    I currently have Eibach pro-kit springs on my car. They allegedly lowered the car 1.4 inches. Personally I think it was a little more than that. I notice that under hard cornering the tires will rub a bit and I'm wondering if it's my springs sagging. I've noticed a problem when I'm carrying extra passengers as well.

    So what do you think? Anybody have any opinions on these springs vs. ITR. Would I be better off ditching the Eibachs and installing Type R springs?

    FYI, I also have Koni single adjustable shocks and I run 205/50/15 tires with a 43 mm offset.

    I've also got the ProKit springs. The drop was a little more extreme than I'd wanted but I've learned to deal with it. I've not noticed any rubbing on my 205/50R15s when cornering in an insane manner though. I run on KYB AGXs though.

    I've never really had the chance to compare the Eibachs to ITR springs though. Folks that run H&R OE sports seem to love them and I can't recall hearing about them having rub problems.
