Eibach Pro Kit and/or Sportline Experiences

[ElpacoSV]

This is the thing I'm worried about. Honda did some magical things to reduce torque steer and it seems like changing anything from the stock geometry messes with that. When I went to 18" wheels I immediately regretted it. I know some people say they can't feel the difference but I definitely noticed a reduction in handling.

I think you were a strong proponent for sticking with 19" wheels and your feedback has me concerned. I do think the Pro Kit is on the lower side though so maybe there is a happy medium on how much to lower the car (I just purchased Spoon springs).

The saga continues!

If you Had to start all over again, would you go Eibach ou H&R, knowing you drop less with H&R?

So after a few weeks of driving I'm noticing my Pro-kit springs are different heights in the front. Pass side is as expected and looks even with the rear. Drivers side is lower in the front. 2025 with about 4k miles on it.

Measurements from ground to fender lip in front:

Driver: 25 5/16"
Pass: 25 9/16"

I'm really disappointed that they aren't even, and I've probably had a dozen pro-kits for my cars over the years and never had this issue. They are my go to spring.

Not sure what to do really. It's such a PITA to change out the springs I don't really want to do it again.

You can see it here. It's not much but just enough for your eye to notice a difference.

To be honest, I wouldn’t have noticed until you actually pointed it out. But I sorta had the same experience but with the rear passenger side, but springs ended up settling after driving for about 1k miles, and everything was even all around.

I’m running the more aggressive Sportline-kit (1.2” drop in front, 0.9” rear) and no complaints after over 15k miles.

Ok thanks for responding. I've been driving for a few weeks but not a lot of miles. I'll just keep an eye on it.

5 days after my post and all of the fenders are at the same height. Total time for full settling was about 3 weeks. Car looks great now.

Glad it worked out ? now is a good time for an alignment if you haven’t done that already.

Already scheduled!

Nice! Your camber won’t be perfect like it was at factory height, but it’ll be close enough to factory specs once you’re aligned. Nothing to worry about though, it’ll be completely daily drivable and you won’t experience any dramatic tire wear.

Only about 50 miles on the Pro Kit, but so far so good. Ride is slightly firmer than stock. I do have the ITS shock module, so it may still be softer than comfort on the CTR ADS.

500 miles on sportlines. Has creaking at front right when angling up a driveway/sometimes slow speed uneven terrain.

Retorqued everything after first 200 miles, did alignment, and sound still exist. Eibach says it's the springs rubbing each other. Asked them if HPDE is a problem sans annoying sound. They said it's fine, will leave as is.

On stock wheels for now. Right around -2 camber all around with the front pins removed.

To me feels like
If stock is comfort/sport/R+
Eibach sport feels like sport/R+/R++

Pro-kit, 15mm spacers.

@track.n.trail Which spacers do you have?

Kind of worried about putting on spacers because it moves the pivot point outwards a bit.
