Eibach vs. H&R

[TG Goose]

I run the eibach pro-kit with (adjustable) MR2 inserts up front and (adjustable) Camaro shocks in the rear, 22mm Suspension Techniques sway bar in front, stock sway in rear. Hard corners, barely any body roll. Springs feel tight and firm, definitely do not feel softer than stock.

whats the difference between the 318 springs compared to 325 springs? any help would be appreciated

[digger]

i have eibach prokit and despite what people say they are not softer than stock. I went from mtech to eibach and there was a nice firmness without being harsh, defintelty not a track setup.

Eibach prokit 142lb/in FR, 270-380lb/in RR

part number 2019.140 (doesn't seem to be the one sold in the US) maybe why thats why people say they suck

I am however looking to up the stiffness though i don't want any lower HR Sport are on my list.

Oh, ok then.. and its still safe? PS: Will 15" ronals 7.5" with 205/50/15 tires or something in the sort. and I might want to but spacers, too.

Aren't I changing the rear shocks as well?

Yes, but unless you have non-factory bushings, you can't adjust anything alignment wise in the rear.

[e30BMart]

Rear, No. Front, you're taking the shock off so yes, you should.

[Bimmerman325i]

yup, but if I take races do I have to have the camber redone?

actually i dont think the rear sticks up too much if anything the front could be lower

If you don't mind driving around with your ass in the air!

...but as everyone has stated they give a decent stance.

i feel like this has been covered so many times on this site go with the races and billie sports everyone who isnt running coilovers swears by this combo. I have pro kit springs(came with my car) they are soft but as everyone has stated they give a decent stance.

I had the Eibach Pro-Kit springs (I'm assuming this is what you're thinking about) on my E30. Big drop, no spring rate, sucked monkey balls unless you are a hardparker and just want it to look kewl among the rusted hood vws.

That said, I tracked the car with Bilstein HDs (i.e. not the right shock) and the Eibach sways and was keeping up with E46 M3s in corners. This was in spite of the car, not because of its suspension though.

Well put, I've had the same experience.
