Strength:
Great ride height, not too low, just right for me.
Weakness:
Stock struts couldn't cut it. I love my Tegs stance with these springs. The Sportlines would have been too much for me. Unfortunately (well at the time) I had to change my struts the following weekend. The Pros and my Tokico Illuminas made for a perfect team. The ride is much more stable than before, is barely affected by accelaration or brake dive. Similar Products Used: Stock, no comparision. |

Great look on the car it now sits just right. I can now keep my eyes on whats in front of me when I am hard on the brakes, the nose barely moves. I gave my car much better handling power for the corners.
Weakness:
The ride is not stock and is stiffer than maybe what I wanted but the car looks and handles great. I will get use to it. I would recommend this springs to anyone that wants a much better handling car without to much loss to ride quality. Similar Products Used: None |

Great ride.
Weakness:
Not enought drop!!! But it's the only springs that I can put on my MAZDA. ( I like these springs exept for the thing that all my friends didn't have idea that I have drop my car. 1,3'' is defenitively not enought for an aggresive look. Similar Products Used: Stock. I had very appreciate the Eibach!! |

Strength:
Excellent handling, ride quarlity very close to stock, not bouncy nor choppy at all, removal of the visual wheel gap and no problems with the stock shocks at all so far.
Weakness:
None I've got nothing more to say, just buy these springs and you'll never regret, although it seems expensive, but definitely worth it. Similar Products Used: Stock springs |

Strength:
Ride quality is very close to stock. Decent drop, doesn't require a chamber kit.
Weakness:
My splash guards are scratching when I try to take a turn too fast. A lot better than my OBX coilovers. In terms of comfort and ride quality. Easy install with AGX shocks/struts. Similar Products Used: Stock springs. |

Strength:
noticeable handling improvement, lower sleeker car look
Weakness:
Stiff ride, will need aftermarket performance shocks (more $$ to spend), speed bumps are your cat's mortal enemy Installation for the rears on fbodys are a piece of cake. Jack the rear and let the axle hang. The fronts are another story. If you do it yourself, rent a spring compressor. Better yet, save some time and remove the spring/shock assembly and take it along with the eibachs to a tire store and pay them to remove and replace the springs. Then reinstall the assembly at home. Also highly recommend you purchase some bilsteins or koni shocks as the stock shocks are not designed to handle the higher spring rates of the eibach. Once your done, get a front alignment. I also installed bilsteins, subframe connectors, 1LE sway bars, polyu bushings, panhard rod and lower control arms afterwards. My car dropped about 1.25-1.75". That's alot for the fbody. Now I must be very cautious over speedbumps and steep driveways because the cat will rub. I can't say whether the springs alone will do wonders for you. It would certainly help in the twisties but the springs are a better combination with other suspension mods. Similar Products Used: WS6 springs |

Strength:
Sleeker, lower look, improved handling- lower center of gravity.
Weakness:
speed bumps are your mortal enemy now, stiff ride, tire rub. Installation on the fronts was a major PITA as the fbody has a front shock/spring assembly. Had to rent a spring compressor and compressing the springs for removal is kind of scary. Recommend that your remove the entire assembly and take it to a tire/shock automative place to remove the old and install the new eibachs. Rear eibach install was a piece of cake. Before and after height measurements resulted in a 1.25-1.5" drop all around. That's a significant drop for the fbody. Be careful with speed bumps and pulling into steep drive ways...you will smack the crap out of your cat/ypipe. Similar Products Used: WS6 springs |

Strength:
Great performance, just like everyone else has said. Ride quality is firm, but not bouncy or overly-stiff. These are the perfect performance springs out there. Keep in mind that they are more for 'performance' than 'lowering'...
Weakness:
Well, after a while with these, I didn't think they made my car low enough. To the untrained eye, you couldn't even tell that I lowered it. So since then, I dropped these to the lowest perches on my Koni adjustable shocks (very nice, btw), which gives me more of a 2" drop. Well overall I'm very happy with the prokits. I upgraded my shocks at the same time, so I never felt how they perform with the OEM shocks. I would recommend either Koni sports or Bilstein HD shocks to be used with these. The ride is excellent. For those of you who are wondering if these will lower your car enough...they just might not. I pondered the same thing, and just took a chance. Luckily I had the option of lowering it more with adjustable shocks. Otherwise, I would have switched to the Eibach sportlines by now. Similar Products Used: none, besides stock springs. I like these much more, of course. |
