Eibach coils and Sways installed (2013)

Super Werty · 11-24-2013, 07:27 PM

I did the sways about 2 months ago and loved them and finally had time to do the coils. The Z feels complete now and I love it. Ride feels exactly like stock until you take a hard corner and it is completely flat and stable. Looks killer too!

Having never done suspension work on any vehicle before, I found the install to be very simple for all of the parts.

Front camber is -1.6 (actually maybe -1.4) and the rear is -1.8. I like it for now but I may take the rear to like -1.4 eventually. Front sway on stiffest(front-most hole) and middle on the rear bar. SPC camber arms were needed, but not the toe bolts

Also did the Z1 MAF tubes and AFE Pro dry S filters...my butt dyno says thank you

Next up I need exhaust and then some wheels! And then turbos!!!!

So you have SPC rears and those numbers are from an alignment shop?

Yes. I had read originally on the forum that - 1.8 was ideal for the rear and then afterwards found out - 1.0 to - 1.4 was ideal for rear. do u have any suggestion? I can bring it back for free... Made friends with the manager at a shop

Depends on what you want to do with it. DD, -1.0 to -1.4 think would be fine. Track, I have mine set to -1.7.

Once you get the bug. You're done. There is no 12 step program to help you stop.

Well ideal depends also on the front. And to me and everything I have ever read, ideal needs to have more negative in the front then the rear. Normally people shoot for -1.0 more in the front. Since you're at -0.2 more in the rear, I'd change that to anything below -1.6. -1.0 to -1.4 would work. If you're not tracking, less is better for tire wear and if you like to straight line sprint, less is better since you'll have more traction. However that also depends on springs and such since rear end squat changes alignment.
