Eibach

Minicobra1 · 03-04-2009, 11:14 AM

What's your initial impression on ride quality? do you think the stock shocks have enough rebound damping to handle these springs?

One thought I had was to purchase the Nismo shocks/springs and use the Eibach springs with the Nismo shocks as opposed to going with a more expensive coil over set up. The Nismo shocks should have stiffer damping.
This could turn out to be a pretty affordable street set-up.

Hey guys fiirst off the bulbs are the stock bulbs!!..

the ride quality is great!!.. you can definetly feel less roll and drve a lot more aggressively.. i dont know much about shocks but from the feel of it i think the stock ones work just fine..

eibach also made sway bars for the car, but i am awaiting for the final product so i can fully test out the suspension. Also the coilovers are coming soon in the future estimated to start in a month or 2

proportioned wise hard to tell exactly but the back seems lower than it should.

DJcuetip · 03-04-2009, 05:13 PM

i think the back is perfect.. the front is a lil higher then it should be.. they are adjusting the spring as i speak around .4-.6 inches

man ur such a tease. those pics arent the best man! i cant see where the gap is, all i can tell is ur stockies are so tiny now, and the front is high?

cool man keep us updated (with day-time pics please)

DJ, how are they 'adjusting' the front springs?

DJcuetip · 03-05-2009, 03:08 AM

i believe they are re doing the whole front spring.. changing the compression rate and everything. When I took the car to eibach they tore apart the suspension and did measurements on all of them.. I will here from them within the next couple days..

Minicobra1 · 03-11-2009, 05:20 AM

DJ, any new updates?
