I'm sure this question has already come up and been answered, but can you use the Eibach Pro Kit with the stock SVT struts and get good results? Thanks.
Yes, you can, and I know of at least 1 CEG'er who's running that setup, his name is Jim his CEG name is SVT2k, I think. Ask him about it, I don't think he has any problems with that setup.
How many miles?
I was told by the BAT guy that you could be happy with, in this example, the ST200 struts with uprated springs for a couple of years (30k miles, tops) before the struts really wore out.
Yes, the Eibach is designed, from a spring rate standpoint, to be right at the max rate your stock setup can handle, but even they admit that, long term, you'd want to upgrade your struts as well.
From the Eibach website:
In reply to:
Eibach Pro-Kits are designed to work with original equipment shocks and struts provided they are in
good working condition.
Aftermarket performance shocks and struts will increase the overall performance of your suspension
and are also recommended for use with Eibach Pro-Kits.

...with special progressive characteristic of the Pro-Kit, the damper is
challenged more and usually makes it wear out faster.
