Hey, I've been running Eibach pro-kit with kyb's for a couple years now, whilst they are an awsome spring on a smooth road they are almost unbearable on a rough road, has anyone found them this stiff?

I'm also thinking maybe its hitting the bump stop as when I put them in I got new bump stops and they were longer than standard ones :s, I'm putting strut mounts in soon, would it be wise to trim them?

thanks.

I've got the Sportline kit and it is fine for me, but I don't really drive on rough roads much so I don't notice harshness much.


I wish I got sportlines now, they're not as stiff and they lower more but are still a great spring.

I think I will just have to try cutting the bump stops when I change strut mounts and see if that helps much.

Thanks for the help guys.

I'd be completely happy with them if the front was .5" lower, but otherwise I'm really content. I didn't know that the Pro kit was stiffer, I guess Eibach intended it to be the more functional kit, rather than just visually lowering? I would've though the Sportline kit was just as stiff, if not stiffer.

if you have the sportlines now, i think you shouldve got the Intrax springs. they pretty much drop almost 2". i had em for 2 years, nice and purple springs.

Yeah, yeah, so I've heard. Judging by Faust's pics, they'd probably sit the car nice and low (for springs at least) with 16's. Thing is, do they also give a comfortable ride, paired with something like a GR-2 strut?
