Eibach Pro kit springs

[ab_mach1]

I've decided I don't want to lower my ride too much (like with H&R SS's), because it's just not practical where I live. I'm looking for about a 1" drop.

Does anyone have these Eibach's on there Mach? I would like to know about how much it dropped it and how you like them.

Thanks!

I put the pro kit on..

I also put on polyurthane ISO. which I think rasied it way back up

It rides and turns was better! But the drop wasnt much.. I forgot to measure before hand so I cant exactly say. Id say get the Poloy ISOs.. with sport springs... The pros wont drop it enough unless you go without any ISOs..

Here's mine on stock isolators with the pro kit. Rides great. Rides even better after I put the subframe connectors on. Handles great too.

pro kit as well - stock iso's
better handling and great ride
best choice out there for what you are looking of

That looks good there. Thats about what I want. I hope my ISO's are in good enough shape to keep lol. Yes! I remember you getting the new subframe connectors. I might do that too

I was wondering about the aftermarket ISO's. The pics online have them looking pretty thick. I just hope my ISO's are still in good shape. I think the Eibach Sportlines drop a little lower, but I think they really stiffen up a lot more. Maybe a little more than I want.

Did you stick with the stock shocks and struts?


IG: @azurebluemach

[mach18604]

the pro kit comes with shocks and struts.

Yeah I think the aftermarket ISOs seem thinker.. but when I looked at them the material the spring sits on seemed the same thickness.. I still have stock wheels tho.. So who knows

Get some Prothane isolators I have them and they work well when lowering.

yes stock shocks/struts
if I was gonna go lower I would do the h&r super sports and bilsteins

Cool, thanks! I think I'll give this a try. They seek the springs for around $245. The springs are pretty close to the stock 600lbs if the info is correct. Plus they are progressive rate so maybe all that will work good with the stock shocks and struts until I can get some new ones. I want to get some Bilsteins, but they are daggum expensive lol. I've been told you can get camber bolts to help with alignment so I hope not to have to get caster/camber plates. I don't think they look good in the engine bay IMO.

Agreed, I even did them on my 2013 GT when I did springs.
First spring I went with was the H&R SS and once I got moved down to WA, that was a no go and went with more comfort than look and really like them.
you will be for sure happy with the Pro Kit

you should be fine with out doing the CC plates. AM is the best place I found price for those springs, also remember the M1R 5% discount.
The only thing you may have to do is the camber bolt, but i'm not for sure, because I had MM CC plates on mine from doing the H&R springs. The drop on the pro kit is not enough for CC plates.

and who would have thought they are Eibach brand LOL
here is the camber bolt I was talking about

I used h&r sport. Not super, just sport. Stiff as a frpp b spring. Lower iso still in front, nothing in rear.

[Mach828]

I had them and disliked them. Didn't like the spring rate, but the drop was nice.

Ended up going back to cut stock springs.

Were they too stiff or not stiff enough? On paper, they look like they are just a smidge less stiff, as well as being progressive.

Not stiff enough. The progressive spring rate was annoying because it didn't really handle well until the spring started to become fairly compressed. It made the car feel mooshy in the turns.

I decided to go with the Eibach Sportlines. I just bought them along with the camber bolts. I'm hoping I don't need to get caster/camber plates. I don't want to pay for them and I don't think they look good under the hood. I figure if it's a bit too low, I can buy new ISO's and that will bring it up as needed.

The drop looks to be a bit lower than the Pro kit and pretty similar to the stock springs. I'm hoping this will give me a few years to save for some Bilstein HD's to replace the stock shocks and struts. Who knows, maybe by that time I'll be interested in another level up in the suspension. I really like Maximum Motorsports, but without a track related reason, I feel like that's a bit too much to spend LOL.

I've heard a lot of bad stories with camber bolts and cars coming out of alignment or the bolts wearing. Hopefully they work out for you.

When you got your pro kit springs, did you need caster/camber plates?

[Mach828]

I went with the MM CC plates. I think the sportlines will be good with the ISOs in place, you could even run poly isos right off the bat.

No plates needed. I'm running stock isolators. Car only had 10k miles on it so they were like new. The Ford dealership that did the alignment had to take a hair more out of each hole to get it perfect. The mechanic said it was a very minimal amount. I didn't want cc plates either.
