Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs
Eibach Pro-Kit combines a lowered stance with a progressive spring design for drivers seeking a more performance-focused daily car. The useful question is not just how the vehicle looks after lowering, but how the springs, dampers, available suspension travel, and tire clearance work together.
Compare the application-specific drop
Lowering the body reduces its center of gravity and can support more responsive handling when the complete suspension is properly matched. Lowering varies by vehicle and kit; use the front and rear drop specifications for your exact application. Evaluate the application-specific lowering specification against the car’s existing ride height rather than treating appearance alone as the selection criterion.
Progressive springs for daily use
The progressive spring design is central to the Pro-Kit’s daily-driver positioning. Spring behavior changes through compression, allowing the suspension package to balance everyday use with a more performance-oriented response. The result still depends on the vehicle, damper choice, road conditions, and the condition of the surrounding suspension components.
Match the dampers to the new height
A lowering spring changes the damper’s working position and the suspension’s available travel. Select shocks or struts intended for the planned drop and spring characteristics. Reusing a damper solely because its mounts fit can leave the suspension poorly matched, particularly if the existing units are already worn.
Check clearance and alignment
A lower stance changes the relationship between the tires, fenders, and road. Check wheel-and-tire clearance through steering and suspension movement, and review alignment requirements after installation. Lowering does not automatically create more fender clearance or improve tire wear; both require attention to the complete vehicle setup.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Pro-Kit lower the vehicle?
There is no universal Pro-Kit drop. Check the front and rear lowering specifications for your exact vehicle kit.
Can lowering springs be selected without considering shocks?
No. The dampers must suit the lowered operating position and spring behavior, with adequate suspension travel and clearance.
