Eibach Springs & Spacers - Review+Pics
 

Ok, here are the pics after I installed the Eibach Progressive springs and 15mm Ichiba spacers (rear only)

I think Eibach did a great job on the spring rates. The ride quality (comfort wise) is very similar to stock. I'd almost go as far as saying that it's actually a bit smoother on the small washboard stuff. The larger impacts are felt a little more, but it is not harsh at all. Handling has improved, it definitely feels more connected in the corners now. I'm sure the 15mm spacers contributed, but I installed the springs and the rear spacers at the same time, so I cant say how much of a difference the spacers made by themselves. I've travelled about 100 miles on these, many different roads, including the 91 Fwy (which is very choppy) and the car feels great. Took it to triple digits, with no vibration or harshness. The drop is subtle, about 1" front & Rear, there still is 3 fingers worth of clearance under the wind deflectors (ones in front of the wheels) so far srapping has not been an issue, but I always make it my intention to hit steep driveways at an angle.
Good job Eibach :tup: I think my next suspension upgrade may be sway bars, but I'm pretty happy with the ride quality so for, so I don't want to make it harsh. This is a very good street set-up, I'm sure it would help on the track, but I think if you were wanting to track the car, you would want something a bit stiffer. I had the springs and the spacers installed at Amplified Motorsports, hit Lou up, he will PM you a nice price.

Rep points please :tup:

Very nice man~!!

:bowrofl::bowrofl:

Looks awesome. I love the stock wheels with the lowering and the offset. I think you've sold me.

oh that does look good!!!

any pics with more of an angle to see how the rear tire sits w/the fender?

EDIT: just saw your other thread but i noticed you still didn't have the springs installed...so any w/springs installed?

That looks great. Congrats on you new mod!

I'm going to try to keep mine stock. the ride height is already pretty low and I want to drive mine in the winter (with dedicated winter tires of course).

But you don't need to worry about that since you're in Cali. Congrats on the mod!

WOW!! That looks GREAT man!

However, it seems like you might need to adjust the cambering in the rear.

all that is left is doing the fronts..you going for 10mm or 15mm?

That looks good. Will you be getting dampers in the future?

Do you think that you going to need cambers with the 1 inch drop?

Very nice. Do you think you will need an alignment after this drop?

I'll post another one up tonight ;)

I'm going with the 15mm, I think it makes sense to keep the ratio the same as they were stock. They are tucked in there pretty good, so the 15mm will look nice.

Not sure yet, but I plan on looking into that after I get the front spacers installed.

The car feels exactly the same (steering wise) if anything, I think it has improved. I will probably have a shop take a look at it, once I install the front spacers.
