I have STOCK Shocks/Struts with my Eiback Pro-kit on my 98 Eclipse Spyder.

It's been about 6 months now and everything is fine. A buddy of mine has the same setup for over a year now with no problems.

I love it. It's not a harsh ride at all. I think when they blow in another year or two, I'm gonna get the same shocks/spring. They only $25.00 or so each and I can install them myself (Simple).

Later,

Mike

I have tokico blues and the ride is still pretty good with eibach sportlines. It is a little bouncy on the highway, but it hangs corners with the best of them. I bought mine from www.shox.com

For those with Prokits and Tokico Blues, do you guys find your rides a little harsh? As in being bouncy as hell...it was almost similar to my blown stock struts....the cornering however is really good but the ride was getting me sick. Am I suppose to let it adjust for awhile or is this what I'm riding for the next couple of years?

I wouldn't call the ride harsh, stiff is more like it. The car does not bounce at all. You have tokico blues and it's bouncy? If it's truly bouncy, like it would be if you had blown struts, then there's something wrong. If it's bumpy then everything is fine and you just need to get used to it.

what about the GR2's i realize theyre not adjustable but what kind of ride do they give with the pro-kits?
I had them with Skunk2 coilovers on my old car and they were kinda rough. what about with pro-kits?

hows the ride with the AGX's and Pro-Kits? I just ordered a set of AGX's to go with the pro-kits ive been waiting to install when the snow melts.
How much difference does adjusting them make? Like how big of a difference is there from the softest setting to the hardest?

I second the stock shocks/struts for the price issue. I got pro kits on Monroes(same as stock) and i love them. I'm still waiting for my springs to settle a little more in the front though. The gap is killing me.

I love the ride with the AGX's. I just ended a 1400 mile road trip each way with 2 passengers and no complaints from anyone about the ride. Plus I love the cornering. I can usually take those circle on ramps at close to 80 or so and the car sticks to the road really well.
