just wondering if i should get shocks and struts to go along with the eibach pro kit, will i be ok without new shocks? if so ive heard of getting fox body shocks and struts to replace mine. is that a good idea?

if ur lowering your car, you are goin to be puttin more wear on your shocks/struts....and this in turn will wear them out faster

it might take a long time tho, so theres not THAT much of a rush to get them changed

just slap the springs on, there is no extra "WEAR" the struts will be out of their normal operating range but this won't be a problem. anyone who tells you this doesn't know what they are talking about.

I have the pro-kit, I left the stock shocks on and everythings fine.

Hey Tcuallstar, have you looked into the sportline springs from eibach, the ride is lowered about 1.8" to 2". They look pretty sweet to me, they have a little demo picture that shows the stock springs, then the prokit, then the sportline, the sportline looks much better than the other two. Just my .02.

If you don't replace your shocks/struts right away you'll need to in the long run because they'll wear extremley fast with the drop. But if your looking for a cheap alternative for shocks and struts I've heard of people running Monroe Sensa Tracs w/ a 2" drop and have had no problems for over 2 years! You can pick up a set for around $150 or so. But the 1.5" is a good drop and you'll love how it sits. Good luck!

Same here.

How does your guys car's with the pro-kit look and handle compared to stock? I was looking to get the sportline from eibach, because the drop is 2", but if the pro-kit drops it about 1.5" and handles and looks alot better than stock without getting new shocks/struts than I might just get the pro-kit instead.

you have to spend another 200 for the CC plates if you get the sportlines, personally i think they are too low

Oh ok, I didnt know you had to buy the c/c plates, I guess thats because its lowered 2". I'll guess I'll get the pro-kit. Thanks
