For Eibach owners, would you buy them all over again?

pty370z

Hi guys,

I will be getting a new set of wheels within the next month and I was planning to lower the car with Eibach springs because I just want a mild drop to close the gaps a bit..

In my specific case, a more aggressive drop is out of the question because of the streets in my country so that rules out H&R Springs..

My question arises, however, because I've been reading some posts about people complaining about the ride getting bouncy after a while which I'd like to avoid, for obvious reasons..

Could any Eibach owners chime in with some feedback..?? How many miles..?? Would you buy again or would you go a different route..??

I would greatly appreciate it.. Thanks!

I've had them on for 6k miles. Ride quality is holding up just fine. Drop looks perfect. Would definitely buy them all over again...but keep in mind that they only look ideal when combined with spacers.

Well, I'm gonna be swapping my stock wheels with aftermarket ones but keeping the stock tires until they need replacement (aftermarket wheels are 19" as well).. I will then be going with wider front and rear tires..

Hopefully I won't need spacers..

I agree here, same results, and I'm on 20mm spacers front and rear.

If the wheels you're getting are the same offset, you'll still need spacers regardless of whether or not you get wider tires.

Oh no, not the same offsets at all..

+12 rears and +22 fronts..

You might want to wait a few months, RS*R is coming out with some linear springs with about a 0.6" drop and they are stiffer than the Eibachs. Thats what I am getting.

I've had mine for about 4k miles and would definitely buy them again. For the price, the drop and ride quality was actually better than expected.

Any rubbing at all on the fronts during turns, bumps, or combination of both?

Only on aggressive driving, its fine for everyday driving.

for street use, even for some track use, I recommend them. Had them for 7000 miles but decided to switch to Tein Monoflex for the track usage.

I've had mine on for about two months, and I'm completely satisfied. Honestly, I don't know how other Z drivers in my area are able to go much lower. I scrape on everything.

There were quite a few z owners who said the ride quality was bad. Waiting for them to chime in.

hi,

just like to write you some words about my latest experience with eibach springs. i bought a kit some weeks ago whichwas supposed to bring the car down about 25mm in front and 20 mm in the back.

after installing the springs car looks already much more lower than the data from factory. scratching everywhere.

i write to eibach this week and explain the situation. they asked me to messure the car after lowering. the result: car is down in front 38 mm and in the rear almost 40 mm.

they told me, this is because of the higher weight of the 370 Z AT model.

they also told me, that every vendor who is selling eibach springs knows about this subject and they where told to explain this to customers.

i dont know if this is the truth. i just know that the drop is much more than the expected -25 / -20

From a Nismo owner's standpoint, I actually think the ride quality improved over stock and so did others that have ridden in my car before and after they were installed.
