Default Eibach Pro-Kit Springs... Anyone else considering?

So I have decided I want to do a conservative drop, and I am thinking about getting the Eibach Pro-Kit. Has anyone else looked into these, or better yet, already have them?

If not, what other brands did you prefer over these and why?


I have always known of Eibach as producing quality parts, but Ive never had any on my own vehicles. What I like about this particular product is...

-Only 1.00" drop, will still survive Indiana roads while looking good
-Should be okay for stock struts
-Claimed to keep a comfortable ride, slightly sportier than stock

Here is a link to the product:
Eibach Springs : Pro-Kit (Step 1)

Some other brands I have looked at are the Swift springs and T1R, which also look okay. I am not sure how the prices compare to the Eibachs $272 list.

Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated

That looks amazing

I have heard similar reviews from others who have owned these springs, which is what has drawn me to them.

I, too am still debating where I would get them installed, or if I want to try doing it myself and risk screwing something up lol. I have installed coilovers before, but this suspension seems different than what I am used to.

Eibach makes great parts. I had a 3" Toytec adjustable coilover lift on my FJ Cruiser. it had Eibach springs. I off roaded frequently and never had a problem. And they took a beating.

I've not owned their lowering springs, but I'd assume that they are just as good as their lift springs.

The T1R S is also a nice spring/drop.

Coming from a guy I asked about springs, works at a shop. he wrote me

:Eibach lists a Prokit spring part 4085.140 with a 1.0" drop front and rear. They also list a more aggressive 4.8540 sportline spring that is in development.
