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

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. :tup:

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. :ugh:

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

eibach..... lower than expected
 

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.

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

Where did you buy yours?

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 scraped everything with the oem springs.. -____-

Vert done
 

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:

^clean drop!.

This is my only complaint....they are soooo soft in the rear.

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.
