To answer the question, no they're not the same. Eibach will give you a lower drop. Most people who get the F Sport springs get rid of them cause it only lowers like 1.3". It depends in what you want. If you search you can see samples of both on here.

I saw the link and those lol like Eibach's (black). F Sport springs have always been blue. I looked an eBay and found Eibach springs for $255 plus $49 shipping to Canada. So $400 is too much.

Eibach 350 springs has a softer spring rates compared to the f-sport springs and the color of f-sport is powder coated blue.

Eibach 350 final rates
5.6kg/mm
6.3kg/mm

F-sport blue final rates
6.6kg/mm
7.0kg/mm

Both are 1" frt and .8" rr drops

This..
The Eibach Pro-Kit and the F-Sport springs are exactly the same. The F-Sport springs ARE the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs.

Which one did you buy? There was a grey one and a white one lol. I'm probably just going to leave it pretty stock. Just lower with h&r springs cause i still gotta get into my driveway for garage. I almost got an f sport exhuast but got greedy and didnt accept 750 LOL regrets now.

I bought a white one with 90k kms on it, so far pretty good no problems since bringing it home. Didn't expect mileage to be awesome but I average 6.7L/100km 90%hwy and 9.5L/100km 50/50 which matters most at the moment lol. Only thing it needed was a good alignment and new Michelin tires

Haven't been on here for a while, saw my old subscribed message to this old thread hahaha
