Default EIBACH vs. NEUSPEED

hi. i was just wondering what your opinions were on this.

eibach pro-kit vs. neuspeed sport.

and

eibach sportline vs. neuspeed race.

let me know who has them and if your satisfied along with any advantages/disavantages to them. i know how much the springs lower your car already from their websites but a real world measurement from you guys would be more helpfull too.:thumbup:

I've got the eibach pro-kit on my 6th gen sedan and absolutely love it. the ride is excellent! I'm running 17" (215/45/17) and STOCK springs! I've never had neuspeed but on my previous car I had the eibach sports-line and it was great. The sports-line is obviously lower drop but the ride wasn't as good as my pro-kit. :thumbup:

I loved my Neuspeed Race springs.... Just low enough without being to low. If you drive properly, the only thing you'll scrape will be your mudflaps. Stiff without being too stiff... and the slightly lower in the front raked look is a big plus in the looks dept.

IMO Race springs are the best off the shelf springs...I would NEVER run Eibach products...yeah sure they put a decent amount of R & D into their products but the rear end/sub-box sag could easily be rectified, yet they don't. IMO Eibach is more for looks and less for performance....along the lines of Sprint, ST, Intrax, etc... but a far more comfy ride than products like GoldLine, tenzo, etc...

For Cliff:

Neuspeed=Good performance, for the race car driver at heart.
Eibach=Good ride, for the ride quality hippocrits....

I know, I know... don't flame me you Eibach owners. As long as you are happy, that's what counts....just don't challenge me to a handling contest.

Yeah, I think H&R/Neuspeed is more of a sporting spring. Eibach seems to be a more stock like ride from what I hear.

I have H&R and I'd reccommend them.

My neuspeed race springs are great. I want to swap them for sports though because I wanna park on my driveway without scuffing my lip everytime. Anybody in SD wanna trade for some neuspeed or h&r sports?

I love the ride of my Eibach Sportlines, its compareable to stock just lowered. I rode in a friend's car who had supposed "Neuspeed Sports" and the ride quality kinda sux0rd compared to what mine is. I even have comments from him saying how nice my car rides. Eh i dunno its up to you on what you wanna do, each person has a different preference.

I love my eibach prokits and would definitely recommend them. Ride quality is stock-like with stock shocks and the body roll and nose dive is dramatically decreased under hard cornering and braking. Both eibach and neuspeed are top of the line stuff. You cannot go wrong with either one of the companies, but its just personal preference.

I know, I know... don't flame me you Eibach owners. As long as you are happy, that's what counts....just don't challenge me to a handling contest.
Lol....my friend WILL challenge you and he'll whoop you while he's at it with his eibach sportlines, koni yellows, comptech titanium front strut brace, eibach rear sway, 18" te-37 wrapped in yokohama parada spec 2.

While it looks damn cool and is pretty trick with the titanium section...I'll take my TL-S strut bar for $300 cheaper.


And if we are talking about "whooping up in handling"....if you really were comparing two comperabably equiped itentical model cars, with the difference being eibach sportlines or H&R/Neuspeed race springs, driver skill would probably play more of a role than any difference in race springs. So saying who would win is kinda pointless. (not directed at you F23A Accord - just stating opinion)

I have Eibach Sportlines and can agree with XonedReality. The ride on stock shocks was compareable to stock. The drop and handling were great as well. I don't recommend staying on stock shocks for too long though.
