Ok. Im looking into purchasing an "Eibach Prokit" for my 97 Tib.

My question is if i JUST BUY the Eibach Prokit, will i need any other sort of suspension support other than just those springs? What will i need if thats the case? strut bars?

I want a nice drop for an agressive stance, improved handling, and less body roll. But, i dont want my stock
struts to crap out real quick.

This is obviously just my daily driver so no need for any higher-end coilovers or anything. I just want the previously mentioned results without spending too too much cash. So basically the safe, value concious route.

I've been told to get KYB AGX's but for almost 200 bucks per, i dont think ill go there.

What do I do?

 

the kyb's are only $45-51 for each. who ever told you that lied. look at nopi.com they're pretty cheap.

 

the NOPI.com store also has tons of coupons and discounts. If you buy from there, let me know first and I'll get some discount codes for you

 

Don't listen to him I think he's drunk.

Yes the KYB AGX will run between 150-200 per. KYB also makes GR2's which run from 45-60 per.

AGX are adjustable dampening and GR2's aren't.

 

there ya go took me a while to find the part numbers again those are for the agx struts

and like i said in that very same post

might as well get coilovers

 

I'd skip the KYB's and get the Eibach dampner kit man, they are fantastic.

 

assuming the eibach prokit will only drop it 1.2", i should be ok with my stock struts though right? Just a slight decrease in my stock struts life span, yea?

 

Why do it twice?
Just like Ron Popel says,... "Set it and Forget it"
Unless you have access to hoists and airtools, forget it, hell I have access, and I don't really want to F with it,... get it all at once and do it,... if you just want the "look" of a lower car, then stop there, with just the springs,... if you want REAL handling, save up for it if you don't have the cash,.. And DO it AT Once.

BTW, Sway bars will improve your handling THE MOST!!! Outta the springs/struts and sway bar components to your suspension,...

Trust me,... been there,...
But, if you feel like tinkering with your car, all the time, then well, do what you want.

OH yeah, be prepared to replace atleast 1 outta the 4 swaybar links when you take out your strut/swaybars, the links like to spin.....

That's all the advice I can give ya.

 

guess i shouldn't drink and post at the same time.

 

GR2's are also considered stock replacements. no true handling improvement.
