should i get eibach sprigs pro kit, i can get a great deal, but is the ride going to be rough or really bouncy. im thinking of getting them so give me some suggestions. thanks

 

what kinda of z do u have a4 m6? fyi you should list mods and tranny type in sig. , my buddy has a 95 z and he had the sportline kit on it but it was way too low and really bumpy, he switched to pro kit and it was al ot better, he also has an adjustable pan hard rod and hes running 17x9.5" wheels. it rides about the same as stock springs just a little softer IMO hope i helped

 

i have the pro kit and it rides pretty good. i dont know how people get around with the sportlines. i hit my y pipe, crossmember and cutout on every speed bump and everything else.

 

i have an eibach kit on my car, not sure which, you feel the bumps and bottom out on speed bumps but at 100+ mph the car handles great. all in all, i wouldn't trade them.

 

i had the eibach pro kit on my first 97 z28, they are the best springs for 92-02 f-bodys in my eyes, they are on the purchase list for my currrent 97

I have the pro kit on my 96Z. I first installed them with a new set of OEM shocks. That was a big mistake as the handling was completely unacceptable. I then put on re-valved Bilstien shocks and now the ride is much better. So the lesson I learned was that the shocks are the most important factor. If I were to do it all over again I probably would not go with the pro kit. The pro kit has too high of a spring rate and needs a lot of shock to control them. This makes them bouncy without a stout shock but does almost eliminate body roll and brake dive. I would find something with less spring rate if possible the pro kit is just excessive for a forth gen, especially the LT1 car springs. I suggest that you call Sam Straino http://www.stranoparts.com/index.php 800-729-1831. Call him up, he is the forth gen suspension guru. Doing it right the first time will save you time and money.

how are your jethot LT's with the pro kit installed?

 

Not good. I don't think the car could be daily driven with pro kit and jethot LT's. I'm sure some manage but around here it wouldn't work out well. I no longer daily drive mine and when I do drive it I find myself pre-planing the trip trying to think of any problems such as speed bumps that may be encountered. The ground clearance is minimal. I love the look and the handling of my setup but am starting to wonder if it is worth it. I want to start doing some more serious power mods and realize that stiff lowering spring are not going to be very beneficial towards launching the car. Basically I would say that LT's and pro kits should not be combined on a daily driver.

the pro-kit springs are progressive rate springs, they do firm up the ride a bit but its not objectionable unless you want Lincoln Town Car ride quality. Most of the street prepared autocross f-cars have all chosen the pro-kit springs for their handling. they work great with the Bilstien shocks as well.

And the guy who hits speed bumps at 100.......what ARE you thinking..???
