Eibach Springs & Spacers - Review+Pics

Minicobra1

Hey Curtis,

Sorry, haven't been on here in awhile.

1) Version 1, (stud replacement) safer, lighter, plus bolt on style doesn't fit
the front rims b/c the cut outs are not deep enough in the back to clear
the protruding studs.
2) Stud replacement
3) Front 15mm
4) Rear 20mm
5) 20mm will work fine on front, as far as going larger in the rear, 25mm
would work, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you plan on never going
wider then the stock 275mm tire. If you want to run wider tires I would
stick with the 20mm out back.
These are the latest pics that Berk took , this is after the SPC camber arms on the rear were installed. LINK: Berk Technology Cat-Back Coming Soon!

Hey Mincobra1, thanks for the great feedback.

I am thinking of going 20mm front and 25mm on the rears for wheel spacers. As I plan on keeping these Rays rims for a wheel. Wider tires on the stock Rays rims…geez now you got me thinking, maybe I should just stay with 20mm on the rears. Dunno…

Thanks for the pics, I saw those awhile back, and I cannot tell from the pics if the rears are flush, and I cannot see much on the front from those pics. Any new ones?

I am ordering a set of SPC rear camber kit, and hopefully I will not need to hog out the toe bolt. I did not have to install the toes bolts on my old 350Z with H&R springs (1.3 drop in front and 1.0 drop in rear) and Koni Yellow. Hoping to get away without having to install it, since I am not gonna be slammed with the Eibach’s. Will be holding off on the SPC Upper Control Arms since I heard the drop is not enough to require control arms. The parts should be at my garage (Z Car Garage of San Jose, CA) along with Berk HFC and the new Injen CAI. I already have the Nismo CBE so I am stuck with it for the time being. Oh...and an oil cooler, which is a must. ZCG will probably make their own oil cooler as they are taking on mine and the bros 370Z' as project cars along with their Red 370Z shop car. Rob Fuller already has labeld our cars as the 370ZBros...lol

So it’s a coincidence that we were thinking along the same line as far as mods go. Btw. I have the Platinum Graphite….no worries though I am NorCal and you SoCal …lol…but my roots are SoCal - San Gabriel Valley, HB, Riverside and OC.

Thanks for all your feedback, great thread!

Yeah, hard to say on the 25mm rears, I plan on running 305/30/19's like some others on the forum, It looks like it would be close to flush with that tire. The 275's go in a bit, so the 305's will definitely fill the fenderwell better.
There is a link below to Phimosis thread with pics, he has the 305's with 15mm, so 20mm with that size tire should look just right.
I didn't intall the toe bolt on my SPC, looked like the stock one had plenty of adjustment.
Once you get your HFC's on, you will start liking the Nismo CBE, it really comes alive after that. :-) I'm still switching to Berk when it's available, but the HFC's really make a difference. They are a little raspy when the car is cold starting out, but tends to go away once warmed up.
Good luck on all the installs

Thanks Braden, I think I am sold on 20 mm for the rears and when the tires go bald, then switch to 305's. And 20 mm for the fronts with 275's. Sounds like the way to go.

Good to hear about not needing to install toe bolt. I was hoping you would say that.

So what camber settings did you go with?


Can't wait for the Berk HFC paired up with Injen CAI on the Nismo CBE. Eventually I am looking at Fast Intentions exhaust and keep the Berk HFC.

Thanks
Curtis

I can't find my alignment settings, I thought I put them in my iphone, but not there, and I can't seam to find the receipt either Oh well, I plan on getting it re-done after I get new tires on, probably next month.

F.I. exhaust looks and sounds great I"m 50/50 on the muffler design though. I've been working with Bryan over at Berk, so I'll be going with their system as soon as it's available. I plan on doing some independent dyno testing, etc., I'll post up some video once it's done, I think they are shooting for mid sept/oct for delivery.
