Well that blows, I was under the impression that the ProKits were designed to work with the stock shocks. :mad:

I've had my prokits on since november and only in the last month have I noticed a little more bounciness - but nothing serious. I suspect that over time the shocks will wear faster than normal but at a much slower rate as compared to a lower drop (<1.5"). I'm reallly happy with they're looks and perfromance and hopefully by the time a company offers a direct replacement shock my OEMs will be just about done.

How many TOTAL miles do your stock shocks have on them?

Our stock shocks are very good quality! Made by a company with lots of overseas racing experience - Nissan Showa. I've been told that Showa makes shocks/coilovers for SpoonSports.

Anyway, the CTR sits 19mm than our EP. Since the CTR uses the same Showa shocks they should easily handle the EP 1" Prokit drop. Should have no excessive wear on the shocks with the Prokit.

Correct me if I am wrong !?!?

mine was so bouncy (sportline eibach kit) until I got new tires and rims --- its all gone away since.. what tires/rims you runnin?

Can I buy/trade you for your Pro-KIt?
Maybe buy/trade just the rears if possible?
Or Ill trade you straight up for my Sportlines?

anyone... ?

I need to get the rear of my car about 1/2 inch higher because of the enormous tires I am runnin... :-)

Koni sport to the rescue.

Man, I'm really keen to the 1" drop. I want my car to have an even gap around the wheels, and less body roll to boot.

So the Koni sport + pro-kit might be a good setup for the above needs?

So tell me, does anyone know why the heck Honda put the Si up high like that? I've seen the eclipse and celica have the same kind of thing...is it all about ride quality taking precedence over height?
