were to put pro kit springs on your stock shocks, expect a 1.3-1.5 drop. What you see in the pic i estimate a 1.8 drop becuase of my shocks.

Hope that helps

I dropped my LS on a set Tokico's (not illuminas) and the Prokit. I ended up with camber that was way out. I have the slip somewhere which I can post if need be so I ended up getting a progress camber kit to fix it. of course I also drove from NY to OR like 3 days after I dropped it with a full car load so that might have contributed to the f'ed camber numbers.
