Default SLP Bilstein/Eibach shock/spring set

I've read a lot of threads saying some Eibach springs sag prematurely and some don't. Does anyone know if these springs in this package will last or sag after a year? Thanks.

It is a good price. It's either these or stock replacement springs...

Hey craby, I think we both have the same tips!


The guy at the muffler shop I went to suggested that these would look really good, and when I saw them I could not pass them up.

check out mine...they've been on mine for 5 years. They are Eibach sport lines. It's a lot of drop...camber and alignment will need to be adjusted. I would suggest the pro-kit version that don't lower as much if you daily drive your car. Mine is a weekend warrior.

I definitely don't want to drop much, that's why I'm looking at this set as it's an inch or less drop. I just mainly want to know that they will last.

my eibachs did sag, wasn't bad though and still drivable etc just a littile too low as my BMW rims have et +24 and stick right out so were scuffing the arches too much. I'd say that package is pretty good, athough I do recommant the KYB AGX a a good shock and you can adjust then bound and rebound, although it is a one adjustment rather than 2

Thanks craby and maudy, I've been researching what I want to get off and on for the past six some months, and I keep coming back to this set. I was considering the AGX, but I think I would rather have something matched and set. If the rear do sag, Eibach seems to be good about warranties, or I could go back to stock springs since a pair is only $50.

I think the quality of the springs in this set may be better than the other sets, as the price for just the spring set is around $300. With the package I will be saving $60 over buying them separate.
