Question fsport shocks with eibach pro kit...

I am curious to see how the fsport shocks change the ride and handling feel of the 2IS when paired with the Eibach prokit. Please provide any imput you have.

Eibach Pro-kit is just another set of springs, you don't want 2 sets of springs
are you referring to the Eiback Pro-damper?
if so, I am not aware Eibach made one for us.

pretty sure no one has done this. better to get different shocks and save your self the cost of OEM.

i dont even care if they're adjustable...i dont think the fsport bilstiens are adjustable...all im trying to get is a little tighter feel and better handling out of the car. as far as i know the fsports are the only aftermarket shocks for the 2IS that i why i am looking to see if anyone has paired them with the prokit springs...if anyone knows of other shocks please enlighten me

yes ive paired up the f-sport shocks with the eibach springs. its a tad tighter overall compared to stock oem shocks. although, i wanting to get some insulators for the springs bc im getting the infamous clunk noise from the rear.

hmm...all in all do you think it is worth the price after purchase and installation? and how is the ride...about the same or a little more harsh?

fsport shocks and eibach springs will work perfect together and will feel exactly the same as fsport shocks and fsport springs... why? the fsport springs are made by eibach and are prokit springs painted blue and stamped with fsport...

of course i could be wrong... but i doubt it...

I realize that they will work fine together...as my Eibachs work just fine w/ my OEM shocks but i am curious to see if there is a noticable benefit by pairing the Eibachs with fsport shocks...as for the fsport springs being painted prokits...i really doubt that but i could be wrong

If you were in Chicago I would let you drive my car. Maybe you can contact a CA member who has F-springs and F-shocks. I don't know of anyone with Eibachs w/ F-Shocks.

yes, you are correct. i got a confirmation a while back from luis from carson toyota. the fsport springs and eibach springs are the same. they ride a bit more harsher i guess compared to stock....but the roads are semi bad here in arkansas not compared to fl roads.

If you're up in Norcal, you're welcome to ride in/try my car.
