[generic808]

Until the 15th.

How do i go about ordering the springs with the group buy?? I tried the link on the very first page but it doesn't seem to be working now....

[generic808]

"As with the Injen group buy, orders can be placed directly over the phone or on our website with a special Group Buy Coupon Code (EIBACHGB), and the amount will be adjusted after your order is placed. Your credit card will not be charged until the product ships, but it will be authorized to ensure all of the information is correct."

f**k it. If no one can help me answer this, then i just take my chances. I'll order these springs right now.

i don't think anyone's trying to not answer you, its just that its a toss up with the 2.5 Sedan. Eduardo is running 245/35/20 on his 2.5 Sedan, and he has rbbing issues over curbs and inclined turns...

another guy on cardomain said his dropped 2.5 Sedan rubbed if he hit bumps too fast...

another 3.5 Sedan has no problems, but the suspension is stiffer on the 3.5 vs the 2.5

So, the thing is, no one really knows, because every setup is different.. but to date, ALL of the rubbing issues that have occurred have occurred with the 2.5 Sedan! I didn't think mine would fit (20 x 8.5", +35 offset, 245/35/20 tires) but they are not rubbing at all. Looking at the way the tires sit, I think Eric was 100% correct in that, as the wheel travels, it goes in ever so slightly at the top... that plus the stiff suspension on the 3.5 A/C and A/C have been enough to prevent rubbing on these vehicles

So, go ahead and try it out, and let us know if it rubs ...

Well, so far I've been fortunate but I'm also running 18's and not 19's or 20's like some folks here. My setup: 18.x 8, 40mm w/ 245/45/18

the thing is, it makes no difference if its 18", 19" or 20"... the diameter of the tire is all the same with the corrrect profile tires!

245/45/18245/40/19245/35/20

all have 26.7" inch tires with 245 width.. so, essentialy, regarding potential rubbing issues, the vehicle sees the same setup on all three!

What's more important is wheel width and offset!

Again, it's not that 2.5 Sedans are destined to rub, its just that ALL rubbing issues that have been reported have been on 2.5 Sedans.. this just means that the other vehicles can get away with wider wheels and lower offsets due to their stiffer suspension. The 2.5 Sedans are not as forgiving and require higher offsets and lower width wheels to minimize chances of ribbing, especially with a drop

howdy,

Just to clarify, the springs will be fine with of course stock wheels on the 3.5 SE (17" alloy), but will they also be okay with winter tires/wheels (16" steelies)? I'm guessing the answer is NO pROBLEMO ORDER NOW!!!! but wanted to make sure.

thx

[adidas2go]

Yea unless you have mickey thompson's on your "winter steelies" youll be fine

Not to be the one correcting anyone but I think Doc. was talking about wheel width not tire width....

i have a question i got mine installed yesterday my friend did it for me and he mentioned something about the bump stop for the front 2 springs..that he didnt see any and he didnt know...whats up with that is it not necessary for the coupes or did we go wrong somewhere??

[windhaven]

Paki,

The bump stop is inside the dust boot on the strut. It needs to be popped out when the strut spring is off so it can be cut.

BTW - I didn't cut mine either, it's function is to stop the car from bottoming out, worst case is you bottom out a little early. Cut it too much and you bottom out and burrow a hole in your fender ....

[pakicoupe]

ok will do thank you...but do u recommend the allignment to b done before or after i fix up the bump stop?? because i was planning on doing tomorrow

[windhaven]

Paki,

Drive the car for about 100 miles before alignment. Seating the springs will occur during this time period.

After 100 miles get an alignment.

No real personal proof that this is best, just my choice. Most of the people that I consider expert on the subject have recommended this to me.

Hope this helps,-- Wind

I live in Maryland, what would the estimated cost be shipped with the discount? How long would it take since Stillen seems to be waiting on their second shipment?

[dangeris]

I live in PA and the springs cost under $200 to get them for me. I believe shipping was $10.00 and the cost of the springs were like 189.

[Team STILLEN]

The springs are in stock, will ship same day.. free shipping w/$9.95 insurance & handling charge..

The discount will be applied to your order after it's received.

Wind,

Thanks for the recommendation. I too was also curious as to when the alignment should be done.

[ch0w]

I just ordered them today! i saw that it was gonna end on the 15th and i had to get them! haha. I'm a 2.5er =] How much did it end up to be after the group buy? Anyone know cheap places to get them installed around So Cal, Riverside/Pasadena?

[WhaJac]

Just ordered mine, $189.95 plus $9.95 insurance. I also ordered the Injen intake based on the fact that they moved the sensor location or retooled the bends. That according to Nate at Stillen. Thanks Stillen

[LongBeachCoupe]

They changed the pipe? are you kidding me? Confirmation anyone?

[johnny_d]

i remember the 2.5ers said the latest batches of Injens got the MAF relocated to til to the side a bit so it won't rub

[LongBeachCoupe]

Thats cool.. so they send me a mis-matched set... then re-engineer the part so it doesnt cause issues... INJEN = MORONS

What's the price you paid for the intake?

[Team STILLEN]

ch0w.. keep in mind we do installs here at STILLEN in Costa Mesa.. Lowering kits are on a service special currently.. $200. Just an option.

[mpbclutch33]

There was a really good how-to just posted. If you are fairly handy and have little mechanical ability and the right tools, you can do it yourself. I always like to take a little longer and do it myself. If something goes wrong, I put it all together and know where to look. Just my 2 cents.

Hehe ... Some shameless self promotion here .....

They did move the Maf. I have 0 rubbing

[WhaJac]

I paid what is posted on the Stillen site, $238.16. I asked for a little discount to the GB price but was offered the *NEW* Stillen intake for $229 insted. I missed the GB waiting for a fix to the sensor location so for both parts I saved $20 off regular price.

How necessary is the alignment and were did you get it done?
