This whole thing has been discussed all over the forum, I'm aware of that. But still, I'd like to hear you people who have gone from non-sport suspension
to Eibach Pro-Kit AND kept your original shock absorbers.
I know especially me and member Ricracing are interested.
So please give it a minute or two !

Here we go:
1. Any troubles with struts?
2. Pics available?
3. Anything else I should know?
That's it, thanks!

Everyone else with thoughts is welcome too of course!

 

I had the same situation earlier this year.

I changed out my springs last summer (2007) to eibach pro's. I did not have sport suspension. The ride quality got a little bouncy, and the look its great.

I really felt that after a while, it got riduculous with the bounce. You would definitely need to buy some shocks/struts to compliment the springs. It will definitely help with the crazy bounce and rebound. Also it'll make the car feel firm (like the sports package).

I do have some pics, in my older posts. You can search in my profile and take a look.

I changed out to 20's this spring and realized I definitely needed to change out my struts. For two reasons, one, I didn't want my rims to hit the fender since the struts were too soft. And two, my struts were worn down and I needed to change it out.

Once I had my eibachs with Koni sport shocks, The ride height, I felt was too low in the front. I decided to get coilovers so that I can adjust it to the height I want.


Good luck, and I say, definitely get some performance struts before you install the Eibach pro's. It'll definitely help you in the long run and save you money instead of installing suspension twice.

Thank you. I appreciate your words and give them lot of weight while struggling through this.

 

lasted fine for about 20k miles then it started feeling a bit bouncy. upgraded to bilstein sport shocks and struts and loving it here's my experience with them: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=61405&hl=

 

Thanks I hadn't read that.
