Who has eibach pro springs?

I'm curious to see who's got these installed. Drop is around 1.5" front and 1.3" rear I think...Let me know what you think of them. Also, what shocks and struts did you pair them with? I want to spend around 150 for a great deal on springs and then keep them around til i get more money and get some shocks. then I'll mount it all. Thanks.

i have the eibach's on my stock struts. i bought the springs and shocks as one piece and later found out the struts were sh*t. suprisingly though the ride is pretty damn smooth. its a little hard though when going over big bumps though... i'm saving for GR2's but am satisfied with the eibach/stock struts for now. PM me or reply if you want a pic.

A pic would be great. I'll wait til I get aftermarket struts before i put the springs on. Not sure if 1.5" drop will be enough or just right. I live in boston so remember that

Eibachs go great with Konis or AGX. Personally I went the Koni route. The drop isn't as much as the others, but then again, everyone else is riding on bumpstops But for straight handling, they rule.

Now I've seen pics of a 2" drop vs. a 1.5" drop. I like 2" more, but how good are Eibachs compared to Maxspeed's or Sprints? or even H&Rs? I live in boston and am concerned about the potholes...2" gonna be a problem with em?

I have Eibach springs with GR2's, but I didn't know until FASHIZL told me. They ride real good, guess the handling is better, a little bumpier than my dad's 96 GXE, but good ride quality. I wish I had money for some Coilovers, I want more of a drop.

In my opinion the Eibach's & kyb agx shox, are the best combo. The performance is unbelievable. The drop is great too. You'll love the handling Eibach's give you....Right now im riding on 4 in the front, 8 in the back on my kyb agx's(the most stiffest) and eibach's. It's unbelievable what these two do together as a team !

Im on eibachs now. The drop is fine, I have onl 17's on my car, and while a little more drop could look alitte nicer. I really think that performace wise, you'll be happy with them. They are about as comfortable a ride you can get on performance springs, also, the shocks which are stock, besides behaving slightly funny on rebounds from big bumps (due to excess travel)they arent leaking and appear in good shape after about 60k on them
