Who has installed Eibach Pro-Kit?

Only those that have answer please.

Heres what I am wondering. Does you car RIDE better then before? Take bumps better ect (I am not talking about handling)

I installed a set on my 89 Formula--in addition to making the car look better, handle better---they RIDE far better then the stock WS6 springs.

So I am looking for some feedback for those that have knowledge about my question.

thanks

I have the pro kit on mine and I love it.

The car takes bumps better IMO.

The ride feels smoother and the tires grab the road better while the suspension is in motion.
Before it felt like i was loosing traction on rougher road. Now its amazing!

And yes the handling over all is much better too!

i ran the prokit springs for a little over 10k mi on the stock struts and the ride was very close to stock on a comfort level with the progressive rears kickin in when you get on it. then i added the koni's and the ride was nowhere near as smooth as stock but the handling was tons better. hope this helps

I just installed a pro kit on my LS this evening. When it was all said and done, I am rather bummed about the amount it lowered the car, which is definitely less than advertised. The front only came down about 5/8 of a inch, but the back came down nicely. Weird, but I guess I can live with it for a while. I took it for a test drive to make sure everything was okay before taking it to the alignment shop tomorrow. I installed my 18" Tenzos and 235/40 Nittos yesterday and put about 80 miles on it today so I had a little comparison time before the springs. I immediately noticed I felt more the sharp bumps and holes and crap we have on our roads here. It wasn't bad, but sharper than the dull stock springs. I made a run up the freeway and through some sweepers and it definitely handles better! Like A LOT better. I tried hammering the brakes to see how much the nose would dive and it didn't seem to want to dive much at all. Firm all the way around. I'll probably take a half coil off the front to see if I can bring the front end down just a little more.

They dont drop a lot (~1") but offer a much higher spring rate than stock, so it will handle much better.
