Does anybody know the spring rate for the eibach prokits for the b13? Trying to see the difference between these and the 300f/200r special buy springs. TIA

I believe it it 160/160.

The rates are: 148 lb/in front and 69/160 lb/in progressive rear.

Hope this helps

Let me put it this way, THEY SUCK. I always knew they sucked, but I didn't know how bad. I have them on my car with brand new AGX's. My neighbor has the original Hyperco's (160–180 lb front, 160–174 lb. rear) with new AGX's. We both have full ES bushings, and a strut brace. I just drove his car, and it rides 1000% better with the stiffer springs, than mine with the ProKits. It actually rides softer with the stiffer springs, and doesn't bottom out during normal driving. I dodn't get a chance to fully wring it out, but it's so obviously better.

Driving his car makes me look forward to the day when I get the new 300/200 springs.

Hey Mike. I just realized that you're on Long Island. If you want, you can swing by here this weekend and see the difference for yourself. I'm in Lake Grove, and my friend with the other SE-R lives next door to me. Let me know, and we can work out a time.

Yeah I am trying to justify buying the springs because I will also need shocks and bumpstops. May just buy them and hold onto them for a while. Will let you know Chriscar.

Think about this. It's going to take another 10 - 12 weeks to get the springs produced. That should give you plenty of time to save up for the shocks and bumpstops
