How does the ride quality compare with standard springs?, i'm really impressed how the standard springs dull most of the bumps and thumps I've come across on the roads albeit for more a bit body roll than I was hoping for..

My old Willy seemed to be a tad harder ride (but not by much at all) though had more body control - I'm hoping these prolines I have can help to gain back some of that chassis control but I wanted peoples inputs on the ride quality.

Cheers!

iv done approx 20k on my prolines and i think they are great, the ride is slightly harder, but iv had every make of uprated springs under the sun on various cars, and Pro's are different than any other iv used, i can do the 3 1/2 hour trip to see my cousin and get out 100% fine, in fact if your close to Wiltshire at any point mate your welcome to come for a drive of mine

Don't worry. They are only slightly firmer and ride comfort is still excellent. I've been driving a standard Fiesta St today, makes the 172 feel like a mercedes!

When I fitted mine, I didn't notice much difference in comfort, they only seemed to be firmer when you get nearer the full travel of the spring.

But they made the car feel much more stable at speed. TBH, they made the car feel like you would want from the factory.

Apologies for the noob/ignorant question here, By Prolines you mean Eibach?

I've just ordered a set of Eibach Pro springs with the 15-20mm drop and this thread is in my interest

 

[Russ_16v]

Yes mate Eibachs

Exactly what i wanted to hear TBH Had the pro setup in my old Focus except with shocks and springs; I loved it. Tho it was a 50mm drop not a teeny 15-20mm one.

I think Pro's give a really nice height, here's mine

Good stuffs then ladies!

Think I'll get them slapped on and get a wheel alignment check for good measure
