Eibach

[ckarsonkidd]

whats the better choice i see the price difference comparing $349 for eibach front and rear off pelicanparts? or $612 for the whole eibach pro kit?

Not buying Eibach springs is the best choice.

Check out ST springs, H&R Sport, H&R Race, or IE Stage 3.

^^^What he said. I believe the general consensus is that Eibach springs are way too soft.

But to answer your question, $349 is the price for springs only, the "kit" includes new, shorter struts to match the springs. You do not want to run regular length shocks with lowering springs. They will bottom out and blow due to being compressed too far.

They're soft, but complement beautifully with a relatively stiff shock like Bilstein Sports. I have that combo in my vert and I love it. Don't pair Eibach springs with KYB shocks or any other soft shock/struts.
My two cents

And Bilstein has apparently just valved a set of sport struts/shock to specifically package with Eibach sport springs... Saw them at Turner for an "introductory price"...

That's a good deal for a great setup!!!!

Thats a great setup at a great price although I hadn't realized they were Eibachs. If you order it for a Cabrio the PN is the same (BTS7511) but its valved differently so you need to specify what vehicle its for.
