Eibach Pro Kit are excellent springs. Though may be a bit much $$$ wise if all you're after is cosmetics?

Im sure you need some strong shocks to support them, the spring rates are probably over 8k.

Usually Eibach kits are when you want to upgrade your coilover springs to something stiffer.

Which is when you're doing a good shock + spring combo.

Not with OEM Shocks.

just an fyi, the eibach pro kit spring rates for ek are progressive 290/190lbs(5.17/3.4kg) front and rear respectively so they are not a hard spring
stock seems to be about the 185/80lbs mark

can't really go wrong with either spring, comes down to what height you want and which one will achieve that result

Depends what Eibach you're talking about.

Pro Kit are usually closer to an 'OEM replacement,' item than a hardcore performance.

Sportline on the other hand...

Great combo. Will handle well and retain very standard-like ride.
