Update pics of Eibach lowering springs

Minicobra1 · 03-20-2009, 03:22 AM

So the Pro-Kit is a progressive rate spring, correct?
It probably feels a bit smoother on the small stuff, and then you have a bit more of a jolt on the larger hits.
At least that's how my last 2 cars felt with the Eibachs. Hopefully the stock struts can handle the re-bound damping, does the car feel under-damped or bouncy??

Thanks :-)

Can't wait to see it once the springs have had time to settle.

So your basically saying that the ride feels exactly like stock? Or close to stock except with less body roll?

BTW these are perfect. Exactly what I was waiting to see get rid of a little wheel gap. Can ride out the stockers or still upgrade. Looking forward to the picture of the 20's under these.

What does that number suppose to mean? Is that ordering number for 370z spring?

The springs don't settle. What typically happens is the bushings in the suspension settle. Best way to avoid this and get the alignment right the first time is loosen the suspension points and allow the car to settle. Then tighten it up and do the alignment.

If you think about it you wouldn't want to buy a spring that compresses as a function of time.

Those look pretty good

nice drop.

Josh@STILLEN · 03-20-2009, 07:00 PM

The Eibach's should be ready April 10th or so.. we're bringing in a bunch.. and taking pre-orders..

ArtVandaleigh · 03-21-2009, 04:35 PM

I wonder how the stock shocks/struts will handle this drop? The stance does look great though.

Shocks and struts should be fine with a minimal drop like this, but I'd be really suspect that a camber kit wasn't necessary.

Remember there is virtually no factory adjustment for camber or toe on these cars, and you're changing the suspension geometry by lowering the vehicle.

G's and Z's have always had camber issues, tire feathering from the factory, got better after 2005.. but the minute you drop it, you should consider camber/toe options, or watch your tires disappear magically before your eyes.
