Shox.com sells the Eibach ProKit springs for $248 with free shipping. How hard can it be to install the springs myself at home? But with those I'd like to know how the spring rate of those compares to the stock springs - in a nutshell, can the stock dampers control the rebound?
DO the eibachs it will be the best thing that ever happened to you. install is cake literally i came on here and read that it took some people like 6 hours I laughed out loud. The rear take about 20 min a piece including taking tires on and off. The fronts took about 30 min a piece all I needed was some ratchets and a pry bar. I bought a coil spring compressor and never had to touch it. The backs are simple there is only one way to do it once you get back there you will see. The fronts there are many ways to do it but all i did was drop the A arm and pried it out. The eibachs slip right in no need to do anything. I believe my Eibach kit lowered my car more in the rear then shown in Eric's pictures I will post the pictures of the car when I traded it in. Remember now those are 19s in the front and 20s in the rear. You can not beat this Brabus deal I dont think you have anything to worry about the eibachs are going to be the same if not more of a drop.

Eric post some more pics will you the same set up that mine are please. I would really appreciate it just so we can get the full idea. I looked at the one of your front end and it really scares me thats really low but I can not tell if it is from the camera angle or it really is that low.
