EIbachs came in!!!
 

hey everyone... my eibachs finally came in... ill borrow my friends camera and try to do a DIY for installation of eibachs... :tup: but as of right now... :happydance: im so happy imma kill that fender gap...

good luck with the front spring compression on a DIY! have another vehicle available to bring the spring/strut combo to a shop to get them swapped out just in case!

In for pics :)

GL in for pics! I have done this type of swap a half dozen times not really that hard. Just make sure you have a spring compressor to remove and replace them springs ;)

Mike :tup:

ive done this quite a few times but mostly hondas lol.... :ughdance: umm i think itll be the same thing though take out strut compress stock take out... compress eibach and lay it in correctly

when will u have pictures up...i wanna see if its really worth getting the springs.

Its the same thing...you can always just do it the old fashioned way and have your buddy push them down while you get the hat on :) Reward him with a beer. All is good.

congratulations, I've never been a lowering spring kinda person. always went with coils

ya, just be careful with those fronts since a few on the forum haven't been able to compress them enough with a general spring compressor to get them off. Mike (the powdercoater) had to take his to goodyear to get the springs swapped for $40.

hey everyone... i decided to not do a diy its to fuckin hard for a person with no mechanical skills to do this... i got to compress on driver side and installed it... it wasnt that hard to compress the springs takes a lil thinking though... i got bad news... :shakes head: the bottom nut holding the strut in place was rounded of by me when i decided to use the impact gun... sigh... thats not where it ends... i freakin just got rear ended like 30 mins ago the dood ran away!!! pissed me off!!! so i chased him and got his plate number ... dumass was proly drunk thas why he ran... haha funny part was... an toyota echo... cannot out run a z :roflpuke2: on a straight away... wat an IDIOT... at least start turning into the alleys or something... ugh...

sorry to hear :( cheer up :D

damn dude, REALLY glad you got a plate number though, and that no one got hurt! Hope to see pics of the car dropped (with a new rear bumper) soon!

ya man... :shakes head: guy makes me irritated...

alright up date on springs... after the round off the nut i took it to a shop and they got it done... it looks... just a tad bit lower... i would give it a 8outa 10 my only complaint is the front is higher than the rear?!? :shakes head: hopefully it settles and it looks level... btw... my mud flaps came in and the guy dedided to put them on for me for me sooo i guess i cant do a DIY on the drop or the flaps cuz i have no pictures wat so ever... also my nismo black shift knob :happydance: feels nice... had to break the stock one though... haha no way saving that one..

:pics: !

gotta get a camera first... ill post them when up...

Not with Eibachs you wont...youll still be left with almost 3 fingers of gap...

^^really? any other springs that go lower? i dont want to spend on coils

well..... not three fingers..... look at the pic... it practically flush.... i can only fit one finger in those... front and the rear is a lil lower... if the front was like half an inch lower it would be sooo sick... and i dunno if u would want anything lower than that for normal driving i am scraping the crap out of my chin spoiler.... and i already scraped the bottom of my bumper... anything lower would leave u slowing to a full stop angleing ur car just to go over a speed bump.... :shakes head:

tru. i'll proly get myself some eibachs. this car is begging to be lowered a little. are u gonna put spacers too?

yes.... but after camber kits... :tup:

No camber kit for me......BR coilovers only...looks about as low as yours, simota:

modded smurf indeed. looks so good. u should get those side skirt things that venaci has.
on topic tho, that drop is perfect!

Thanks! :tiphat: I'm hoping to get those CF B Pillars and the CF Front and Rear Valence. Side skirts....hmmmm.....not a bad idea! Dont want to overdo it, tho......the appearance of just the wheels and tires make for a nice "sleeper" car. Oh....and I already get looks from the cops. Like this > :eek: and then this > :mad: "I wanna pull THAT one over!"

:icon17:

I really like the look. Solid choice in coilovers!

2theextreme... ur own is wayyyy lower than mine... urs looks sooo sick i hope my eibachs settle down to like ur stance... thats the perfect stance in my opinion... :tup:

btw... id kill for those skirt spats venaci has.... thats on my wish list for my z.... :shakes head: gotta save up first....

no need, eibachs lowers the car.. it doesnt make the car have a slammed look....

wat do u mean? itll get high when i get camber kits?

he's saying you aren't dropped enough to warrant a camber kit, but even eibach's produce nearly 3 degrees of negative camber in the rear. I'd still suggest the camber kit myself.

o ok.... :D ummm i think i need one for the rear... the front camber is minimal the rear... is noticable...

LOL. sleeper in a electric blue Z! that screams fast. the side skirt things are really not flashy...subtle, but sexy.

:iagree: rears need it kinda bad.

dont worry phelan i was gonna get the rear camber kit first cuz u can tell it cambers more.... plus its the cheaper camber kit lol.... the front is just... :ughdance:
