Eibach Pro Kit springs

Post by ChuckstrPT »

Anyone have any experience with Eibach Pro Kit springs? I've got 185k on my stock suspension, and I'm looking into freshening it up. I really don't want to lower it too much at all, as I see some fairly rough roads, but I'm thinking I'd like to firm it all up a bit.
Thanks!

I don't have them on my car, but I have heard very good things about them. I think member shaeet has some for sale, or at one time did. You could look for his post, and message him for his opinions.

eibach makes a great spring. if you have 185k miles on your struts, id get some new ones while you're swapping everything...

the vibe has a ton of clearance...even lowered 1.2", you should have issues. the progressive rates are very compliant

The struts are most definitely shot. That's what started this conversation. I have to replace the struts, to do that, I'll have the springs off...so, if I want to replace the springs, now is the time.

Monroe makes a QuickStrut assembly for the '05. It makes the job so much easier it's ridiculous. Goes from 2 hours per side to 30 minutes.
