Joey at Progress says thiers will be out next month (February). I'll hold my breath until March, and if they lag I'll be getting the RS*R's. They keep the natural rake of the 09 fits... I notice when I drive the rear drops substantially anyway, and with the baby in the back and a full tank of gas; the rake is just what I need...

 

i jes switched back to the pro-kit 4rm my df's so if you're socal local, ure free to come check it out, drive on them if you want!

 

09 specific pro kit or the ones for the 07-08's?

also, I really wish you would stop typing in threads like a 12 year old.

According to Eibach.com
Eibach Springs - Performance Suspension, Lowering Springs, Shocks, Sway Bars, Coil-Overs and Wheel Spacers!

The Pro-kit is 1.2"F and 1.4"R

I am waiting for these springs!!! come on eibach!!

 

Might as well wait for Swift Springs to come out with their lowering springs. They are far superior than Eibach.

 

Well I certainly wouldnt go that far. Im still susprised tanabe got their avaliable in north america first and are one of the best and will remain on of the best springs for a good drop (df) and still able to retain comfort of next to stock, big up's!

 

They have been coming out since November, good luck, I went ahead and got Tanabe's

 

Hi five bro, very nice, df crew. I pick up my fit end of march so Im gathering parts to install for when it sits in myt laneway as ill continue to drive the vitz till my bro takes it come end march. I opted to not buy any of the work wheels i was gonna pick up as Ill rather drop it first on the oem and check for room then b4 i go ahead and blow 2g`s lol

Hopefully install witll take me 2 hours max front and rear. Vitz took me 2.2 hours, s2k took me 2.5 hours so

 

Anyone know what the estimated drop on the DF and Swift springs will be? So far the drop on the eibachs sounds exactly where I want to be!

By the way anyone happen to know if H&R has an application in the pipeline for the GE? I know they had a project car when the original fit had come out.

 

DF is 1.3 F 1.8 R

Thank you baked cookies!

 

Swift will be dropping about an inch or 25mm. Which is perfect for me with the winters and the roads we have here. What makes the Swift springs superior is just the way they are made and the fact that they not only reduce the unsprung weight but they also increase spring stroke over other lowering springs. I have driven on H&R sport and race, Eibach prokit and sportline as well as Tein Stech and I can say that the best lowered ride was on a set of Swift progressive springs. Again it's just a matter of opinions.

 

sowi 4 da late reply... the GE coils

 

I have installed Eibach Pro-Kit springs on 3 cars already; 06 Smart, 07 FiT GD and 09 MB C350 Sports. Very happy with the drop, handling and ride. I don't track my cars, just want a moderate drop with improved handling and ride over OEM.

Expecting delivery of our SSM FiT Sports 3rd week of April and will likely install Eibach Pro-Kit springs again.

Anyone purchased a set recently? Where is the best place to order them? TIA.

 

I am also curious as to where I can pick up a set of Eibachs for the 09?

 

Googled it and came up with this from autoanything.com:

Eibach Pro Spring Set, Eibach Springs Pro System

They seem to have the correct part number for the springs. Just wondering if anyone here has ordered and installed it without any issues.

 

to my knowledge they are nothing more than a part # still... vaporware

 

Hi guys!

I'm from the UK and will get getting some Eibach springs fitted in the coming weeks onto my GE.

My previous car was an EP3 CTR and i had Eibach on them and they were perfect for what i use the car for (just everyday driving and maybe the occasional sprinted runs) so I thought i'd get them on the GE too.

Its already been mentioned but the standard GE springs are pretty good, but i wanted the Eibach as I think the height is too high so needs to be slightly lowered.

Will get some pics up when i get them done.

kind regards

Gary

 

well my connection at eibach finally came through, mine are on preorder!
