eibach pro-kit experience

[g4i8y0t]

Guys,

Anyone here has any experience using Eibach Pro-Kit sport spring? I'm interested in this product because it only lowers your car 1.3"-1.5" and claims that you still can use your stock absorber. The Eibach website also says that their spring is progressive type, which means it improves handling while still maintains close to stock ride comfort.

I went to a Michelin shop in Manjung yesterday and they quoted RM1500 per set! :hmmmm: I was very shocked as a set of GAB sport spring costs between RM500-600 only.

So, if anyone is using Eibach Pro-Kit or has experience using it, please share it here.. Thanks a lot!

i havent used eibach before but, GAB is local and Eibach is german? i'd pay for the german technology anytime..

Yup, better pay more rather than regret later. My previous experience using GAB products is not very good. But why lah this Eibach Pro-Kit is so expensive.. :hmmmm:. Anybody knows where to get this kit at more reasonable price?

Good things dont come cheap ... but then again i have no experices with it ... but then i would have confidence buying it cause of the RND they do instead of imitating other brands :)

for the price of the eibach springs, i'd save up and top up more for a fully adjustable coilover. least u can get hi/low and soft hard setting. with the eibach springs, u cant set anything.

 

[g4i8y0t]

hmm, you're right about that. I thought eibach pro-kit is around 1k only.. what brand of adjustable you're using arrowhead?

this was the same dilemma i face last time...eventhou i dun own a honda.....yet...
better opt for GAB SS since it has hi lo soft hard function...

 

[g4i8y0t]

amran, in the end I guest you chose the hi-lo soft-hard adjustable right? Actually, I got a new quotation from a shop in Kepong. RM980 for a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs. GAB SS is around RM2k++ for a set if I'm not mistaken.

last time check my car dun have hi lo soft hard...
so just went for hwl hi lo for this ol skool car...hahahaha!

if not mistaken GAB SS is ard 2.4k..
eibach pro kit is also not bad...gud handling and quite comfy...
but diff people got diff taste...
however my place does not allow my car to be lowered...too many road bumps, holes (due to construction) and very bad road condition at where i lives currently...
luckily its on hi lo now...so i just change the setting to be abit higher...but need to be slow at road bumps to avoid those uncomfortable moment due to hard abs and spring...hahaha!

Just a word of advice, try not to get GAB. From my own personal experience their shocks last less than a year from brand new...

And I dont mean leaking, the shaft broke. Heh I dont trust them one bit anymore.

 

[mufakkir]

say no to gab..i hv bad experience using gab, used only for 1 year then leaking edi..go back to the shop, they ask me trade in and buy new set rather than service..bad after sales service..

Eibach Pro-Kit for honda civic EG/EK series code : E4015-140
the selling price on eibach official site is 150 GBP~ about MYR 700~750, by all means it should be well around 1000 mark~

you should check with the official eibach - BBS dealer in KL~

and it's original logo on the box should look like this~

Thanks a bunch dennis! Really useful info there. By the way, what's your opinion about Eeibach Pro-kit? (handling, ride comfort, absorber lifespan etc.)
