I installed the Eibach Prop kit about 2 months ago and I didn't replace the stock dampers. I'm now at a point where I wish I could revisit that decision again. Not only would had it been less effort overall to do it all at once, it wouldn't be that much more expensive in the long run. Remember, you'll need to get the car re-aligned after you install the springs. That will cost you $60-$100, depending where you live. If you only do the springs, then the dampers later, you'll be paying twice for alignment.

There's a group buy for D-spec in this site if anyone interested.

That sounds like a good combo. I did Eibach Pro kit and left the stock shocks/struts on for about 35k miles without a problem In fact when i had them replace last week with Tokico HP's the shop said it looked like I had a few more miles left on the stockers.

How much drop did you see with the different springs?
Anyone use the Steeda ultralite or sport springs?

If I remember correctly I got 1 3/4" drop in the front and 1 1/2" drop in the back with the Pro Kit which surprised me. That sounds more like what the Sportlines would have dropped it.

Wait you saying you dropped more in the front than the rear?? That doesn't seem right at all.

You'll be okay for awhile, I thought the same as you LOL but, eventually they will REALLY get to you so I'd wait and just throw the shocks on at the same time and avoid doing this thing twice. Just my .02

I have the sport springs.... and glad I did not go lower for my daily driver. It's dropped a tax over an inch. I will be putting on dampers this spring along with new tires.
