Eichbach compatibility - stock/Nismo shocks

cab83_750 · 02-20-2010, 03:55 AM

For those who upgraded to Eibachs, do you have any info on how long the shocks would last? Is it safe to assume that they Would last just as long?

How about from anyone who replaced their nismo springs with Eibachs? Same feel and performance? Are they compatible?

Thanks.

I am told that using shorter springs will shorten the life of a stock shock some. But the lower you go the harder it is on the shocks. With a .8" drop I would not worry about it. The shocks will last a while if not just as long as stock springs...

They will defiantly shorten the life span of the shocks. But I can tell you I had these springs on my 350 for two years (two years of aggressive driving) and never noticed anything out of the norm.
