BEFORE and AFTER Eibach ProKit

[ATPDK]

Just showing a bit of the difference from stock suspension (non-M) to Eibach ProKit.

Not the precise same angle on both pictures, but it gives you an idea of the result.

*UPDATE*

Again - not perfect angle, but gives an idea.

Changed the springs the other day - so better pictures to come!
I was just searching for these kind of pictures before i bought et springs. Here they are... :wink:

Wow difference is night and day!

 

[Bing]

That's an excellent couple of pics, nice one

I had these springs on my ITR and CTR, they a really good for sensible lowering and maintaining performance.

Could you feel any changes in terms of handling?

 

[ChawenHalo]

Great pics! Thank you. How's the ride and handling changed?

Thanks everyone!

Oh yes, it made a difference! Not a world of difference. Probably because I - still - have RFT!
Before lowering I could clearly see when I speeded up, then lowered xenon headlights at 1-3 notches. Now regulates only about 1 notch.
So it has become stiffer in the suspension, but I do not think it has gone beyond comfort. It has not been stiff as a board.

Now I have unfortunately only been running 20 kilometers with the new springs, so they have yet set itself at all.

NOTE :!:
... the story is that I also have installed a spacer kit!
15mm front 20mm rear.
So it is not only the springs.

I think they help you feel the car controls much better on the road - again, still with RFT tires.

That looks perfect to me, good work. Have you had any scrubbing with both spacers and eibach installed?

 

[Swiftly]

Looks great

I had eibach's fitted today too. I have to say the change in direction is so much sharper. I'm running 18" non run flats and the ride is best described as taught. I have had 17" on standard springs and run flats and the ride is less crashy with the eibach's.

looks great its amazing how much it changes the stance of the car in real life

i have nothing but praise for the eibach pro kit, it took about 2 weeks for mine to proberly bed in, i noticed a significant drop at the front end instantly and 400 miles later the back caught up.

i dont find the comfort is compromised at all, and speed bumps havnt really been an issue.
in my personal opinion i think all the 85/86 range is far more ascetically appealing with the gap between wheel and arch reduced


excuse my blackberry 'quality' and the dirty car as its the only pictures from the same angle twice

before springs are fitted / springs bedded in

03 2.5i 18" non runflat

Is this eibach pro kit adjustable or set hight? If just spring how much have you gone down?

 

[DPG]

I think it's 30mm drop.

 

[T2FFN]

15mm if sport springs, 30mm if non-sport oem springs.

is this just a spring kit or is it the shocks and the springs?
