I am thinking of installing the Pro-kit along with a set of 17" rims (still undecided which one).

Question is , if i install the pro-kit springs without changing my stock shocks, will they have shorter life or will they be fine? What else would i need to change if i install the springs? Or is it safe just go to ahead and install the pro-kit springs by itself?

thanks,

I have ground control coilovers, but they use Eibach springs. I didn't change out any of my struts, but I know it's recommended. I can't exactly tell you which shocks an struts to get because I'm still trying to figure that one out myself. If anybody out there can help...please do!!

so the things that u need to do when dropping is.. springs, shocks, and struts? or coilovers and struts?

lets say i was to change just springs and something else.. what would be top priority.. shocks or struts?

we don't have any shocks.

Anyway, just do the springs for now. Then save $50 a month and by the time you save up the $$, it will be time to replace the struts.

By the way, I have some Eibach's for sell $150 plus shipping. PM me if you are interested.

If I were you noodles, I'd go for it. The $50 a month is a pretty good idea, by the time struts do come out for our cars you'd probably have more that enough money.

Plan on your struts being blown in 3 - 6 months. If you put Eibachs on with brand new stock struts, you might get a year or so.

comparing the pro5 springs and the eibach springs, i would
say the struts would probably last about 20k miles (my guess)
.

so far 2300miles and no problems at all.
