Eibach Pro Kit

Im looking to order a new suspenion for my car and i decided to go with eibach springs. Question is, what kind of struts will go good with eibach springs. I replyed in the suspenion thread, but no one had responded in a couple days.

Thanks,
Chuck

I will answer your question before everyone ask you to search, Tokico Illuminas.

one more question, i will end up probebly getting eibach's with the tokico illumina.

Problem is, all four of my struts are blown, is there anything else i would need to but in order for this to work out?

I don't know what kind of shape your strut bearing are but you should consider changing them when your getting you setup installed.

How many miles on your car? It will help make a more educated guess about what else you need for the install.

I just put struts/springs on last week and changed out my strut plates (bearings) while I was at it.....

Oh yeah, and I used a few spacers to tighten down the struts where they mount on top, inside the engine bay...

Thats about it...

Probably a good idea to get new strut mounts and maybe even dustboots all the way around. 137k miles in these pothole ridden NJ salty roads don't do us very well.

search google and type in tokico illumias or tokico hp, or kyb gr2, just depends on your budget and what you want out of it. if you want, donate 20 bucks, so you can search. it will HELP you alot.

Tein makes H-Techs and S-Techs.

S-Techs are garbage because they bottom out all day.

Do yourself a favor and buy Eibachs with Illuminas.

I had Tokico HPs (Blues) with my Eibach pro springs...did not like them. (Harsh ride, no adjustablility)

I switched out to Tokico illuminas (5 way adjustibles) and the ride is perfect! I can make it hard for racing and soft for a long trip to the beach.

My settings are: 2 front 3 rear but you will decide for yourself on what ride you like best.
