I scrape at standard height on some occasions, so I won't be going any lower than the prokit!!

I have a set of reset springs I got for bugger all sitting here but have been quite rightly talked out of using them :)

Now those who are really UP to support this group buy. Please let's get going.

I've negotiated with Eibach Australia that I'll do it in sets of 5 i.e. once I get 5 people, I can put in an order. So we'll do a couple of runs if need be but I need 5 people on each run.

Wasn't the number needed 5 ?

hmm, will stick to the prokit.

whilst 0.8" doesnt seem enough at the back, 1.7" seems alot at the front.

prefer to be slightly higher than too low :)


the front wheel arch is alot "roomier" than the rear that might be why

You might be right there,

I was looking this morning, and my tyre comes pretty close to the guard on the rear. Have to keep a close eye on it and roll the guards if it is too close.

Sorry was mistaken, that was with the EBC brakes thing.

learning from my friends: lowering the back too much could be bad, driving a full load (ie 5 people) will make your car lower and you might start scrubbing!
thats what ive been told =D

How much stiffer are they krz?

Did you need to get your guards rolled at all?

when i had my saggy reset.. it dropped around 2.5" or prolly even lower.. i had the rite offset on my 18s, so it never rubbed..
switched to pro kit, and its higher than my reset, but the bounce is great.. it feels like standard for me (prolly got used to reset being harsh) and performs well.. the reset understeered a lot eventho it was lower..

take note tho, u mite experience some steering noises when installed.
but u can eliminate it, by installing hoses..

This doesn't sound right to me. You shouldn't get any noises, rattles or knocking from the springs.
