Eibach Sport-System or Eibach Pro-Street-S?
« on: 16 October 2008, 20:54 »
Don't know what exactly is the practical difference between:

Eibach Sport-System (=Sportline springs + Pro Damper)

Eibach Pro-Street-S coilovers

 :undecided:

With coilover system I can lower up to 65mm on each axle; with Sport-System I can lower 20-25mm on the front, 20mm on the back axle, according to Eibach webpage (www.eibach.de). That is the only difference I know of, what are other significant differences, in terms of handling for example?

I will also buy Eibach Anti-Roll kit and 12mm spacers for back axle, independent of the which of the above I buy.

Can anyone please enlighten me?  :embarassed:

The coilovers mean you can adjust the ride to exactly where you want, with the springs and dampers of the sport system you get what your given.
I've used both of these set-ups and if I had to choose again I would go the pro-street-S coilovers. They really are good for the money, ask Hurdy he is using them at the minute

Gaz is right, I'm rolling on them at the moment.

The Pro street coilovers are a great piece of kit. :cool:

I'd definitely recommend them over the fixed sport system. :smiley:

If I buy Pro-Street-S, do I need to buy springs also (sportline)?  :embarassed:
