Eibach prolines std shocks ?

[davo172]

I know there is a lot of threads on here ref eibach springs but who is running them on standard 172 shocks ?
Was thinking of getting prolines, but after fitting AVO - 35 springs before on std shocks ride was s**t ! Looked great thou ! not to sure if std shocks are up to the job ? 63k on shocks.

So who is running eibachs on std shocks and what is the ride quality like compared to std or do I need Konis ?

Most people with them run standard shocks.

yeah, no problems. i have new standard shockers and prolines, all good.

 

[davo172]

How much you reckon they lower and what's the ride like ?

 

[Drew.]

to begin with its hard to notice but after they settle a bit, 20-30mm. check out my pics in media, shameless plug there.

I have Sportlines on new shocks. I know they are different springs but I dont think they are vastly different but the ride is really not much different from standard.

They certainly give the ride an edge , not crashy just stiffens it up

mine felt bit harsh in first, but they are settled in. couldn't do without them. car isn't lowered that much, about 20mm but it practical, beter handling,... love it!

I ran them for about a year on standard shocks and they were fine. Thought they were a bit more forgiving over bumpy roads than the standard cup springs but if you're wanting to lower the car then these are not for you.

I dont want it much lower just about 20 is fine just wanted to check if it knackered the std shocks after a while or gave sh*t ride quality .
