Default Eibach PRO-KIT Question

Hi guys, i recently bought a 2003 350z which is bone stock. I am thinking of getting some springs for t, the pro-kit seems like a good 1" drop and their website states good ride quality as well. It is important to me to maintain near stock-like ride quality so i was wondering if anyone here has experience with these springs? I definitely dont want to be bouncing around and having a harsh ride!

Thanks

Without commenting about the age or condition of your oem 03 shocks, it's important to understand that your oem shocks when new had issues with bounce and freeway porposing even with oem spring rates. Eibach Pro-kit springs for the Z were developed with 03 oem shocks and they are progressive. But, no spring choice will save you from tired or warn out oem shocks that had a history for bounce the moment they were installed on the factory floor. I think as a spring, they are a good choice for the drop your after. Buy them, but understand that you might want find out your oem shocks need to go, if that's the case, I'd install D-specs at that point.


Here's a master list that show's your oem spring rates and spring rate specs for aftermarket springs, including the Pro-kits

been on mine for 2yrs., yeah man do consider the shocks and their reliability too liketated above , the pro kit is a great choice because the eibach sport line is too aggressive and poor ride quality for springs, on the other hand the pro kit still remains the oem feel, its not too low. remember too, do your mods the right way, eliminate the camber wear if you get them ,,,,
