Eibach Pro Kit or RS*R Super Down - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Phantobe · 02-27-2015, 10:01 PM

Need some recommendations, what do you guys think?

RS*R Super Down
FR: 3.16 kg/mm
RR: 4.49 kg/mm

Drop: 25mm to 30mm Front
30 to 35mm Rear

Eibach Pro Kit
FR: 3.60 kg/mm
RR: 4.90 kg/mm

Drop: 25.4mm all around

Main Function
- Daily driver w/ spirited weekend driving
- Autocross maybe 1-2 times a year

Adjustment
- Front Camber Bolts

Long Term (2 year goal or so -> chronological order)
- Going to use stock wheels/tires till I need new tires
- Upgrade wheels/tires
- LCA
- Sway bar

What do you think the better option is? I want to go slightly lower than an inch but I don't want to induce a lot of tire wear from not having LCAs in the rear. If go with the natural camber with the RSR drop it looks like I'll be running somewhere from 1.8-2.4 neg camber in the rear.

My main concern is that I think with the RSRs I'm going to be MUCH less tempted to want to get coilovers when I get a new set of wheels/tires. The RSRs seems to be the middle man between 1" & sportline drop.

Eibach, but I run the Swift Spec R

Just get eibach sportlines. The drop isnt anything drastic, and I was still getting even tire wear without LCA's. My camber was around -2.

If youre interested, I have a set for sale

Funny enough, it took me about a year to finally pull the trigger on springs (being that it was my first ever suspension modification on any car I have owned). That said, after installing the springs, I wish I did it a whole lot sooner and didn't psyche myself out for so long.

The sportlines are great, definitely low enough and still comfortable to drive around town. I live in the bay area and there are a lot of nice roads and a lot of down right shitty roads and I am able to drive fine through either. Perhaps others would disagree but they are worth it if you want a drop more than 1 inch and want to keep it really simple.

I ran the sportlines since October 2014 on my stock wheels and tries. About a month ago I recently upgraded my wheels and tires, which is what you will see in my flickr pictures.

I tend to not be able to make up my mind lol.

Were/Are you running stock LCAs with the sportlines? I want to go with RSRs because they're more or less in between & If I ever go with coils I'll probably go with the RSRs as well.

How did your stock rear tires hold up.

So far I have put maybe ~1500 miles on the comp-2 tires and they are fine, stock rear did get more wear for sure though

Superdowns...see my build thread

jflogerzi · 02-28-2015, 02:12 PM

Eibach Pro springs. With the right wheel and tire combo 1 inch is perfect plus the wheel gap is very minimal.

Phantobe · 03-02-2015, 10:11 PM

Anyone else have comments on the RSRs?

That's what I'm leaning towards but not a lot of people seem to have em'.

BrandonB · 03-03-2015, 05:19 AM

I have the rsr sprins on my car right now I love them good ride handles better than stock and a decent drop

why are you limiting yourself to these two springs?
