JAMEX OR EIBACH????

Thanks in advance

Yup I have the Eibach pro kit in my car and it kicks *** ! Its a pretty good drop and still is good for handling. Jamex I heard sucks. Learn from others mistakes and spend the cash to get good springs. So I would say the eibachs.

I would get the jamex. Everyone that I have talked to that has them likes them. I haven't heard they suck from anyone except people who plopped down the cash for eibachs and are trying to justify the price. I just don't think they are worth twice the price, plus they're progressive rate, I think the jamex are linear rate.

Ask Tom Keihler! I think everybody here agrees he knows his stuff, and he uses Jamex.

I have Jamex on my camaro with zero problems. I love the look, handling and ride. Other people I gave rides to also comment on the smooth(sort of) ride they give. It's much smoother then expected is what I'm tring to say. See my before and after pics below at my site.

Consider this: Over 50% of formula 1 race cars use Eibach springs.
