hey there, i'm wondering if anyone knows the spring rate of the Eibach pro kit coil springs, i'm looking at buying a set and was after some feedback if anyone has used them in the past, they will be matching with koni height adjustable shocks

cheers

In theory, and these figures are for an NB,

Front 210 lb/sq" Stock 150 lb Kings 250 lb
Rear 50 lb/sq" Stock 110 lb Kings 220 lb

I have had both Kings and Eibachs, on my NA and NB, and Eibach's the way to go

Although I have heard that the Tein's are almost as good as a Koni / Eibach setup

I've got the Koni/Eibach combo, not height adjustable though, only dampner adjustable. I absolutely LOVE it! It's nice and firm with little body roll but still giving enough not to jarr the car or yourself when going over potholes etc.

spewing mate, i just bought a set, so they are on the way, what shocks do you have in the car, and did you find that they worked well with the springs

I though all Eibachs had a variable spring rate, so you get a good ride but when compressed a bit, they get harder and harder.

I had a set on my '99 and I thought they were excellent, even with the standard shocks.

I think there was a set advertised in the FS/WTB section of the forum the other week. might be worth a look ;)

sttevetinker, mate i'm interested on your opinion of the ohlins coil overs (i'm assuming they are fully adjustable coilover type). There's a set for sale and I am interested in some feedback. I've got the Koni's in the car at the moment but would like to get something possibly more competant.

and are the na and nb coilovers interchangable.

here is the ones I am looking at.

NA and NB coilovers are NOT interchangeable.
