Default Wich spring rides better on stock shocks? Eibach Prokit or KG/mm SuprtSport?

I would just like some opinions on which spring rides better between these two. I've heard the KG/MM's are really stiff, is this true? (Keep in mind I'm only talking about the SuperSport spring, not the race spring)

Is the KG/MM progressive like the Eibachs?

Thanks!

I installed the SuperSports just a few days ago and I have to say I can barely tell a difference in ride quality. The drop is not as much as the Eibachs from what I have seen but the ride has not been compromised for the look I have achieved. I have the race springs sitting here also and I have not gone ahead and installed them based on the pleasant experience so far.

(the race was mis-shipped)

Had some bad weather crop up today or I would have some after pics for you. The car seems to have settled a little more since the install also. I'm still very happy with the ride quality though. I will get some pics up within a few days when weather permits.

The drop is stated as 15mm for the SuperSports as compared to 35mm for the race version. I would say I see 3/4-1 inch difference and I can fit two fingers in sideways now between the tire and fender.

You mean two fingers...one on top of the other?

Looking foward to the pics! Really thinking about these springs. Can I ask where you got them, how much you paid?

Thanks!

Sorry I have been terribly busy lately and haven't been able to get some pictures. I bought the springs from Bulletproof automotive one of the sponsers to this board. I paid full price but there was and maybe still a group buy going on for them now. I will get some pictures up soon I hope.

Yes these are installed with all stock equipment except the springs.

I hope to get some pics tomorrow after a good cleaning and I will get them posted.

im running H&R sport springs and the ride is GREAT. the springs feel stock but they only lower like an inch so its not a great difference in the look.
