spring/shock question

[Siajoon]

i currently have eibach pro and it is a 1.2 drop all around and i am planning on getting koni shocks first question is, some people say that with the eibach pro/konie combo it lowers to about 1.5 is this correct? and which one should i get the fsd or the yellows??

Shocks don't affect ride height, springs do.


From the research i've done, seems that most people recommend running the fsd's with the eibach pros.

ah i see, im confused in which direction i should go, yellows or fsd:/

depends.. if you only use your car as a DD then FSD would be ok.. I heard they ride like OE but if you want adjustable then get the yellows. I just got the eibach and FSDs cause I wanted a comfortable ride since I only used it as a DD.....

well it is my DD but i like the bumpy stiff feeling..., how does that setup feel for you... stock suspension vs eibach/koni setup?

From what I've read, people typically pair the FSD with the Pro-Kit springs. The Koni Sports (Yellows) are typically paired with the H&R Sports or a similarly stiff spring. The FSD is meant to work with a near-stock spring rate (the Eibach Pro-Kit is barely stiffer than stock).

i actually feel a big difference in stiffness compared to stock especially when they settled completely

If you like bumpy/stiff....go with the yellow. You can adjust them as firm as you want.

Nobody ever seems to mention the Eibach struts and shocks combined with the Eibach Pro-kit springs. I would think that the two would have been developed to work really well together, yet everyone tends to focus on the Koni FSD's or Yellows.

If anyone has a full Eibach setup it would be interesting to hear your review, as I am leaning more toward that lineup for street use only. Thanks

FSD's if you want to install and forget. Yellows if you want some adjustments and like to tinker with the setting a bit.
