As TRD springs are nearly impossible to find, I'm considering Eibach Pro-Kit springs.
Is anyone running them? What are peoples thoughts?
Cheers

I have tried both on my car using Koni inserts:
 
Ride height and ride stiffness:
Compared to stock '92+ springs, Pro-kits had about the same ride height but rode harder.
So you would not fit these to lower your car. They are supposed to be more of a 'performance' spring than stock.
 
I found TRD's springs rode harder than the Pro-kits and rode about one inch lower than stock '92+ springs.
With the reduced bump travel with these the car bounced a bit on large bumps and I found them a bit hard for daily driving.

I have used them Rick and they are pretty good. Nice and firm but not too firm and perfect for the track.

Thanks guys. Did you find the Eibachs any lower than stock 93+ springs Stuka? I was hoping for a slight drop from standard...

Eibach kits (particularly the Pro) were more geared around improvements in ride and handling, more than straight up looks.  It really depends on what you are hoping to get out of the car (bearing in mind that lowering them much more than around an inch results in garbage geometry and bumpsteer/sledging.)

I'm only wanting to lower it by half inch to an inch, but am mainly looking at improved track handling.

You'll find the Eibach's to be right up your street then.  They don't lower the car a whole lot, but the difference in ride quality will be instantly noticable :)

Thanks Graham.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Any recommendations on where to buy Eibach springs?

No better place than direct.
 
Pricing seems to have stayed stable over the last few years too.  Definitely worth a look.

Even cheaper than Eibach direct at 288USD

The priority Int shipping might cancel out the savings though.
