Hi everyone lm thinkin to get Eibach pro kit springs for my stock S. I was wondering has anyone had them on there s? hows the ride comfort? and does it work well with the stock suspensions? would l need wheel spacers? thanks alot...........

 

Quite alot on here have them and like them.

I decided against them as they lower a little over an inch therefore i believe you cant get the full range of geo adjustment, therefore needing extra bits.

 

do you have them on ur S ?or have u driven one that has the kit?

 

No i dont have them on my S, i have swift springs which are a different setup/type of spring and lowering range.

 

I'm also seriously looking at the Pro Kit at the moment. I like the drop and will get them professionally fitted and all the geo done as well.

I'm looking at TGM to fit, do they do geo as well? Anyone have much experience of them?

Anyone with the Pro Kit feel free to put down your thoughts on the Eibachs, any more info would be good right now!

 

I'm trying to decide whether to for the Eibach Pro kit or spend more on coilovers?

My main concern with Eibach Pro kit is having uncomfortable driving - i.e. 'Crashy' ride... as the dampers would not be setup for the springs...

I'd also not have such a great car on track...


Where as coilovers hopefully should be well damped for the springs, along with dampening settings... Allowing both comfortable driving and great track performance.

Please correct me if I'm wrong people.

 

this is what eibach says:

Will I need to change my dampers?
Eibach springs are specifically engineered to work in harmony with the standard dampers on a car. Provided that the original dampers are in good condition they will work perfectly with a set of Eibach springs.

 

I doubt my car will be seeing a track anytime soon so thats not to much of a worry for me. I just want my car to be a little lower with a more aggresive stance to it. I do alot of motorway miles so keeping the comfort of a stock ride is fairly important.

Coilovers would be great but that is some serious

 

Remember that you have coilovers already on the car

I choose the swift springs because they are quite close to the stock rates unlike others, and they are a little firmer and less bouncy than stock, though the small drop will put off most people. I have witnessed no crashing, boncing or vacant feel.

Swift springs are more expensive than eibach's though, i think swift are japanesee too.

Not subsitute for good coilovers though seems Kw's etc are ace, but im quite happy with my setup.
