Looks good! Are these the same springs you had installed (from Eibach) from a while back...or are these newer ones?

PRO-KIT PERFORMANCE SPRINGS (SET OF 4 SPRINGS)

# 20120.140



Front: 1.0 in
Rear: 0.5 in

PRO-KIT Performance Springs (Set of 4 Springs)
#1 Choice of Automotive Enthusiasts Worldwide!
High Performance Handling and Aggressive Good Looks
Lower Center of Gravity
Stop Quicker, Corner Faster and get Better MPG!*
Progressive Spring Design for Excellent Ride Quality
Million-Mile Warranty
The Eibach PRO-KIT is the perfect answer for most frequently-driven street cars. It's our legendary sport spring system that dramatically improves both a vehicle's performance and appearance.

PRO-KIT precisely lowers your car's center of gravity, reducing squat during acceleration, body roll in corners and excessive nose-dive under braking. When combined with Plus-1 or Plus-2 wheels and tires, the Eibach PRO-KIT is the finishing touch to a winning recipe for performance. PRO-KIT also reduces excessive fender-well clearance, making your car look just as hot as it performs.

Every Eibach PRO-KIT is designed and tested by our suspension engineers and performance driving professionals to deliver aggressive good looks and high performance handling, without ever compromising safety or ride quality. By using our proprietary, progressive spring design, PRO-KIT Performance Springs provide the ultimate balance to take your passion for driving to a whole new level.

* Your results may vary. As we have learned from racing and independent testing has proved - lowering your car or truck's ride height also improves your aerodynamic efficiency by forcing more air over the car and less underneath (where most of the drag is found on any vehicle), resulting in higher top speeds on the track and better MPG on the highway.

HAHAHA I can only imagine!! Reminds me of a time my buddy with a Trans Am (LS1, loud as hell) thought it would be cool to do a ricer fly by past me and another friend... until he got past and found out the hard way his passenger T-Top wasnt locked down


VERY COOL! Sounds and looks awesome but without looking at the site I cant imagine the stickers staying on the wheel without a perfectly unobstructed, smooth surface like the side of a hoosier/continental race tire. Our tires have all that molded design crap on the sidewalls I would imagine it being a stickers worse nightmare.

My 1st post

I've recently bought a white 1M and we just happen to be Eibach dealers here in the UK.

So it would be rude not to have a set fitted and I don't like being rude...

Springs should be delivered in next day or two so once they are on I will get some pictures up on here.

Only had the car for 1 week and fitted black kidney grills, have a full Milltek exhaust on the way (we're also a Milltek dealer which helps) and going to fit some Michelin Pilot Super Sports as the original rear Pilot Sport 2's are down to 2mm!

Cheers, Chris
