Eibachs
I tried using the search function prior to it going down and wasn't able to really find any reviews of people using eibach pro kit springs. I wanted to know how they compare to Swifts or Espelirs which I see is popular to use with Bilstein struts. Anyone?

i already know someone is gonna jump in and say the spring rates are too soft and will kill your struts. then someone is gonna say they've used them for blah blah blah and they work fine. i'd say if you do any auto-x or road racing go with something stiffer, or if you drive aggressively on the street. if you just cruise around town i be they would be ok, though premature strut failure could be possible

I know how the swifts have a MR option when buying them. Does the pro kit have the same option or is it all the same. Reason I ask is because I can get a good deal on the pro kit but I dont see the MR option like for swifts.
Thanks
Thanks

OOOh.. Good Question. Though the reason they don't sell them is because they are already on all the MR's from the Factory. MR suspension: Bilstein Struts/Shocks and Eibach Springs. It's all over the Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubi...ncer_Evolution.

As stated above, from what I understand, Eibach's already come on your 8 and 9 from the factory. This is according to Wiki... I checked with the dealer, however they don't show a brand for the springs, but all the springs are the same on the MR and all IX models. So I'm not sure why there's a option for MR Swifts or normal IX Swifts. Just the struts are different from the factory.
If you like a stiff and very responsive ride, the KYB's found on the IX are great with a set of springs. If you like comfort and more give on bumps, the MR Bilsteins are the way to go. The Bilsteins def. have more body roll then the KYB's. I don't know how the Bilstein HD's compare. I havn't tried those yet.
