I'm helping my bro to install the Eibach prokit, it's been a few weeks and he's getting the wheels aligned today.

My bro is so happy with how it turned out, even though it lowered the car way more than we've expected for this kind of kit.

The ride is still pretty smooth, what I don't like is tht it becomes a little bumpier. Turning into corners feels better, but you feel the bumps in the road more when you're turning.

He's really proud of it, and I'd say it's good for driving on twisty roads.

seems to have turned out well, though it's not without its compromises. It's nice that the ride is still smooth overall, well apart from the occasional bumpiness. It's good to hear the handling improved, though

That's awesome! Those Pro-Kits usually end up lower than you might think. You're definitley going to enjoy the improved cornering feel, but you might feel those bumps a bit more too. If it gets too rough, it could be worth considering some matched shocks down the line. But I'm really happy to hear your brother's excited about it

Eibachs often lower the car a little more than they say. The stiffer ride is really part of the deal,it's great for handling, but you'll definitely notice the bumps more. If it gets too rough, teaming them up with performanc shocks like Bilstein B8s or Konis can help make it a bit more comfortabel. But honestly, this setup sounds perfect for some fun on winding roads

it sounds like the Eibach ProKit is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, which is improving handling and aesthetics, with the expected trade off of a slightly firmer ride
 
They're all right, that's pretty typical with lowering springs like the Pro-Kit. Good to hear the ride's still smooth overall. Did you guys need any additional parts like camber bolts , or did the alignment go smoothly?
 
Pro kits typically deliver more than what they claim, which is pretty standard. You can expect a rougher ride due to the stiffer springs. Getting the alignment done will improve handling, and the springs will adjust a bit after you've driven a few hundred miles.
