Eibach Prokit w/ Koni Yellows

[2000Pimpinex]

The prokit only lowers the car about 1.3 to 1.5 inches. Will the addition of the Yellow lower it about another inch. Does anyone currently have this setup?

i dont think the yellows will allow you to drop much more if any at all.... were the yellows adjustable??? im not sure about the yellows but i know the tokiko blues will make you settle about half an inch....
I have GAB on mine... and they can be adjusted 8 ways... but the problem is that mine cant be lowered with the struts cuz i have weapon r coilovers.... but the setup is sweeeeet i love riding like rails

The Konis will allow you to move the spring purch up and down. The front has one setting and the back has two. I dont remember how far down the gap is (Im thinking the front was like 1.5 inches and the back is 1 inch and 2 inches).. I personally wouldnt do it. If you want to be that low get some sort of coilovers.

Real coilovers will give you tons of a better ride (still maybe a little to stiff it just depends on the person) because the spring and shocks are made to go together, but they are pricey, but IMO worth every penny.

Coilover kits such as Ground Control and skunk, etc.. Will allow you to raise the car up and down as you need, but the ride may not be as good as you want it because the spring may not work well with the shock. They maybe a little to bouncey or stiff, etc.

True Coilovers: are the best way to go.
Spring and shocks will probably give you a great ride but may not put you were you want to be.
Coilover kits are good because they can adjust hieght but will probably not give you the best ride.

The yellows are adjustable. I heard you settle about an inch with em.

[Racing Rice]

Good timing.. I think we posted at the same time.

[2000Pimpinex]

Yeah, we did. Anyway, thanks for the info.

[Racing Rice]

any time

Actually if you want very little finger gap without scraping the ground, check out the Sportlines. They look great and ride nicely. It wouldn't seem like there would be a difference between 1.5" & 1.8", but you will notice it.

Just my $.02...............

The perch on the Koni Yellows only adjust the height a few milimeters. The Konis are very stiff, the prokit is not that agressive, would be a good balance.

Milimeters?? Are you sure??

Tell you what.. After I get off work Ill look at them again.. I pretty sure its more then a few milimeters..

The Absorber Adjustable spring perch can lower car approx 15mm rear, 25 in the front
More than a few

But you will have to make the same decision I did. I went with the Eibach Pro kit and Paid $450. If I would have done the sportlines, I would have had to do the caster/camber kit and I would have paid an extra $400 so to me the extra .3 inch wasn't worth $400 for such a little difference. So think about it and weigh all your options.

You paid 450 dollars for the Pro kit??? Please tell me your in Canada!!! I paid $250 for mine almost 3 years ago.. You got ripped off man..

[2000Pimpinex]

Maybe the $450 was the price including installation. A little steep if you ask me. For that price, I will install them myself.

I hope so.. thats still steep...

Hey Pimpen.. I was trying to put my Prokit back in this weekend to see if it makes any difference in my ride(for the better I hope.) I can send you pics if I get them switched so you can see how it sets.. The bolts were rusted up and I broke one of the bolts so I had to take it to the shop to get them drilled out. I may try again when I get my car back (hopefully tonight)

[2000Pimpinex]

Yeah, definately put some pics up. Right now totally stock as far as suspension goes w/ stock wheels, I don't have much of a gap. The system really weighs down the back.

I agree with Phatblackcivic on the difference between having to get a camber kit for not even .5" more drop. That is the reason why I went with Integra Pro-Kit. I wanted the stiffness of a race spring on my Civic but just the Pro-Kit drop that does not need a camber kit. I think with the Koni Yellows this setup works beautifully for me in my auto-x and is not too harsh for daily driving.

Oh Dude, that was installed and having the car re-aligned. The kit itself was only $230: eek:

Ok.. thats not so bad then...

[Racing Rice]

Well I got my Prokit back on last night... now its rubbing in the front under heavy cornering.. This is going to make me mad...!!!

It rides a million times better then the Skunk coilovers did, but they didnt rub and its sits a nice stance, Ill try to take some pics tonight when I get home from work... I dont know which is worse rubbing or a rough ride!:(

[2000Pimpinex]

I've heard that the skunks were way to bouncy. To bad about your rubbing problems though. Good luck

[Racing Rice]

Man the skunks sucked for the bounceyness.. I didnt enjoy that at all.. The Eibachs ride a million times better..

I haven't heard a good thing about Skunks, ever. Too short IMO.

you kids may enjoy this....


yes, Koni now offers true C/Os just like Tokico started to recently.


this ones for the civic and runs about $900 MSRP


springs are from Eibach


jus thought i'd share
