There's not a whole lot out there about the Eibach Pro Kit for our xBs. I think there's only a couple of us on this forum that have them. It seems people usually go for the TRDs or the NF210s. I got these because somebody local was selling them after he switched to K-Sport coilovers. The amount of drop is 1" front.1.2" rear. Unfortunately I didn't take 'before' measurements, but based on what others have posted I think the drop is as advertised. They ride great and dips and speedbumps are not a problem. This is the most subtle drop on the market and seems like a winner for a daily driver who often carries passengers/cargo in the back.
I'm thinking 18s now... :eyebrow:

rockthebeef, I'm really glad you like it, but I'm glad I went with the NF210's. You're still looking a little high on the a$$ end, I think it needs the extra 1/2" of drop on the rear that the Tanabe's provide. I almost never have passengers or much extra weight. Extra bulk yes (need the space) but extra weight, no.
More power to ya!; no pun intended, at least not initially (we could all use more power).
I agree the rear is still too high but maybe give it a few more weeks and see if it settles more.
yea it will settle alot more
mine did
looks really nice for a 1" drop

You guys may think they settle but Eibach and Tein, good brands do not settle much or at all because they are progressive wound and never heated. I may be wrong but thats what brands like above and Tanabe advertise. At the most ur gonna get .1 or .2" nothin noticable. Both my cars are lowered with either a EibachProKit and Tanabe lowering springs and I never had them settle after install.

I don't anticipate too much settling but I would welcome a little more. If I was to buy new springs I was going to go for the NF210 but these Eibachs were priced right and I couldn't pass them up. I actually wasn't looking to drop my car originally, but I guess hanging out here can have an effect on a guy... I am totally happy that the 4x4 look is gone.

And the 4x4 ride...
Yup. That's for sure.The handling is better but not as good as when I lowered a '97 Civic I had 10 years ago. I'm going to go with the TRD rear sway bar. That should make things pretty nice.
well i lowerd my xb2 with the prokit
and it did settle more
so yea....
