Pro Kit With Reflex Shocks
#1
ok as the title says has anyone tried the eibach pro kit with monroe reflex shocks and struts. or would I be better off getting the prokit kit with the springs shocks and struts.

I have heard people say that you can run stock dampners with the prokit springs, but
A: how long do they last.

B: how is the ride compared to the eibach dampners

C: how easily do they bottom out.


I have a set or kw varient 1 coil overs on my car now and really I'm getting sick of them they are way to rough for my taste and for the roads I drive on. ( st.albert and edmonton reads suck donkey balls.)

I want something that isn't to harsh but will give a nice street abliaty. I don't want to make the same mistake I did with the coilovers.

If you're going to go with a kit, go with a full kit. They're matched for a reason. Some guys last a few months on the stock dampers, some go for a couple of years more. It's a crapshoot.

Personally, I'd go with the full kit if it was me. When I did the S2 suspension conversion on my SE sedan, it was a 90% complete kit (shock/struts and springs, no sway bars) and I added the Eibach 22mm front bar at the same time. What a wicked handling (yet horribly underpowered) car!

well I found a place here in edmonton that got me the kit for $535 and then the alingment kit is another $180 ( $120 for the front and $60 for the rear.)

so I ordered it. it should be here next week. so if anyone knows someone who wants a kw coilover kit I'm selling one only problem is one of the rear shocks is blown I think.
