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!
1. Depends on weight that you carry, not how many person. But chances of hitting fender will be much higher.I am planning to change my stock suspension to Eibach Prokit to reduce some fender gap on my Honda Civic FB (Modulo bodykit installed).

2. You may keep your existing absorber but don't expect it to last like pair with stock spring.
3. Road noise mostly contribute by tires not spring.
Everyone butt is different, you may or may not like the feel of it. But visually sure look better when lowered. Next will be bigger rim and low profile tire.
