False. Eibach supplies both the MR and the FQ400 springs.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit on my GSR. Love the look and ride.

15k though and they killed the front KYB struts Going to put them on some MR Bilsteins and see if they are any better in both performance and longevity.

I have these springs and the ride has more pronounced bounce now on uneven roads. Did you have the alignment done?

Yes I have, and that is exactly what I am experiencing. I don't feel as confident taking hard turns on uneven pavement now. Perhaps I'll try the Eibach's in the future.

Anyone with Eibach's experience anything similar with the bounce?

Honestly, I'm really not a fan of eibachs. They are pretty harsh and lower the car way too much for DD. My spec r's are pretty predictable minus the bounce and on normal roads they ride exactly like stock springs. Does anyone know what eibach springs are on FQ400?

How are Eibach springs harsh? That is a complaint I've never heard from the numerous people I've helped install them for.

I suspect the Prokits are what's on the FQ400 since the drop looks identical.

I currently have the swift sport on my X and they're awesome; I had the GTWorx on my Evo 8 and liked those too.
