Hey there,

 

Upping my brakes and wheels this month - guessed I should try and sort the suspension too. I was thinking of fitting Eibach PRO-KIT Progressive lowering springs over a set of up-rated dampers. I am looking for opinions from anyone that is using this spring kit and what dampers you have them paired up to.

 

I am NOT looking for a super stiff set up - just a good fast road set up and I am hoping the increase in wheel size along with these springs and a decent set of dampers will give me exactly what I am looking for.

 

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who is using these springs for their opinion.

 

Many Thanks :D - Cyrus

You should try it with the wheels first because you might be surprised about how much harder that already makes the ride and how much sharper the feel. I have the same size tyres on mine. Also beware lowering too much as the camber change especially on the rears will kill the inside edges of the 265s in no time.

 

If you do go that way you should probably budget for adjustable top links front and rear to reset the camber and also the increased risks of dinging your new wheels on our potholed roads.

im running Eibachs over KYB AGX dampeners on medium stiffness and am very happy with them - fast-road setup too. ive had my suspension set up and tuned professionally to get the most out of it,.

Can I ask where you had the suspension tuning done and where you got the dampers from Evo3?

i got the dampeners 2nd-hand from a club member but id been informed theyd only done 1000 miles or so. im sure Smithy's Place/DTA sell them. the company (who i cant rate highly enough) is CenterGravity off the A5 here in the Midlands.
