eibach pro kit vs swift springs

Hi all,

Doing research for lowering springs and I have filtered them down to Swift and Eibach pro kit. I wasn't able to find any good comparison between these 2.

Has anyone tried them both and could tell me what you think about them in terms of Height and performance with stock shock??

would eibach sportline be a better choice with stock shock??

Thanks in advance

The Swift Mach Sport springs are the best thing going... I can't say anything good about Eibach springs that are presently being sold but I had some on an 81 VW Pickup and later on my son's 90 Karman Cabriolet and they were horrible... The Swifts are engineered to work optimally with the stock dampers and will amaze you.. If you were to drive a car just like yours with them on it you'd think that both the springs and dampers had been replaced with some type of Euro suspension components... Do a search of the threads on Swift Springs and read what others have to say about them... The damned things are amazing.

thanks for your reply. :-)

i understand that they are one of the best if not the best but was looking for opinions/feedback from those who have tried both.

my research says if you dont care bout the height, swift would be the best choice. does the pro kit lower the car more?

The price is way up there but they are one of very few things I've bought and installed on my car that I found to surpass the cost in function... Very light Enkei RPF-1 wheels are another thing I feel the same way about.. They and Swift springs used together will do the most to improve your Fit than anything else I know of. Kosei also has some very light weight wheels and they are priced a bit cheaper.
