Eibach Pro Kit Springs.
 
I'm very new here. I'm looking into getting the Eibach Pro Kit Springs. I'm just wondering, would I be able to go over bumps/etc just fine??

There are are few decent bumps here. My goal was to not have to do the sideways technique :)

hmhm. u can go for Tein H Tech instead since its only drop .7" F and .8 R, i think not sure. eibach pro kit drop 1" F and R.

or dropped with eibach then 18"/19" wheels. its up to you :)

Stock ground clearance is 4.9". The pro-kits are rated at 1.0" lower, so you would be looking at 3.9" of ground clearance with those springs.

If the bumps in your area are 4" or larger, you will have some scraping.

I've had the pro kits on my car for many months and have never had any issues with speed bumps.

In addition to lowering the car you should give some consideration to paring it up with Koni struts and shocks.

While not a bad idea, the stock struts dyno'd surprisingly well from what i recall.

So I'm thinking about getting the Eibach Pro Kit with Koni Yellow Struts. Probably going to do pure soft as this car is my daily commuter. What do you think of this combo?

I'm selling my pro kit and going with a slightly more ride compiant and track-ish oriented RCE Yellow springs and Koni Yellow shocks. The pro kit increased the bounciness just a little and supposedly the RCE yellows don't, plus Konis are better as they are adjustable. Got them from brz-parts.com for much cheaper than any other retailer.

RCE yellows...but then people bitch they can.t even tell its been lowered any?:lol:

i have the pro kit installed and man what a difference in ride quality! i have not yet had an issue with any scraping other than i pulled to far into a parking and scraped but as far as going over bumps driveways etc have not had an issue. But the ridequality comfort to me is worth it.
