Hey guys!! I got my mx3 a week ago. I was wondering if anyody installed the Eibach Pro kit lowering springs? I am tempted to order them, but would like to know if they actually lower 1.5in(back) 1.2 (front). Has anybody got these on their mx3? Does anybody know of a better setup? Any advice apreciated. Thanx guys

Before you get all worked up, see if anyone even has them in stock.
Eibachs for MX3 have been out of production for the last three months.

Order them from Canada, they're in stock here.

ahha dont say they are out of production...

i ordered a set from tiretrends.com they are still being made just fell behind on orders... i should be getting them end of july

anything comparable to that would be H&R's... intrax go with a 1.75 drop and are made for comfort more then performance

If you get a sportline (i think) or pro-kit for a 90-94 ford escort you can get a even 2" drop. I saw someone at the recent meet in kelowna that had them.

The H&R are perfectly civil springs if you use softer struts. And the drop is significant compared to Eibach. It's more drop than advertized.

I agree, the H&R springs are not a very rough ride at all. Lowered close to 2 inches rather than the 1.2 rear and 1.5 front it says right on the box.

I'm wondering how the H&Rs handle. I mean, ride quality isn't much to me, considering that I autocross very often. What do you guys think of the handling of them?

I'll put in my 2 cents about Eibach.

I got em, they work awsome. Smooth ride, with good handling when i want it. No bounce, but you can feel the bumps. It's a toss up really. It all depends on what you'd rather have.

H&R and Eibach are relitively the same...so i hear. They are about the same stiffness i think.i find that my car has been lowered more than what eibach said it would, and i'm using ZX2 struts. The only thing is, i beleive H&R's are cheaper and are actually available lol..i got mine in april, but they are now hard to come by.

Eibachs are really soft compared to the H&R`s.

the H&R lowers aprox 45mm, and the Eibachs aprox 25mm

Use H&R + Koni struts + Whiteline rear swaybar, and you got a really fun car for Auto-X.
