Says on site (Does NOT fit Turbo, GTU or convertible models)... Well what exactly does it fit?

Eibach are a quality spring but the spring rates aren't really engineered for our car, they just make them harder so you can feel a difference. They'd be something like 120lbs/in front and rear.

Racing Beat does research into what rates work and they are front and rear specific (I think they're something like 80lbs/in rear and 140lbs/in front; or something). Basically, what I'm saying is that you're better off going with a manuf. that deals specifically with the FC and has track time to ensure that the set up is the best combination.

also the ebach "pro" kit means they have a progressize rate which is nice unless you plan on racing your car
