    cabrios, h&r's and eibachs

    What is the consensus on eibachs vs h&r sports (keep in mind this is for a heavy cabby)?

    What am I looking for? Pro-kit? Sport? What are the all the eibach names and characteristics?

    I had decided on H&R sports or race, but I'm seeing used eibachs are much more common. I'm getting bilstien sports.

    H&R Sports > Eibach Prokit.

    Infact anything is > then the Prokit.

    Who knows why they called it the Prokit.

      It was supposed to be called the "Poor Tit", but eibach hires dyslexics and mongoloids in their creative & marketing department.

        Yea, I knew a few months ago I had decided on H&R over eibach, but now that it's come buying time I couldn't remember why. I'm seeing now that there were probably a few reasons.

        What about IE stage 3?

          Eibachs are basically cut stock springs, they suck ass. H&R also makes a spring kit specifically made for cabrios with less drop and stiffer springs in the rear.

          IE stage 3s are much stiffer than both.

              You don't even know what you are talking about...? Why did you post here then? Have you compared Eibach Pros to H&R's, or any other spring for that matter?

                Eibachs Prokit came on my cabrio, it sat too low but springs rates were not terrible bad. nice for smooth CA driving.

                she sat about as low as she is now on H&R coilovers...

                    hahah, yeap, that's an old '00 pic with a Raven 4000sx and first generation Lefty.

                    I would not risk getting my first boutique/spec bike rear ended.
                    like it so much that snaped 3 of those frames before moving on to a Norco Atomik,
