Eibachs & KYB's HELP!!!!!
Wednesday, August 31, 2005 5:06 PM
I'm supposed to be purchasing an Eibach pro kit VERY soon, (like tomorrow). So let me get this straight now, will they suck on KYB g2 struts? From what I've read KYB's are only built to handle a 1.5 drop or less.... The Pro Kit offers I think between 1.5 or 1.7 inch drop (correct me if I'm wrong). Would I be okay since they are close or would it be a waste of money b/c the shocks would blow very soon. I need help ASAP!!!!!

The Pro-Kit is 1.4". AGX are said to be the perfect set-up to use with them.

You're right!! I just read the FAQ.... (oops!!) So next question, will a 1.4 drop give a good look? I don't want it to be crazy low, just have a nice sporty appearance & less wheel gap. Does anyone have these on their Cavy & can show me some pics?

I just installed the Pro-Kit on stock struts a few days ago. I really like the look it gave and the ride isn't too bad on stock struts but in the near future I'm gonna get some AGX's. Here is my post w/ pics:

some like it...most like it, others like to be B-low-C-level...

its a performance minded spring....and it accomplishes the job.

In my honest opinion, its the springs that should have come on the car stock. I think it looks great.

Maybe a stock option. Not everyone wants the car on the ground. Some bought them cause they're cheap cars. But as an option it would have been great.

But then you would likely be charged $500 for the springs.

Well if they were low to the ground stock, then the older grandmothers that drive cavaliers would probably be lookin' for a different car and then cavalier owners wouldn't take as much crap as we do

the pro-kit hardly brings the car to the ground, some people don't even notice that I'm dropped (from looking at it). Not that I mind, though, if I wanted a show car I would've bought coilovers.
