Thumbs up Springs....for Spring?!?

So I've been searching this forum, and I am still confused of which spring set to buy, from which company...

I'll start off by saying, its an 2004, future daily driver, and I live in Toronto, Canada. I will not be doing anything crazy with this vehicle, I'd potentially plan to try to track it once or twice - but nothing serious. I want something that will not sacrifice ride quality, but will also give me the 'look' (1" drop or so). The car is completely stock, with no serious future mods.

I was set on Eibachs, but after reading throughout the forum, half are satisfied and the other half sold the springs. One member decided to switch the front & rear springs because the settings were closer to the stock originals - did that even work out? Some suggest H&R, others suggest different brands.

I'm not sure which to get, but can anyone give me any guidance here? Please?

i have eibachs on both my cars. i can't see why somebody would switch 'em out unless they wanted to be insanely slammed. the eibach pro kit with the one inch drop is perfect.

Eibachs here too. I love them. To me the drop is perfect and even with moderately aggressive street driving I have noticed nothing negative in terms of handling or ride quality.

I can see how they might come up for sale from people who start to track the car and want to move to coilovers. If I ever got to where I could schedule track events more than a couple times a year I might upgrade just to have the control.

Up until 2 days ago I had the a modified version of the Eibach Prokit on my car. I will tell you that they are almost perfect. The only complaint I had was that the front set entirely too high, so I cut 3/4 coil off the front. I sold that set up and went with Espelir ASD's/koni set up. I'm waiting for the springs to finish settling before I decide if I want to adjust the perch setting to there lowest point.

This is with the modified pro kit...

Check out Espelir springs. They are our most popular selling set of springs. Many owners are very satisfied with the drop and ride quality.

Instock - PM us for pricing.
