Default Eibach Pro Kit?

What's up CL members. I'm new to this community. Just picked up my Starfire 2009 is250.

I also picked up a set of Eibach Pro Kit and was wondering if I made a good choice. Any feedback and pictures from anyone that are rolling on these springs are much appreciated.

Thanks

if you got the is250 springs then you made a gud choice. , nice drop without being too low/nice progressive handling in the corners, better than buying F-sport.

f-sport = waste of $

HnR or Tein Stechs are the nicest springs made for our cars imo

Thanks for the input fellas. I guess it won't hurt to give the Eibachs a try. If it doesn't work, perhaps I can trade or sell them to try out the Tein's.

Appreciate it.

Good choice on Eibach.

I have over 93k miles on my stock shocks and Eibach and just recently need to replace the shocks. Great drop and ride was good on the mis-matched combo until about 85k miles. If you upgraded your shocks then you're good to go (I'm upgrading to F-sport shocks with my Eibachs)

Default Pics on Eibach

I am on the Eibach Pro Kit. Not even sure if it's the 250 or 350, but I am happy with the drop, and even more so with the ride.

Great choice, i had them for about 8k and they rode really great. Not a very aggressive drop, but great for a daily driver. Plus you are going with a very reputable and well known brand.
