Eibach Pro-Kit here. Used the stock shocks for an additional 60k after the install, but now have Konis. The ride got soft with the stockers and I forgot how stiff the car used to feel. Much better now.

As for the ride height on my daily driver.......I don't think I'd want to go any lower than the Eibachs. It is bad enough having to deal with speed bumps and moderate driveway slopes that I can't see slamming it any lower.




AND

To AJ PwR, after touring the Eibach plant I am quite confident in their manufacturing process. Definitely a top class operation.

 

Does the Espelir springs drop the front more than the back? Hard to tell from this picture, but looks like it.

 

I'm on espelir as well..

Though the front and rear do look just about level.. I'd say the front is lower by .25" at the most..

 

How will the stock shocks hold up with the Espelir springs?

BTW: Does anyone know where you can get the Eibachs for a good price?

 

I found that the Espelir drop rears about 1.5in and the front about 1.3

 

The Pro Kit springs are progressive, so most of the time the ride isn't any harsher than stock. Of course larger bumps will hit harder because there is less suspension travel available, but you're going to have that no matter how you lower the car.

I run UK alignment and both grip and handling are on par with the stock suspension running the same alignment. I also have a KAAZ 1.5 LSD which makes sliding around and handling "at the edge" quite a bit more managable.

For me the Pro Kit is just a stopgap measure; When the stock shocks need to be replaced I'll probably go with a good set of coilovers. If you're replacing the stock shocks anyway the extra flexability is well worth the expense.

 

PM Ryan "vtecvoodoo". He works there and can most likely give you a deal.

 

Do you have any other pictures with an upclose shot of the wheel gap? I'm leaning towards Eibach's now. It looks low enough but I just want to make sure.

 

Give these a shot......



They leave about a 1.5 finger gap in the front, and slightly less than that in the back.

 

I had prokits on my 95 Integra, but for the S, I'd go with nothing cheaper than GC+Koni.
