How Bad Is the Eibach Drop?
How Bad Is the Eibach Drop?
I have the Pro-Kit sitting in my room and I am hesitant on putting it on. I see everyone selling it/ complaining about how it sucks and it doesnt drop the car at all. I keeping my stocks and have 25mm spacers in the rear and 15mm in the front...Will it make a difference or am I just wasting my time. Sorry if this is beating a dead horse.
ummm...never heard of anyone complaining about eibach springs....the drop is perfect for those people who are just trying to cover the gap. I have them on and am very happy with them. The comfort level is the same, you do not need camber kits, the drop is just right.
I am dropped on Eibach and I love them. They are perfect for me as I didn't want to be too low but it definately takes care of the extra gap. The ride quality is also very good, extremely close to stock, barely tell the difference. Put them on, if you don't like em, go with something else.
I will go against the grain here ..the ride isnt great but it cost 200 bucks so you cant expect much the front drop is decent but the rear is barely noticeable. this is however the cheapest option as no camber kits are required.

I was going to go with just Tanabe's up front, but am trying to locate used Eibach's to try out. Like the OP, I'm hesitant on the Eibach's, just because of what I've read on this board. I am of the type to just spend the money on coilovers like my last car, but I will be the first to admit that KW's for my personal use were overkill.
OP, I think I'm just going to take the plunge and try Eibach's. What I may do before is take a ride in another member's car with Eibach's to see if I don't mind the slight change in ride comfort from stock.

i too have heard from a few different members that after sometime the ride will become bouncy + harsh. i just purchased tanabe, i havent heard complaints about tanabe springs
No I have H&R DRM...I don't know I have just heard a bunch of varying opinions obviously. But I do want a decent drop, not slammed by any means...I just didn't want the big monster truck look I have going now..I don't mind rake either..Its going to be a day or so before our spring compressor is mounted so I figured I would throw it out there....Make myself happier...Im all about handling too I have hotchkiss and they are awesome I just wanted to compliment them a little bit..And make it look nicer obviously
I have Eibachs on my sedan and it corrected major gaps in both the front and back. The ride might be 5%-10% harsher on really rough roads but it is very close to the stock "S" road feel. I don't know if my OEM height was just abnormally high but while I can get toe within specs I still needed front/rear camber arms.
