Title: Eibach pro or Sport ? That is the question
Post by: mk4Martin on 19 February 2008, 19:49
What are you riding at the mo , what the main difference. I just bought the pro because they cost more than the sports and i figured you get what you pay for ...  :undecided:

Eibach pro :afro:
Thay a spot on ride quality is excellent. Thay will drop the car to look the same as the anniversary model. (about 25-30mm lower)
 
Sports will drop the car -40 mm plus but you wont get the same ride quality as the pros.

If you want the car to look low IE: So the tyre is under the arches: get the sports springs or coilovers - If you can put up with the ride.  :wink:

Some people get probs when going lower than 40mm because the front ARB rubs
It seems it depends what size wheel you have tho have a look at this:

I dunno to go for just the springs or shocks and springs. or just get a set of coilovers.  :undecided:

Really depends what you want from the car TBH. If you use the car everyday (like me) then coilovers or sports springs might be to harsh.

If you dont want it too hard go for the pros - tho it wont go really low as already said.  :shocked:
