Sorry guys, won't be joining in this one...... After lowering my last car, i wasn't happy with the ride quality, and i didn't like dragging front or rear bumper when entering/exiting parking lots.....

That car went from stock -> H&R non-progressive ->ground control adj. progressive.

I like the ride of the stock suspensions, just would like to take 3/4-1" out of the wheel well gap

Holding out for the H&R I think you guys might be a little disappointed in the 1' drop your gonna get from the Pro kit and the sport lines gonna be too much

H&R gonna be 1.4F-1.3R Just right

Just a thought

Not true. I ordered my Injen without knowing about the group buy via internet order. Luckily, I called Stillen to check up on the order and I got a hold of Margret and she saw that the price was not the group buy price. She adjusted it on the spot and saved me $45.00! That was a great surprise and just by doing that Stillen got my future business! If it was anyother company, I'm sure it would be the "don' ask don't tell" policy.

Good to know mang! I paid about $239 for the springs. They should be shipped next month sometime.

When Greyzone spoke with a custom suspension shop here in San Diego, (This shop is a suspension specialty shop specializing in $100,000 + exotic cars.) they specifically stated that, for lowering springs that will be used with factory suspension, Eibach was the only company that does their R&D correctly!

When correctly factoring in spring rate, vs vehicle weight, etc, there is a reason that the drop ends up being what it is, and that's why its different for every vehicle. Again, this came from a professional NOT affiliated with Eibach, H&R, Tein, etc so if you disagree, I can give you his number, but that's what the independent expert stated.

There's a reason that for a simple spring upgrade (not full suspension) most folks go with Eibach! Looks, performance, and safety are three different aspects that Eibach takes very seriously. I'm not downing H&R, but the guy wasn't particularly fond of them!

WOW...I have to admit that I was expecting this big of an interest so soon. I am definitely going to get this organized and see what we can do to get the best pricing possible.

If you pre-ordered your springs and they have not yet shipped then we will be happy to adjust the price to whatever the group buy rate will be.

The question came up about the quality of the Eibach springs. Eibach is an amazing spring. They are on every one of our demo and personal vehicles. They are the only spring that Steve Millen uses on his personal and race cars. When we built our Ford GT supercar for a road rally in New Zealand, the first call placed was to Eibach for a set of race springs that would work with the Penske adjustable coil overs. Eibach's are used by all of the major race teams from indy car to NASCAR, and even off road.

Not trying to take away from H&R, H&R builds a good spring but from our experience, no one can match Eibach's R&D and knowledge.

OK, let me get to work on this.

Yup, they are amazing springs. I have Eibach race springs on my sport bikes and believe me, When you're dipping into a turn at 90+mph and dragging knee, you need a spring on you r bike that will keep the wheel planted on the pavement! OEM springs sway too much and are too mushy.

man, you guys are complaining about shipping from out of state for springs? Think about us Cali folks that have to pay 8% tax. I got my Stillen exhaust for around 760 picked up while you guys from out of state gets free shipping free tax for 710. So i get it a couple days earlier but I have to pay more. Maybe Kyle can giv us additional discounts if we go pick it up instead?

I'm getting really tempted now. Anyone can give me the CLEAR advantages of getting the pro kit for my 3.5SE versus keeping to oem ones?

I'm talking about CLEAR OBSERVABLE advantages.
