any updates? did your car ever settle at the full 1inch drop?

Needs more low.

If you can fit your hand in it, it's not low enough.

You rears especially. :thumbsup:

if you can fit your hand in, that means you have suspension travel and your car won't skid at the slightest bump in a corner.

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.

Anyone know if these are actually in stock/ready to ship? I've checked everywhere and most websites aren't getting these springs 'til the end of July, find it hard to believe that this guy is sitting on a nice stock of them ready to ship/sell.

Nope. 7/8" and I've put hundreds of miles on the car. I don't think it's going down any more.

KWs showed up last week, but I am waiting for D2s to arrive. I want to try the $1000 set before deciding to install or sell the $2000 set.

A similar review of the D2's would be awesome and much appreciated. Not that this one wasn't.

DarrenDriven 07-12-2012 01:40 AM

I will definitely do that.

TRD_86 07-12-2012 04:06 PM

Nice to see your eibach prokit. Nice drop compare to stock. The drive diffinitely improved over stock in handling. I currently have the sportlines. Car has good handling thru curves at high speed

Darren, great review! Thanks!

Our Eibach engineers design the springs around the factory shocks. We rate test the factory springs and shock dyno the factory shocks. A sport tuned shock should would perform better over a factory shock, of course. But the factory shocks will perform well enough for street use.

We've been shipping these since the end of last month. Some distributors may have gotten them sooner than others based on their location. We definitely have plenty of these in stock and ready to ship.

Can I get a link to an order page? Or a pm with details on how to get these, definitely want them asap.

DarrenDriven 07-12-2012 11:24 PM

Hey AJUSA, please keep the commercial replies in the commercial forum and don't hijack my review to sell product. Thanks.

We are the manufacturer and, unfortunately, we do not sell direct to retail customers. I would recommend contacting Evasive at the link below or one of the other dealers advertising in the link Darren provided above.

can you post some pics of how your car sits on the sportlines? these are the springs i'm looking to get and i want to see how low they drop the car.
