After initial testing on applications our main spring supplier (TME) didn't cover, we have been pleased with the performance of the Eibach springs and now stock all of their Volvo applications. The main difference between TME springs and our Eibach applications is that the Eibachs are progressive. Eibach Pro-Kit springs utilize a dual rate progressive design to be as soft as possible while still being as firm as possible. The smooth, softer initial characteristic improves traction and provides comfortable cruising while the sportier and firmer final rate reduces body roll and is more responsive under cornering, braking and accelerating. Eibach springs provide exceptional handling and precise vehicle responsiveness and stability with minimal effect to the ride quality.
