Default Eibach sport system kit

anyone try this suspension kit yet? It says it drops 1.6in in the front and 2.0in in the back. I was considering only doing the prosystem for a 1.3in drop in the front and 1.4in in the back, but I'm not sure yet. anyone use these yet?

I agree, I have the Eibach Pro-system Suspension (Pro-kit spring, Eibach Struts and Shocks), and I hit speed bumps if I'm not careful. I can't imagine a lower ride. Also, the Sport Springs are more severe. My wife thinks the Pro-kitsprings areborderline, she'd really think we'd need kidney belts with the Sport-kit springs.

can the stock shocks handle it if I just got the pro-kit springs? The pro system kit and installation is pretty pricey. Even if the stock shocks gave out, replacement ones would still be a hell of a lot cheaper. Does it make that much of a difference?

I've got the Pro Kit with the stock shocks/struts and it's stiff and low. I can't imagine it any lower unless you have really tall rims and tires to get it up a little.

The kit is around $250 from most stores. It takes about 4 hours to install, most shops charge labor hourly. It's a pretty simple install if you're good with a compressor.

Yes it does but I also have Gt front sway bar and Hellwig rear. I took it out for an autocross event and it performed very well, especially when an experienced driver drove it.
