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

That is odd of eibach to say, considering the AT is a few pounds different than the manual version.

One thing to note: If you plan on installing any sort of high end stero (ie. Sub's amps boxes etc.) and you put them in the 'trunk', the rear of the car WILL squat on Eibachs. I know this for a fact as it happened to me, and this is now why I have to run stockers until I can go with coils. :ugh2:

I've got 3500 miles on my eibachs. I love em. ride quality at first wasnt all that impressive but after installing the front and rear camber armste ride quality and handing improved tremendously. Would I buy them again. yes but , I would make sure to get all the camber equipment at the same time. Without them the wheels bounced around on the freeway and I was experiencing snap oversteer. Scary

I bought mine from a Local shop who's also a Vendor here, Amplified Motorsport they also did the installation. I recommend buying, and doing the same if possible? If not buy and have reputable shop do the installation.

Agreed, im on the Tein S-techs and i also scrape my front lip thing on just about everything. I think lower would look better but its just to low to get around in my opinion.

I just got mine done and did a little "driving" with them:tup: Only issue left front rub when quickly decelerating and turning left on rough road. Of course that may have to do with the 250 pound weight in the driver seat LOL. I have H&R 20 spacers front and rear, stillens sway bars -back set to regular setting, the results :ughdance: Oh to answer the post question Ohhh Yeahhh!! Pic below: with previous also:

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

Ride quality is super soft to me....like a Cadillac. That is a good thing for some and a bad thing for others that like a nice firm ride.
