Wes,You got a pic or two for the Eibach springs? I want to take a look to see how bad the condition they are..... If not I might be interested in the custom springs, email me VIPQ45@gmail.com P.S. Any of the 3 other owners of these cali custom springs have feedback on them? How are the springs (compare to stock or eibach)?? Thanks!!

This is a shot in the dark but do you still have the california custom springs and will they work on a 97 Q?

Hmm...they both look like a progressive wind. Are the center ones the fronts?

Wes,I was wondering how low does the California Custom Springs Lower the car. I am about to do a refit of my Q45A to the standard suspension and was wondering if I can use these.
Looking to buy 2007/2008 Altima Sedan 3.5 SE 17" wheels

ONe of the springs was sagging, the drivers side rear.. They were still OK i guess and you probably could put them on your car but they might be better to use as something to have another set made..... |
It was probably that nitrous tank weighing the car down. How much was the rear sagging? Woudl you send them to me for $50? If lowering springs are sagging, aren't they super lowering springs?

hey Chan..... I may be doing another group buy if theres interest..... Check the lowering springs thread in the Q forumjeff..... IT was acutally hte passenger side, the side with hte nitrous was fine (and it doesnt weigh much anyway)..... Im not going to sell them that cheap, sorry... They didnt sag enough for one to really notice, it took me nearly 6 months before i noticed and I bet with fresh rubber mounts no one would know the difference.

Wes;
While your Eibachs are very tired,in the past,Eibach has said they guarantee them to work properly PERIOD.They've replaced them for me(all four) and two others in the BMW club in the past,no charge except shipping.You may want to try sending them pics and current spring rates.They just may give you something back if you have the original paperwork.
Also need hood shocks for '97 Q45;do earlier ones fit?
