Model Reviewed: 1996 Integra RS

Strength:

-Car rides better! Like a BMW... Amazing... maybe my stock springs were worn...
-Car corners as expected. Incredible.
-Ride height changed; no more ugly gap, but not scraping pavement. This is important if you're over 24 or so and need to drive the car everyday.

Weakness:

Tough to install without a lift and a buddy with tools and a spring compressor.

I paid $225 for the springs, and $60 to the guy who helped me out. From the minute that I backed the car out of the garage, I was enthralled by the handling; just driving 200 feet or so up the street, I knew that I had a decent handling auto under my rear end. The car now is very neutral; very predictable, no crazy oversteer of days past. This product is absolutely the best thing to happen to automobile enthusiasts since gasoline.
BUY THEM. THEY ARE THE BEST DOLLAR VERSUS RESULT PART FOR YOUR CAR.
P.S I mentioned that they ride WAY better than stock... I'm not crazy!

Strength:

The handling has IMMENSELY improved since adding this kit! It feels more like a sport sedan than an economy mid-size.

Weakness:

Awww. Now I can't toss salads in the back seat by taking a corner too fast.

My kit cost about $200 installed. For that little cost, I wish I had done it when I first bought the car. Anyone who is sick of saggy springs, get these. You will never regret it.

Strength:

About 1" drop, improved handling, improved appearance of car.

Weakness:

Rides a bit harder.

Paid $225 for them. Definitely recommend it if you want better handling. If you don't want to change the ride quality of the car, DON'T have the Eibach's installed.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the springs. It doesn't lower the car too much. No trouble with speed bumps or driveways. These are progressive springs; at lower speeds springs are a little more forgiving, will tighten up at higher speeds.

Model Reviewed: 1995 Mazda Millenia L

Strength:

Handling and looks are best points. The springs got rid of the ugly wheel/fender gap that was there after my +1 tire /wheel upgrade.

Weakness:

It is going to be expensive to put these on this model car. If you drive hard a lot, your struts will wear out faster with OE struts so I am told.

I most definitely would recommend to anyone. My car is FWD and would understeer if pushed hard. Now the car is very neutral to the limit. If the limit is crossed, now I have oversteer which is much more controllable. I immediately went out and bought a second set for my Nissan.
I got my set online from CarParts.com. I got a 33% discount after becoming a member. Final cost of springs was $207.

Model Reviewed: '93 BMW 525i

Strength:

The Eibach springs gave me exactly what I was looking for in my BMW. Being it is a four door midsized sedan, making it so low as to be able to push a beer can down the street seemed rediculous. So I looked to Eibach. The specs called for a 30mm drop. (1.5") The front were actually closer to 35mm, but the ride remained close to stock. About 15% stiffer according to the Buttometer. Handling much improved. Sometimes noisy over speed bumps. Powder coating seems strong. Does not unseat from the spring mounts when lifting up the front or rear end. Was a perfect complement with the Eibach adjustable swaybars.

Weakness:

No weaknesses. Would like to see a version with slightly less spring rate. Keep in mind this is a four door sedan. Although BMW are considered a sport sedan, I prefer to keep it a little closer to luxury.

I paid for the springs as part of a Sach suspension kit. But I understand the going retail is $225-$245. I would recommend the springs to anyone who uses their car for dual purpose. Hauling family and groceries and taking the corners like you were driving a sports car.

Model Reviewed: 99 Honda Prelude Type SH

Strength:

Eibach makes the best springs out there. It's rare that I ever hear anything negative about these springs, although it is commonplace to hear groans and moans about Eibach's competitors, such as Neuspeed, Suspension Techniques and the like. Lowered the car a little over an inch as promised (my car will drag itself on the ground if lowered anymore... the car is THAT low in stock form) and firmed up the ride. Works well in conjunction with upgraded anti-sway bars.

No comment on price. Yes, I would definitely recommend it for Gen5 Prelude owners and Eibach Sportline springs for Integra and Accord owners. I dropped my girlfriend's 99 Civic Si with the Prokit and it's looking pretty sweet. She's very happy with the upgraded looks and performance as well.

Strength:

Lowers the car just enough so your parents don't piss on you, good cornering ability.

Weakness:

My stocks felt the same really... Eibachs jus lowered it.
WAY PRICEY

Well... all in all.. a fair spring. People who do not want to go extreme with lowering and getting struts and performance shocks should go with Eibach Pro's. Why? Cuz any more lowering would SCREW your bushings and alignments. Some say they hear clunkin noises when going over bumps... well thats cuz the springs are hitting agains't each other creating that noise. Solve it by wrapping a silicon tube around the top part of the shock. 3 credits from me.

Model Reviewed: 1995 Fiat Tipo

Strength:

Looks, ride improvement

Weakness:

Price

It has met all my expectations. The car is much firmer, corners a lot better and the comfort in rough roads is just a little worse. The slalon handling is superb. I have about 80kg (160lb) of stereo equipment and sub boxes in the trunk, but the car rear remained leveled with the front with the new springs. The progressive rate helped to firm the rear with the added weight. The lowered look (30mm lowering) is just perfect with my new +1 wheels and tires (205/50-15), without that over-lowered unsprung look.

I had another car wich I had cut the springs, and it doesn´t compare. Although the lower center of gravity of the other car reduced the roll, the car bounced a lot, and quickly weared the shocks and suspension bushings.

Model Reviewed: 91 acura integra

Strength:

100% improvement over factory springs. Good balance between ride quality and minimizing body roll/lean in the turns. Eibach quality and engineering behind its products. Nice powder coat. Great value overall.

Weakness:

I notice a "clunking" noise in the rear when going over bumps and railroad tracks. Not 100% sure the springs are the source of the noise.

The Integra was a lot more fun to drive after replacing the factory parts with the Eibach Pro Kit, Tokico shocks, and a set of Yokohama AVS Intermediate tires. I stayed with the factory alloys and tire size. Even though the car came down approximately 3/4 of an inch, it is hard to spot the after-market improvements. Which is a good thing since I do not want to be perceived as an over-aged riceboy. Handling is very predictable and well within the comfort zone when tossing the Integra into the turns.
