Default eibach pro-kit springs???

I have a question. The eibach prokit-springs only drop the car about 1.2 in the front and 1.0 in the rear. THis isnt really a drop im looking for but i still want something that will give me good handeling. Im possibly want a 1.7 drop in the front! What springs will give me this and still handle really good?????

The eibach sportline will give you that drop you're lookin for.

I think that the prokit drops more then it claims. Atleast it did for my 5th Gen. I'm getting the pro kit this spring....w/new shocks of course!

Ok, here is a picture of my car (the teal one) and WhiteRice's car (the red one). He has stock springs and I have the Eibach pro-kit.



I will tell you my opinion. The Pro-kit feels low. I wouldn't want to drop it any further. As it is now, I have to creep over most fairly large bumps. The place I work has those spikes that pop tires if you drive over them in the wrong direction, well, every day after work I drive over those things and I have to listen to them scrape along the bottom of my car.

Get the prokit. It perfect. If you go any lower you will want a camber kit also. I autocrossed w/ my prokit and used my car as a daily driver. Perfect drop to kill the wheel gap.

Yup, love the pro-kits. I have a camber kit, but it isn't required. I have a set of Tokico shocks just sitting in my garage waiting to go on.
