Maybe I just got unlucky (struts blew after only 2k miles on the Eibachs and less than 20k miles on the car), but just a word of caution as I had to learn the hard way and now have a set of Eibach ProKit springs I need to unload. Good luck to all and enjoy the weekend!

Thats insane. I am on even lower and stiffer MMR springs. The car barely had 400 mi when i installed them .
Anywho, I am not to concerned with the blown struts. I am so looking forward to the EVO SE
How do these EVO SEs fare vs the oem+springs? Ride quality and agility / cornering wise?
