ACCORD V6 COUPE
Strength:
LOOKS
Weakness:
LOOSNESS SOUND ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. BACK IS LOWER THAN THE FRONT AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. LOOKS GOOD BUT WHEN YOU PAY OVER $25K FOR A CAR YOU DON'T WANT TO FEEL ANY LOOSNESS. DEBATING ON TAKING THEM OFF AND GOING BACK WITH STOCK!!! I'M GOING TO GET IT CHECKED OVER BY ANOTHER MECHANIC BEING THAT IT IS A NEWER CAR AND MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. |

Mustang Cobra Convertible
Strength:
Removes body roll, very good cornering, good track springs...car looks like a million bucks!!!
Weakness:
Very bouncy on streets - Way too stiff for convertibles, it inceases body flex!! With the sportline I have installed kni's adjustable....I was in for a suprise....it is a very good track setup, very bouncy for street driving. I must admit that the car looks great 2.0in front drop and 1.6 rear drop... |

Accord
Strength:
great handling, good at cornering. Doesn't sway that much.
Weakness:
a little bouncy makes a little noise once in awhile Improves handling & especially cornering way better than stock. A little bouncy but nice ride quality except at bumps. Rear looks lower than front, I guess cause of the fender illusion. It's not exactly 1.7 & 1.8 drop it's actually 2". Makes a little noise once in awhile. Similar Products Used: stock, aerospeed coilover (piece of crap!!!) |

1990 VW Jetta
Strength:
removes fender gap and maintains a very nice ride for the street.
Weakness:
Too soft for aggressive driving...a set of Bilstein's might fix that though. The front end tends to get floaty when pushy the car on hard twisty roads, I guess thats the trade off for nearly stock ride quality. This is my 3rd, not including factory, suspension set up and so far its my favorite. Removes 4x4 fender gap will not lowering teh car too much to maintain good handling, the pro kit would be better for handling on a VW as it'll put the a-arms closer to parallel. I'm using the Eibach's with Boge Turbo gas shocks and struts. Similar Products Used: Spax 60/60...very mushy spring, plus it lowers the A2 chassis too far. FK 60/40...very stiff and lowers the A2 chassis too far |

Strength:
atleast you wont feel all the little cracks on the road.
Weakness:
little bouncy for springs. after awhile ride dropped conderably in the front, about 2in instead if normal 1.7in. tucking alittle on 15's with 50 series tires. not what i expected from springs. a little bouncy but not that much increased road noise and feel. Similar Products Used: skunk2 coilovers what tokico illuminas. damn this is a good setup for autox-ing. the stiff springs of the skunk2s and the dampening abilities of the illuminas make a good combo. i would say the best b |

91 CRX Si
Strength:
Accelaration, Braking, Ride Height, cornering ON SMOOTH ROADS
Weakness:
loss of traction on roads with even small bumps. After Installed the Height was exactly what I was looking for but when I took it for a drive the car was WAY to stiff. These are not springs to use on the street!! I have KYB AGX shocks on the softest setting and they are still to stiff!! I had to actually drive slower than before because the car would lift up going over bumps making me lose traction. This is a great spring for track strip or drag. I noticed better acclaration and braking. Never bottoms out which would be because they are so stiff. Go with Eibach Pro-kits much better ride quality, faster and stable on normal roads.

Strength:
Looks Improve handling Only $150
Weakness:
Questionable quality (Car ride is uneven) Torn Cv joints after less than a year Stiff Ride Have had the springs on my car for over 2 years now and although they look great and improve handling they caused a lot of problems with my car. First of all I couldn't fit the 16 or 17" tires and rims on my car or else they would rub. Second I had to replace my two front cv joints because they were worn out within the first year (These were new joints). Also my car sits uneven on the rear wheels as the left side of my car is nearly 1" lower than the right side...(seriously)..and of course the ride is extremely stiff which I guess is to be expected...... I was also told that my steering rack was partially torn which I'm sure had something to do with the springs as well. Similar Products Used: stock |

02 RsxS
Strength:
Perfect ride height on the RSX. Looks like BmW wheel gap. Gives it the almost slammed look.
Weakness:
Do it yourself instructions as far as removing/leaving bump stops and washers sucked. First time installed "per eibach instructions" made the car ride horrible. Called Eibach and they gave me the "updated ones" probably because the car was new and apologized for the incovenience. Any trouble call the 800 and they are happy to help. Sits and rides well with stock rims/tires. Good Overall Product Similar Products Used: stock |
