Hi guys,
I am planning to change my stock suspension to Eibach Prokit to reduce some fender gap on my Honda Civic FB (Modulo bodykit installed).
The reason for me choosing this spring is because
1) I will be able to maintain my car's comfort level similar to stock according to many online reviewers
2) It will not lower the car drastically (1-1.25 inch according to eibach website)
However, I'm facing some dilemma here due to Malaysian roads (potholes, speed bump etc)
For those of you who have Eibach installed or a slightly lowered car (1-1.2 inch from stock) I have some questions:
1) I often fetched 5 people in my car. Therefore, will installing eibach make me prone to scraping my undercarriage when going over speed bumps? I do not want to do the "S" pattern when going over bumps.
2) Do I need to change my absorber? I am planning to keep it stock.
3) Will road noise increase? If yes, will it be unbearable?
That is all.
Your advise is much appreciated.
Thanks!
You may consider Tanabe NF instead.I am planning to change my stock suspension to Eibach Prokit to reduce some fender gap on my Honda Civic FB (Modulo bodykit installed).

It's only about 2-3cm lower so should still be able to clear most speed bumps unless those made ridiculously high/sharp. Of course you'd still have to go a bit slower than your current stock setup.
It's only about 5% stiffer spring rate than stock so it's still very compatible with stock dampers and hence almost like stock comfort too. I think Eibach Pro Kit is stiffer than this Tanabe NF based on my past experiences (I've used both before even though they're on different cars).
Noise is no issue for springs.
