Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs


Any opinions on this? I want to lower my car and increase performance at the track but I don't want my ride quality to suck .... is this a good kit?

yes. the ride quality is the same, just a touch rougher but barely at all. and the handling will be a night and day difference. especially if you get some good tires to go with the springs.

Did it affect your tire wear at all?

the front tires will be angled in a slight bit but you can get caster camber plates to compensate for it. i haven't bothered getting plates and mine seems to be wearing normally.

What exactly do caster camber plates do? I've been trying to figure it out forever.

caster camber plates allow for greater adjustablility when aligning cars that have been lowered. i got the Maximum Motorsports 4 bolt plates along with a Steeda bumpsteer kit when i put my Eibach's on...

the pro kit is the maximum drop you can do without getting C/C plates

i have the kit and so does my friend, and we both dont have c/c plates and our tires wear fine. just get an alignment after the springs settle and you should be good.

if you are trying to increase your performance at the drag strip then dont get lowering springs. but if you want to increase your performance on the street and road courses then def lower it.

Well I occasionally go to the track too are the lowering springs going to hurt me?

They hurt your launches because your car can't squat down on to those rear tires. Also, if you're running any significant power it can also effect your 1-2 shift, maybe even 2-3 shifts (you need a lot of power for it to be too detrimental), but it is mostly going to effect your launches.

Your strait line launching will suffer a little. The good new is that your car will look AMAZING

The ride will be a little rougher if all you do is replace the springs and nothing else.
