Eibach ProKit on your MSP?

[onequickmsp]

Hey guys,
I'm interested in getting a set of Eibach ProKit springs for my MSP. I've done my research and I'm only after something that will lower my ride and will still have the comfort of stock springs. I was told that the ProKit is what I want. I've done a few searches on this forum and I can't seem to find pics of people using the ProKit.

So, if you have em, show em! LoL!!

Please post your pics if you have ProKit springs on your MSP.

Thanks!!

don't mess with the stock setup Claudio IMHO

personally i really wish i could get springs just like the stock RBs, but lowering down the front about an inch or so. The thing with the prokit is, IIRC, they are all progressive, front and rear, vs the linear springs that it comes with stock. Progressive springs aren't as good for turn-in or transitions, which for me is one of my favorite parts of the MSP handling.

Hmm...
See what irritates me is that the back end, I can't even get one finger between the wheel and the wheel well. The front I can get at least 3 fingers in. It looks kinda weird from the side.

get a set of full coilovers... you can adjust it to whatever height you want.

Thanks Chops. I can always count on you to get info. I think I'll just leave it alone.

i personally like the stock suspension myself. but of course, getting a set of full coilovers will be better than just lowering springs.

I have to agree with some others here...unless you have your heart set on getting another .75" lowered, the stock MSP setup is very nice. I wouldn't mess with it much.

My car is on the pro-kit and its not bad. The front is like 1 finger gap, the rear is almost 3 fingers. Its got a slight rake but other than that it handles great. I dont know how it compares to stock since my car already had the eibach when i bought it. My only complaints are that it needs to be a little stiffer and more level front to back.

^ Very wingless. Very big brakes. Very nice.

Does anyone know if the Tien lowering springs are progressive or linear?

I'm glad you mentioned about the turn-in, as I autocross and was actually thinking of getting the pro-kit. I figured, stick with Eibach since that's what they put on MSP. What springs do you recommend for someone who wants to maintain the same handling but lower the car a little bit?

Are those 18's?

Check my sig. The springs hadn't totally settled in that picture. The back came down about another 1/4".

Yes.
