97 Acura 3.0cl
Strength:
great cornering ability, better stability, affordable price, great appearance, good warranty
Weakness:
Be willing to sacrifice better ride quality for a more sportier feel. These springs are the best!! My kit was for a 1.4" drop and it improved the appearance to a more sportier look. The appearance and ride quality can''t be beat by any other spring on the market today. For under $250, the pro kit is definitely a sound investment.Since the switch from stock springs I have gained great cornering ability and overall ride quality.I would reccomend these springs to anyone that wants performance and appearance for a low price!

Strength:
Great handling, improved appearance.
Weakness:
Lost ride comfort, bouncy. It does not lower my car much, only 1.2". Handling is improved a lot especially hard cornering and high speed cruising. I''m using this with my OE Tokico shocks. It is a little bit bouncy when going over speed bumps and uneven highway. Drive slow when going over speed bumps. Ride comfort is sacrificed. Compare to OE springs, it is quite stiff.

Strength:
Ride quality, performance improvement, looks
Weakness:
Alignment problems - camber I''ve been using these springs for over three years on my 1996 328is. The ride is actually better than stock, even with the 17" rims, and the look is much better. The only disadvantage is that they screw up your camber somewhat (not adjustable on a BMW) and cause uneven tire wear. I would recommend a camber kit, or just flip your tires every once in a while...

Strength:
car look more agressive once dropped, You get everything Eibach's promises with their pro-kit, at least with a gm L or J body.
Weakness:
A little bit pricey (twice as stock springs), even more if you get them in a speed shop (50$ more than in canadian tire) My Stock suspension is not sport at all so it's a large improvement, however, I found that it improve the top-of-the-line trims too, (wich is beretta GTZ). I was suposed to drop 1 inch and it does. the ride is just OK, I mean the price to pay to have good handling is not that much in confort. the car is a lot more stable, and do not get out-of-balance when I hit a bump in a high-speed curve, like it was in stock form. the monroe sensatrac aren't stiff enough to get all the springs potential in cornering, but it's very good Similar Products Used: stock Fe1 suspension: handling does not compare in anyway |

2001 Oldsmobile Alero
Strength:
Better Handling, not to rugged of a ride
Weakness:
Not low enough! Immediately Alero owners will realize their cars had already sat to high and that the 1.4" was not bad, but not great. Visually it was better than before but it could have been lower. Ride quality was not that bad, it is a little bouncy with the stock struts, but over all the performance gains are worth it. Similar Products Used: Stock - No comparison |

92 Integra GS-R
Strength:
Firmer than stock but still a very supple ride. I don't race or autocross so for daily driving these springs matched the ticket.
Weakness:
I wish they were a tad bit more lower but you can't have your cake and eat it too I guess. Nice lowered stance and has improved handling exponentially in my vehicle. An extra bonus is less "squat" leading me to feel I accelerate quicker which I did not think would happen. Extremely easy to install, my monkey could do it and I didn't need a spring compressor. Just eyewear and a solid wall (don't try this at home kids unless you know what you are doing :) Similar Products Used: To stock springs with 140k on it they are working wonders. I'm very happy with it. |

94 Ford T-Bird LX V-8
Strength:
I like to drive hard and my Bird can take it well. When I added the springs, the drop was about 2 inches all around, and I can now drive it harder than before. Thet support the weight of a big car well. The height improved the look greatly. The lowed stance gave it a very impressive aggresive look. A definite head turner.
Weakness:
They are a but soft for me. I get a lot of drop over speed bumps. I would recommend these springs to anyone that wants to change the appearance of thir ride and improve the handling. Similar Products Used: Stock...no comparison |

Weakness:
Harsher ride, can't deal with that? don't get'em. Coupled w/ some Bilstein Sport monotube gas shocks, my suspension was complete. Great combination with pretty much any good after-market shock. Similar Products Used: OEM bimmer stuff... compare?? not even close. |

2001 Ford Mustang
Strength:
Improved handling dramaticaly. The car feels much safer, specially when cornering at high speeds. But most importantly, they made the car look WAY better =). Mustangs sit way too high with stock springs. These springs gave it the perfect drop. Its not slammed at all, but the gap between the tires and the car is gone.
Weakness:
The driver side of the car sits lower than the passenger side. Its barely noticable, but I can tell the difference. Other Mustang owners says they have the same problem, no matter what springs they use. Oh well, I guess its the car's problem, not the springs. I have only experienced these springs on my car, a 2001 Mustang which has 17x9 wheels with 245 ZR45 front and 285 ZR40 rear tires. So I can only HIGHLY recommend you get these springs for this kind of car and wheel/tire setup. The difference in appearance is like the difference between night and day. Your stang will look and handle AWESOME. I think these springs give the perfect drop for this car. So please do yourself a favor and make your stang look and handle like a sports car, not a 4x4 truck =).
