Can we talk about the Eibach adjustable suspension parts?

[timothy.kelley86]

So I have an 08' M35 Base, lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit, and adjusted back to normal alignment specs with the following:

Eibach Adjustable Upper Control Arms
Eibach Rear Camber Kit
Eibach Rear Toe Arms

I get an alignment, my car drives straight for 3 weeks, and then I am back to an exaggerated pull to the right. Is it these nasty New England roads? Could struts be a factor? Are the adjustable parts more prone to get whacked out of spec? Is there anything I can do to fix this problem permanently? Will my 15mm spacers help this problem (once installed)? Thoughts?

I need some help, I have an 06 m35 sport on 20 inch mrr Hr3 silver staggered dropped on eibach springs. I should have went 9.5 all around,.now I'm kicking myself in the ads cause I didn't. I was thinking to just add a 15mm spacer in the front to even things out a little better. But can I do this without changing control arms and all that other good stuff? And mostly would it be safe? Any help appreciated

I would post a pic but I'm a little computer illiterate, not sure how to

get the front and rear sway bar links and front outer tie rods replaced. Depending on the life of your front struts, you may need to change those out as well. once you get those in place, you should be good to go....makes a big difference.

Thanks CPJ, EXTREMELY frusterating dropping $1200 on a custom suspension and not being able to enjoy it!!!! I will try this and report back with my findings, I am just about to break 88K so it might be about that time.

LOODA, do you have an AWD or base model?

Here's pic of front, a little to far sunken in for my liking, I was gonna go 15mm and 10mm in back but not usr if tears will be sticking out too far

Any advice , or should I just leave rear as is

LOODA car looks great as is. Just a bit of advice. If your post has nothing to do with the Original post open a new topic. It's frustrating to all when the topic and thread is hijacked.

timothy.kelley86 - Can you ask the alignment shop to use blue loctite as they set the adjustment bolts? That was another reason my tuner told me to stay away from the adjustable arms. One of the guys here had the OEM arms machined a bit to help bring the chamber in. That would be the way to go with a set and forget setup. What you have there my friend is a track ready suspension for quick tweaks on the fly

So what happened?

[timothy.kelley86]

dude... what happened is I failed at life and never went back to fix this...

Just did BBK and Sarona wing is being painted now. Custom headlights next and then I am back on fixing the alignment issue.
