daily driver, eibach pro kit reviews, is it that harsh?

I have the springs ready but iam waiting to install the body kit first to see how low the skirts hang. I already installed the front splitter looks great.

I can liv with a stiff ride i've owned an 89 iroc 94 impala ss and sum rams that were lowered.

How harsh is the ride with the pro kit i've been reading reviews on springs but i want actual Eibach pro kit reivews from peeps driving their camaro on a daily basis.

Any suggestions better shocks or shorted bumpstops????

Thanks in Advance,
Manny

Unless your buying coilovers which are better than drop springs, since you can adjust the ride, the Eibach springs work great, ride is definitely firmer than stock, but handling is much better, add the sway bars to further improve handling. In my opinion, the others have to do something to justify the cost of their products, Eibach isn't on here cheerleading their products. Others will chime in, good luck with your mods...

When you make thousands of different springs for every car imaginable, you can cut prices. Pfadt, Pedders, BMR, and Hotchkis make them for specific cars at specific tolerances. Eibach isn't cheerleading their stuff cause they let the cheap prices do that. Call the Eibach tech line and see if you get someone that KNOWS the specifics on installation in your Camaro. Some may want to call it cheerleading while others call it customer service.

Ride quality is fine.....just a little stiffer which is the case with any brand. Have had the Eibach Pro Springs installed for two years with no issues. Bumpstops do not need trimmed. Eibach's customer service is fine....I have talked with them in the past and they were helpfull and knowledgable.

Eibach had their own Camaro SS right when it first came out and they did extensive testing with it start to finish. Anyone in their tech department KNOWS the specifics on install.
