Hi,

With the Eibach pro-kit springs fitted to the Spec.B Bilsteins, how much do they lower the car at the front and rear?

I know Eibach quote 1" at the front and 0.8" at the rear but this is with the KYB struts not the Bilsteins.

Any information from the guys who have fitted Eibach pro-kit springs to their Bilsteins would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

i have them fitted to my sti bilsteins with camber plates..


the back is great, the car sits just above the tire
it sits a little high in the front. needs to be lower to match the rear (im unsure if the camberplates are causing the difference)

the ride is nice. they where fitted to my factory KYB's, and swapped them when i got the billies.

Thanks GT_TONY.

Are you able to tell me the distance from the middle of the centre cap to the edge of the guards front and rear?

What is the exact part number of the Eiback pro-kit springs you have?

What do you think of the ride quality?

Thanks!

unfortunately i cant be much more help at the moment

im currently on holidays down in Vic (without the car)

the ride height is a little bit annoying as i would like to have the front a little lower


i cant comment on the Ebachi's as they where in the car when i bought it. they seem alot firmer in the Bilstein shocks than the KYB's

Maybe you should consider coilovers if you don't want ride height hassles.

Someone here just got some KW V2's from the US for only $1650 delivered.

How much are you asking for the Eibach springs?

I was looking for others to join me in group buy. The starting price is good and we'd hopefully bump it down a little if a few people jumped in. Someone else achieved the $1650 delivered price from the same seller.
