MFG SKU: 4031.140
The Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs are a third-party suspension upgrade designed for all 2006-2011 Honda Civic models, from the base DX to the sporty Si. These springs lower your Civic’s stance—1.2" in front, 1.0" in rear—for better handling and a sharper look, all while aiming to maintain a decent ride quality. Here’s what you need to know to decide if this kit fits your car and driving needs.
What’s Included
- Springs: Set of 4, made from high-tensile (Hi-Ten) steel, cold-formed and shot-peened for durability.
- Drop: Front: 1.2" (30mm), Rear: 1.0" (25mm)—measured with factory dampers.
- Design: Progressive spring rates (softer at rest, firmer under load) for a balance of comfort and control.
- Warranty: Eibach’s million-mile warranty covers manufacturing defects (not wear or misuse).
Compatibility Details
- Vehicles: Fits all 2006-2011 Honda Civic trims:
- DX, EX, EX-L, GX, LX, LX-S, MUGEN Si, Si (FA5/FD2/FG2/FN2 chassis).
- Covers coupes, sedans, and hatchbacks (where applicable).
- Not Compatible: Non-Civic models or heavily modified suspensions requiring custom rates (e.g., extreme track builds).
Performance & Features
- Handling: Lowers the center of gravity, reducing body roll in corners, squat during acceleration, and nose-dive under braking—improves cornering grip and stability.
- Looks: Drops the fender gap for a sleeker, aggressive stance without scraping most driveways (ground clearance remains functional for daily use).
- Ride Quality: Progressive design keeps it tolerable on the street, though expect a firmer feel than stock—more noticeable on rough roads or with stiffer Si dampers.
- Fuel Efficiency: Slight MPG gains possible from reduced drag due to lower height, but not a primary benefit—results vary.
- Bonus: Part of Eibach’s Pro-Plus/Pro-System-Plus kits when paired with Eibach sway bars or shocks (sold separately).
Installation Considerations
- Skill Level: Professional installation recommended—takes 2-4 hours with proper tools (spring compressor needed).
- Alignment: Rear camber kit (e.g., Eibach 5.67467K) advised, especially for Si, to correct negative camber post-lowering—check local alignment shops.
- Fitment Check: Tested with factory dampers; aftermarket shocks may alter drop height or ride (verify compatibility).
- Note: Once installed, springs can’t be returned if used—confirm your trim and setup first.
Is This the Right Kit for You?
- Yes, if: You own a 2006-2011 Civic (DX, EX, GX, LX, Si, etc.), want better handling and a lower stance for street or light track use, and don’t mind a firmer ride.
- No, if: You need max comfort for rough roads, have a non-Civic model, or plan extreme drops (see Eibach Sportline for 1.5-2" drops).
Quick Checklist Before Buying
- Model & Year: 2006-2011 Honda Civic (any trim—DX to Si)?

- Engine: Stock K-Series (e.g., K20Z3, K20A3)?
- Driving Goal: Improved grip and looks, not just comfort?
