Will rear 5th gen Eibach prokit fits 4th gen Koni yellow?

ok guys...I did my homework on searching. so please help me out. Someone had 4th Gen AGX before with 5th Gen eibach prokit.....then he had a problem with the rear spring, something about not fitting right. This person also suggested to get 4th gen rear eibach to fit 4th gen shock. And another member, lovesick, confirmed that it does fit, 5th eibach with 4th gen koni.

ok, my question, since Koni yellows are designed for 4th gen,

Will the rear eibach (5th gen) fits the koni yellow 4th gen shock?


thx....getting really close on purchasing the shocks and eibach will be here next week.

Cant answer your question, but I can tell you MaxSpeed fits for **** on 4th gen AGX. I think I am going to return my rear AGX for the Tokico's. Doesn't sit right at all!!

bascially it doesnt fit right on the car untill they finished the install and let the car weight push the spring into the bed. worth a try...but once u install it, it is hard to return it.

If you look at picture 501 you can see that it still is not seated properly. Picture 502 is the other side, which did come down. That is how mine is. Also, in picture 501/502, you can see the dust boot is touching the side of the spring (same on mine).

Mine have yet to make a noise while regularly driving, but going over big curbs or speed bumps, the bottom metal on the spring grinds against the metal on the spring perch.

If you ask me, this doesn't seem like an ideal setup. While I am 100% in love with the ride quality, I don’t think I am going to keep this setup. Just doesn’t seem right to have the rear of your car supported by spring/strut setup that is not made for each other.
