I've got the Eibach Pro-kit, they are really nice because it's a progressive spring so just riding along you won't notice a huge difference in ride quality, as you go around a corner they get progressively stiffer. About a 1 inch drop all around which is about a perfect drop, that's about where I have my flex dropped to now. Any lower and you're scrapping on everything. I would let them go for about 175 shipped. These are heavy so I would think shipping is going to be about 25-40 dollars so I think this is a fair price

They also have a million mile warranty, so I don't think the fact that I put about 10,000 miles on them is going to affect them.

GS400RcrX offered you a set for $250. they dont make these springs anymore and that price is reasonable. i really doubt you're going to be able to find what you are looking for for less then that. like the other guy said, shipping is going to be a lot for an item like this, which means you're probably actually getting the springs for around $200. you're passing on a good deal especially since its exactly what you want.

I would grab them before my guy comes to pick them up Monday. He hasn't paid me yet, so my set is still available.

Edited by me for being a douchebag.





I've seen MANY really, really good deals on here. I am looking for one of those deals. While I don't deny the prices of these products are fair - I'm looking for a great deal.

I'm seeing Teins, Eibachs and Tanabe's @ $100-$140. I'm seeing L-Tuned for sub $200 as well as Espelir's...

I'm just looking for a great deal from someone who needs to unload something. I've got a couple lines on things here and elsewhere but I'm keeping this thread on my radar most certainly.

I appreciate the help guys - very much.

Yep, I'm finding Tanabe NF/DF and KYB or Bilstein combos from $350-$500 depending on condition, miles etc.

L-tuned are made by Eibach, but L-tuned have a little less drop.

I picked up some Bilsteins with Tanabe NF's from chienchien.

Thanks though!


Looking for some 15mm rear spacers with lugs/nuts.
