Eibach prokits, good ride?
After about 6 weeks on the Prokits I am very disappointed. Body roll has increased significantly and the car is squirrely on hard turns. Steering response is not like stock either. I am just not happy. I might try out the Roll Center kit but I just dont know. In stock form the car handled like a champ. I may have to go with a high quality set of coilovers.
I just don't want to spend money on the Roll Center kit and dampers, only to find out that not much has changed.
Well there is my honest review. For the first 2 weeks, I was ok with the springs but they just aren't cutting it anymore for what I need out of them.

^ i completely disagree. Had my springs in for 4 months and could notice improvement in cornering, less body roll, and just better responce in general. the car feels more balanced. I personally like stiffer ride, and its still comfortable enough for daily driving
Haven't taken my current car to the track yet (road course) however here is my $.02...
First couple weeks felt fine, now that it's been 3 weeks or so, I feel like the car is very soft, almost like riding on a boat, a little bouncy. Theres definitely a difference from riding on Eibachs vs Tanabe!!!! The Tanabe Springs on a couple of my past cars (EVO IX, 04' STI) always felt like an improvement, and Eibach has always felt like a downgrade on my 03' cobra, 04' g35 coupe and now the EVO X. I got these Eibach's due to looks with the intention on getting coilovers hopefully in the near future.
I ride once in a while with a co-workers EVO X with Tanabe's which I recommended haha and it rides great. I have auto-x and done plenty of days on the road course, with Tanabe's as well and was very pleased.

I have no complaints with my Eibachs so far. 5-6 days driving on them, and I think they've almost settled.
Im not sure if the quality of handling is attributed to the Eibachs, Whitelines or Both, but its a big improvement for me.

I've gotten great compliments with my eubachs including owners of coilovers. Please don't compare them to coilovers or race springs. They are meant for street use and for me they workvery well with our Evo x.
