Anyone got eibach pro springs for sell? I have H&R and I'd like to try out the eibach springs now. Let me know if you got a set to sell.

I'm not quite sure how to tell the difference from pro and sportline visually. I know that the pro only drops the car about 1" lower with spring rate of F6.53 kgs / R4.9 kgs . And I think eibach only made the pros for FD.

...did you want to sell it or you were just asking...lol

I believe the Pro's are gun metal color while the sportlines are black.

i dunno, but mine are black.

with the bumper and sideskirts, i'm going to fear parking lot speed bumps with this thing.

anywhere that does shocks... rx7's are nothing special when it comes to swapping out a set of springs.

I'm going to install them myself.

You can try Mack III or wuteva it is called in SF. They'll charge you about $100 which is the cheapest I've seen, but personally I'd rather do it myself and be sure things are done in a right way. It's also a great way to spend time with the car you love.

i'd have someone do it for me if my neighbor didn't have a good spring compressor. not hard, just time consuming and a PITA with the ghetto spring compressors i have.
