A morning at Eibach.
 

Hey guys... just dropped off my car at the Eibach factory in Corona, CA for "suspension development." Can't wait to see what they come up with... apparently there are plans for a coilover sometime down the road from Eibach.

suspension development a couple of times around the track with no user knowledge at WOT throughout. :p ;)

btw, why is your car white while your avatar says yellow? :rofl2:

hey, it's all for science! haha

edit: LOL ken i was just about to ask that :rofl2:

Where does it say yellow??? PW = Pearl White... I don't mind the testing if it get's me free suspension upgrades =P ... and she deserves to have her legs stretched on the track, that's where she belongs =) ...they were actually pretty upfront about the testing required.

yes, your avatar's kanji is 黄(き), or yellow.

wow thread derail...

アホやね。

Well the english description says: "Drives: 10 Nismo 370Z PW M6" LOL

So what kind of spring are they working on for the Nismo????

Oh... LOL! That's my surname, totally slipped my mind that it does mean yellow... also Uy in Fukien or Huang in Mandarin.

Are you taking them up on their free spring offer?

I am half Fukien and Chiu jow but full chinese lol.

For now they're developing lowering springs... they simply need all the specs of the stock suspension including the sway bars to properly do so... I'm picking her back up on Friday and would, more than likely, have to go back for final fitment testing of the prototypes.

Yes... the prototype suspension will be mine to keep.

I'm a bit of an Asian mutt =P

Nice, congrats.

I've been running their Pro-kit for about 4 years and have enjoyed it.

yep, prokit is what i use on my G35C. :p it's good stuff.

so eibach is re-doing their prokit for the 370Z? :icon14: or must be the package deal with dampers and sways. :D

Wouldn't a coilover require them to build the spring and damper assembly together? Are these springs just lowering springs solely for the nismo?

Thanks... maybe you'll get to check them out first hand at one of the SoCal meets if I can ever drag my *** out to one of them =P

What they plan to do is get all the specs of the stock suspension and double-check whether their existing Pro-Kit is appropriate for it... if not they will develop a Nismo specific kit.

^^ ahh, makes sense. cool.

I also toured the facility and learned quite a bit about their manufacturing and R&D processes... My kind host also explained why good springs don't "settle" and that settling is caused largely in part by improper installation.

did the kind host also say that their progressive rate lowering springs make your car handle better through quick switchbacks just because it's lowered? :D ;)

Nah... he forgot to mention that one =P
