Eibach Lowering Springs Pro-Kit

Hi All

I am looking at buying the below kit.

Can any one recommend if this is a good kit? general consensus on hear is Eibach is the way to go for springs.

Has anyone any photos of their cars with this kit on 30/40mm drop front and 30mm drop rear?

I will run for a while with the standard dampers, should this be okay, will I still benefit from the upgrade?

Thanks

Karl

good price on a good kit, I'd check the part number on eibachs website because there are 6cyl/4cyl/touring kits available and it doesn't state on there.

If you're looking for springs to use on track days then these are too soft IME. HnR are stiffer and handle better, for the same quality and Apex work well as a budget option.

I have some IS Eibachs in a cupboard after replacing them with Apex -30 kit. The Apex -30s sit a little higher than the Eibachs and ape the OE M Tec stance of the rear looking lower than the front. Perhaps the -60s are too low for handling and they need shortened dampers so HnRs seem the best option for a bit of everything IMO.

On the road, the Eibachs were compliant but the car felt wayward in faster corners as the front was too soft by quite a bit, when compared to the rear, and for the small change in ride comfort, the Apex springs were a very good upgrade for fast road driving - Apex and HnR share similar rates so the HnRs should be very good also.

If it's just styling that you're after then the Eibachs did sit well.
