Review on Eibach Pro's + Tokico HP's

Sup guys. I'd like to thank everyone on the forums for helping me on making my decisions with their pictures and input so.... The install took about 5 hours total (I had some problems with the fronts ><), but all in all, the drop is surprisingly lower than I thought. The tokico HP's with the spring combo makes the ride twice as stiff as stock (I would say) and it seems like I feel a lot of the imperfections in the rode now. The combo does flatten out the rode and improves handling by a huge amount but.... All in all, I wish I had extra money to get the tokico D's, but I guess these as an alternative were not all that bad... but enough talk here are some pics... Final rating out of 10 I give this combo around a 7/10.


Front Before

Front After

Angled View, garage is small so I couldn't get a good side view

And a quick side view, but these are after a day of installation so I'm probably going to pick up another 1/8 of inch over the next 3 weeks before my alignment.

That's it..

Don't confuse body roll or steering feel with any scientific measurement of handling [slalom time or skidpad] at best lowering springs [lower center of gravity] can reduce the side to side weight transfer to tires by a few percent.
Shocks just change the time delay of weight transfer.

well, okay then, I guess I'll retract my comment about increased handling. Let's just say the body roll was cut by a huge amount.
