Hey, I've been running Eibach pro-kit with kyb's for a couple years now, whilst they are an awsome spring on a smooth road they are almost unbearable on a rough road, has anyone found them this stiff?
I'm also thinking maybe its hitting the bump stop as when I put them in I got new bump stops and they were longer than standard ones :s, I'm putting strut mounts in soon, would it be wise to trim them? thanks. |

I've got the Sportline kit and it is fine for me, but I don't really drive on rough roads much so I don't notice harshness much. I wish I got sportlines now, they're not as stiff and they lower more but are still a great spring. I think I will just have to try cutting the bump stops when I change strut mounts and see if that helps much. Thanks for the help guys. |

I wish I got sportlines now, they're not as stiff and they lower more but are still a great spring. I'd be completely happy with them if the front was .5" lower, but otherwise I'm really content. I didn't know that the Pro kit was stiffer, I guess Eibach intended it to be the more functional kit, rather than just visually lowering? I would've though the Sportline kit was just as stiff, if not stiffer. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Judging by Faust's pics, they'd probably sit the car nice and low (for springs at least) with 16's. Thing is, do they also give a comfortable ride, paired with something like a GR-2 strut? -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
