Default Eibach Pro Kit review + Before/After pics

Installed the Eibach Pro Kit about a week and a half ago. Took about 5 hours using a jack and hand tools. Knowing what I know now about the install I can probably do it in 3 hours.

The drop is not too much (you can see in the pics), there is still a small gap in the front and a sizeable gap in the rear. I can clear most dips/ramps pretty easily so i'm happy with it.

The ride is pretty much the same as stock (i'm running stock shocks still). You can feel the difference when you hit a bump but with normal driving it's pretty identical to stock

The camber doesn't look to bad thankfully, I'm going to get an alignment at the end of the month and hopefully it's within spec.

I didn't do the rear mount mod....i'm contemplating doing it because that extra 1.2" or so would sit the fender right about flush with the top of the tire.

The thing holding me back is that i've been really happy with NOT scratching anything so far. And the extra 1/2" might put my exhaust canister just a tad bit too low.

The install for the rear is super easy, the front is what i would consider pretty average in terms of difficulty. Some cars are a little harder some are a little easier.

Just make sure you have an extra pair of hands to help you lift/press/move the suspension parts and it'll be a breeze.

Just found this thread, I am considering the same set up. Do the pro kits bottom out? I had neuspeed springs on my honda in the past and every time there was a dip it would bottom out. Is it bouncy? or is it stiffer then stock?
