Prokit with stock struts works fantastic! My ride quality is firm but not harsh at all.

Does anyone else with the pro kit notice that the rear drops lower than the front? Or is it just me

No spacers. Just the springs and 18x8.5 +45 wheels.

the fronts could use maybe a 10-15mm spacer if you want to bring them out flush a little more -- the rears are fine. I am ok without them though.

It very much appears so on many of those that have posted up on this thread... but PMok's setup doesn't appear to have the same issue. What gives?!

Makes me paranoid. I feel as if I installed it incorrectly. But if everyone else's looks that it must be right, right? Lol

It's damn near impossible to incorrectly seat the springs and have it drive normally (aka don't worry), so my guess is still as good as anyone else's!

I received my pro plus kit today (the kit that includes sway bars), and there were no bump stops or rear dust gators. Aren't these normally included in the pro kit? The box was still sealed with factory tape, no evidence of ever being opened.

For those of you with the Eibach Pro kit on stock struts, how is the ride quality? My BRZ is my DD.

I like them except for high speed bumps on the highway. But I don´t remember liking them on stock springs neither.
