    I have the brembo package. Seems more and more people are doing the eibach prokit and loving it. I want to clear 305/35/20 MT DR's too and it seems them clear it.

    Anyone use these on stock brembo struts? I see alot of people going with the Koni yellows as well. I'm curious to know if anyone has used the pro kit on stock brembo struts? Or on eibachs own struts?

    It's only $220 more to get the eibach struts with the pro-kit springs but I'm wondering if they are going to be any better than what I have now. Any input is appreciated!!

    Wasnt aware the Brembo equipped cars had different struts. Regardless, here is mine with the Pro Kit. Car is bone stock with the exception of the springs. Rides great but I cant help with tire fitment.

    See when I see your car I feel like it doesnt look that much lower than stock but with aftermarket wheels they look alot lower to me.

    Oh and...

    The brembo package includes the following:

    • Front: 14" Brembo® Vented Rotors with Brembo® 4-Piston Calipers
    • 19 x 9.0-inch dark-stainless premium painted aluminum wheels
    • 255/40R19 Pirelli PZero Summer-Only (Coupe) or P255/40ZR19 Goodyear F1 Supercar (Convertible)
    • Different Springs (131lbs Front / 167lbs Rear)
    • Different Struts/ Shocks (tuned for spring rates)
    • GT-500 Rear Lower Control Arms ( Higher Durometer Rubber)
    • Unique Electronic Stability Control® (ESC) Tuning
    • Unique Sport Steering Control Setting (EPAS)
    • Tire Mobility Kit Replaces Spare Tire

    It isnt really that much lower at 1" front and 1.5" rear but the overall look is so much better than stock. Car should come from Ford like this. I figured the Sportsline kit (1.3" front and 2" rear) would sacrifice too much ride quality.

    Id go with sportlines but they won't clear a 305/35/20 mt DR, which is what I plan on using in the rear. Pro kit it is!

    Brembo® makes brakes.
