I installed mine (Eibach Pro Kit) yesterday and the ride definitely improved.
The car corners better overall and w the camber changes is better
planted. As always the pro kit delivers as per advertisement. Got mine
from tirerack for little less than $250 shipped.
More to come as I put some more miles on em.

Look like they could give a bit more of a drop. I'm curious as to what Megan Racing will provide since they always seem to give a lower drop than others.
Yea... It would had been nicer if it is a bit more drop. But since you are eventually getting coilovers... I guess this will have to do for now.

Let's just say I expect my stock shocks to blow, and when they do, I'll have money for coilovers.

after looking at the review for the sportline vs the pro kit, and accessing my daily commute of 60+ miles, I've decided on the pro kit. I'll be installing it over this weekend and I'll post pics once its all said and done

I have to say Eibach Pro kits match perfectly with stock dampers in any application. I have had them on my last 3 cars with great success. My current ride is a VW CC and I have put over 70k miles on the Eibachs. Like my past rides, they totally transform the handling of the car for the better and have never been harsh. They do not blow out stock dampers pre-maturely as many people fear...and I live in New England where the roads are less than ideal. I am looking forward to purchasing a BRZ hopefully very soon and the first mod will be Eibach pro kit.

Just got mine! Trying to decide if I am going to wait until spring to install them for winter clearance or just do it now.

Thanks for the reviews OP and others.

Yeah, I am pretty tempted to do it and get it done, but afraid of driving it in deep snow with ice chunks on the road the couple days out of the year we get big snows where I live.
