the only issue i have with them is not their fault...
the way the EVO's fenders are cut make it look like it has an uneven drop...
other than that, the car's handling is excellent... tracks well, and stays planted...
i'd probably buy them again, cause i really can't justify spending 1300 on an adjustable suspension that i would adjust once...

My car was lend to Eibach for the EVO springs development last April. I love the new better handle and the look of the car lowered. The only catch is I have to avoid going through deep bump from some drive way entry since the lower front-end may touch the ground.

The Eiback Prokits is what my car has. If I remember correctly it lowered the front by 1" and the rear about .5". I'll post picture of the car as soon as I take it. Get it, you'll like it (except extra careful when going through too deep drive-ways.

Why is everyone screwing with the springs and stuff? Does this car not handle good enough? Go to the track and see how it does, people go changing this and that and make it a LOT worse. Only a few shocks will make this car better and it's not a $200 set of springs, try 3-4k for triple adjustable stuff and you don't need that for the street. What this car needs is a little more power and better stopping power for the track. But I guess some people want the boulevard pimping options.

while i don't share the same enthusiasm as ryanmcd2....i agree...
springs are a cheep mod...which in the long run you will pay for...i put spring in my last car and i enjoyed the handling for about a year...then after that my struts went to hell and everything in my car started vibrating and shaking with the bumps as time goes on... if you want to lower the car dont' just get springs get a spring strut set...or coilovers (which i agree are not necessary in most cases cause how many people adjust their ride height on a daily weekly monthly or even yearly basis) but that is just what i recommend from my experience as well as alot of my buddies....
for those who already have springs.....i would just recommend getting new struts that are designed to function properly with a smaller stiffer spring.....

The Eibach springs does make the car handling better comparing to stock. I know the stock is already very good but the same argument can be made for the stock power.
Every person has his/her own prefer way to modify the car. I think the car looks better lowered in addition to the handling. I'll contact Eibach development group to see they have or recommend struts for their springs.

the ProKit is desiigned to utilize your stock struts... no need to upgrade... the stock struts have a helluva lot of damping force to begin with...
you didn't notice how stiff the car came from the factory...?
any car at factory height just looks like ***, when compared to the same car with a 1 - 1.5" drop...
