Eibach group buy interest poll...

[ESP]

$400 for mounting tires and an alignment?!?! Yeesh...Great price for the springs install though!

I've searched around and haven't found a price as good as Stillen's...right on guys!

[Sith LL_Coupe]

Sith i think my tech will install both for around $200 if your interested.Welcome to the LOW LIFE!

Thanks for the offer LBC... I actually have a friend who owns a shop 5 mins from my house that does all my painting and install work. I got the Stillen Front Lip and Mustach painted and installed for $150 and he's telling me he'll install the Sway Bar and Springs for same price ($200). I'm tempted to take him up on his other offer of a clear bra (it would come up a little bit past the headlights) for $500. With the terrible roads in NYC and the winter and salt coming... I'm tempted to get it. Just figuring out where I will come up with the cash.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Dude.. a bra that doesnt cover much.. well is a cheap bra! (and slutty at that)

You need it to cover 60% of the hood, or its useless IMHO..

STILLEN GB FTW! It seems like only yesterday i participated in the OG GB!

For the Canadian owners,

I emailed Stillen and got a reply back, shipping to Vancouver is $30, and of course this does not include taxes / duty. Does anyone have any idea how much I'd get hit on the tax / duty part if i were to pull the trigger? I'm contemplating this vs. a shipping company in the states just across the border since I'm so close.

For anything that I've brought across the border in the $200 range, UPS has charged me between $50-70. My splitter (which is an "oversized" item) cost me $195...and UPS nailed me with an extra $88 upon delivery.

[LegendRacer]

yea i called stillen a while ago, they told me the cost for shipping the eibach cost 60 bucks... totally not worth it

60 bucks i could ship a 50 pound, 50inch long tint film roll...im pretty sure the eibach kit is smaller and lighter... and it was shipped by USPS meaning NO DUTIES are required

i think il just buy the eibach somewhere else, i end up paying 250 at stillen, when they say its a "sale" i find it the im getting ripped off so il just pay regular price for 240 (including shipping) on ebay or something

[kyle@stillen]

As you guys have seen shipping can range anywhere from $30 bux to $60 bux going to Canada...And, depending on the location it could go even higher than that.

I am talking with my manager's about different ways to accomodate our brother's of the North. I will see what we can come up with but I don't want to promise anything. In reality shipping to Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii has always been a pain and expensive venture...If it's not UPS trying to get big money it's the Canadian government dipping into the wallets.

[ESP]

Kyle, that would be fantastic. I love shopping with you guys and your customer service is second to none. The deals that you give us are phenomenal and I'm pretty sure nobody on here with half a brain blames you guys for the hassles in shipping stuff up north.

I'm just a little confused on the whole NAFTA thing though...if parts (such as body kits, etc) are made in the US, we shouldn't have to pay for duty on them when they come up to Canada...right?

[Alt.ImaCoupe]

Thanks Kyle,

Very much appreciated.

No duty on goods manufactured in the US, but you can't get around taxes (GST) and brokerage fees that UPS will charge to clear the package through customs. The taxes of course depend on value, but the brokerage fees are more consistent in my experience. I bought an exhaust system from Stillen several months ago. The exhaust cost me $1,000, shipping was $170.00, and taxes and brokerage fees were $125.00. So if the tax was $50.00 for GST (the federal guys won't collect a provincial tax unless you're in a province with HST), that means brokerage fees were $75.00. As a comparison, Canada Post, as slow as they are, charges $5.00 to clear a package through customs.

So for your Eibachs, you're probably going to pay $150.00 on top of purchase price to get them to your door in my limited experience.

[LongBeachCoupe]

bUMP

[LegendRacer]

il order my eibach later... winter soon, plus the price the gave me was 250 shipped and its thru UPS which means i may and probably will have to pay duties and such

i can order it at another site (cant recal the site name) for around 230 shipped.... so il just hold off til later

[Infantry1327]

Hear is a few pics of my car with the new eibach kit installed. Thanks again kyle and everyone at stillen for hooking us up and as always excelent customer service.



If you havent allready, you guys need to get on this before the group buy ends.

[Alt.ImaCoupe]

That looks great! What are your initial impressions in terms of handling and ride quality?

[Infantry1327]

It rides really smooth. Once I put the 20's on the ride got a little ruffer but as good as the 20's look, it was worth it. The handleing actually feals better, and it handled better and felt just as smooth for the day I had the drop and my stock wheels.

I would defenetly reccomend getting the eibach kit.

[kyle@stillen]

To touch back on the Canadian shipping topic...

We talked about it again today and we have a few ideas on how to handle this in the future. Unfortunately we might not have a definitive solution until AFTER this group buy. This new program would be part of a new BIGGER program that is about to be put into place.

[JDRosenberg07]

Im down for a kit for the 2.5... but i have to wait a while cause of my lack of funds.

Can't wait... cuz eventually I'll want the RSB to compliment the Eibach springs

[imdavit]

im down for it, what exactly do i do for group buys cuz its my first time lol

[dldjros69]

You do nothing but laugh all the way to the bank.

If you buy the springs during the allotted group buy time, then you just purchase the springs from stillen and the price will come off automatically.

Stillen will check to see if the card is valid, and will charge you the groupbuy price when they ship the product.

[imdavit]

awesome thanks a lot!

[Infantry1327]

Just call in the order and tell them you are with the nicoclub group buy, then they will adjust the price accordingly

[crayzitalian3]

hey is this still goin on, because i might just place the order if it is. i was lookin to get these before the end of the year, and if the group buy is still in session, ill deff order once i find out!

[Infantry1327]

It is going on untill the end of october. I believe the 2.5 springs might still be on back order until the end of the month. Just call stillen to find out an estimate on delivery date.

[08coupedriver]

This is a nieghbor of mine, this guy is in desperate need of a pro-kit

Don't mean to thread jack Go stillen! My order is comin soon

[mrodrig2]

Hear is a few pics of my car with the new eibach kit installed.

Are the front and rear lowered equally or is the front higher?

[dldjros69]

The front is lowered 1.4 inches and the rear is lowered 1 inch.

If my memory serves me correctly i think the front end is still a little bit higher than the back. i could be wrong about that im not to sure of the rake.

[rcboy514]

Just got my kit in yesterday and I put on the rear springs, thanks to Wind's DIY the install was a breeze...i bet I could pop a wheelie if my car was rwd lol even with only one inch drop in the back it still looks pretty goofy. Im going home in a bit to install the front, hopefully the struts wont be a PIA. Then I can post PICS!!!!

[dldjros69]

Ha nice work rc. The fronts will be a pia. i think the first front that i did took me about 4 hours. We had a crappy spring compressor. My dad went and got a different more high quality compressor and the rest was easier.

[Strik3r69]

Ok....I've just received my eibach spring from stillen...i'm going to have it install...my question is after it's installed..do i need allignment?? THanks guys..
