Thumbs up Eibach Pro Kit Anyone??

Just looked and found Eibach Pro Kit's for sale at Tirerack. Here is a link for anyone interested.

Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set
Not a bad price either. Not really my thing, but just thought I would share.

Thanks for the information Kittengolf. Originally, I was planning on getting the Eibach Pro-Kit, but after doing some research, Tanabe DF210 is what I will be buying instead.

Tips anyone where is the best place to buy DF210 springs? TIA.

Very mild drop, not bad. I am sure with a proper suspension set up such as sway bars and a wider tire you could expect a pretty well handling little package. I am curious as to what the spring rate will be?

Ride Comfort: Pro-Kit versus DF210

The Eibach Pro-Kit being a progressive spring, will the ride be more comfortable than the Tanabe DF210?

Not into a slammed look, just moderately lowered with almost a stock ride.
Any comments or advice? TIA.

BTW, I found out that MicroImage sells the DF210 for GEs at S219.00 shipped (MSRP $280.00). Good deal?

When would you need to worry about getting a chamber kit?

People have resorted to more negative camber to resolve tire-to-fender rubbing issues.

By installing camber bolts, it allows the camber to be adjustable. Positive (+) camber means the top of the tire is pushed out; negative (-) camber, the top is pushed in. Zero camber means that the tire sits perpendicular to the road surface.

OK, so far so good?

Now by having a negative camber, you allow the top of the tire to sit further away from the fender lip, thus providing more tire to fender clearance which hopefully will so the tire-to-fender rubbing.

Hope this helps.

My Other Cars...Dropped with Eibach Pro-Kits

As I said before, I prefer a moderate drop, not a slammed look.
Allow me to share 2 photos with you.
