At this point Eibach hasn't even confirmed they will EVER be made, so a timeline is kinda impossible. Could be a year.. could be never.. Unfortunately that's the best I can offer as far as insight..

Yes Danny, we have a Lifetime Alignment Policy that is $169.99 for moststandard vehicles. Installing a suspension kit may change the specs orthe standardization of the alignment which may result in additionalcharges. I would suggest you call our Whitehall location @ 610-266-1006and speak to John Haas, the store manager, and explain the upgrade tohim so we can determine if we can properly perform the alignment. Thank you Vic Signorelli

Had my pro-kit installed today and I love 'em! I was worried that the ride would be diminished, even slightly because I had the pro-kit (non-progressive) on my Mazda6, and it did change the ride quite a bit.

I really think that the ride may be better than stock.

:::I am also waiting about 100 miles to do my alignment:::

Just thought it would be entertaining to share this. I was at the local nissan dealership getting my factory head unit replaced and decided to ask the service guy what it would cost to get these eibachs put on... he looked totally straight faced and me and said "that'd probably be about 5 hours, so around $625."



That's Napa Nissan for you.Anyone in NorCal bay area with an installer recommendation?

They don't call them stealerships for nothing.

Wind, how can you possibly expect them to work 2 whole hours on an empty stomach. A lunch break of 3 hours is a bare minimum. At $125/hr. they can't do miracles.

Dammit, there I go not thinking things through again ... I should really put myself in their shoes ,,,,, I aslo forgot we're talking about Napa, CA here. Lunch breaks require wine .... you know how much those specialty wines cost now days?

Stupid me......

Paki,

You're going to be in a bit of a bind. The bump stop is under the dust boot and behind the spring now, it'll be pretty hard to get at it and be acurate.

According to Eibach, you need to trim 25mm off from the bottom of the stop. This is on the instructions I have.

Warning, if you try to cut the stop while it is on the shiny part of the shock you risk scoring/scratching the shock which, can/may lead to fluid leaks. I do not recommend this approach. If you do, you have to be very careful.

Safest way to do this is to remove the strut, disasemble, and cut it while it is outside.

My springs will be here tmr, and I want the drop a little bit lower. The shop that works on my car says they can slightly cut the springs for a lower drop. Will this effect anything. They are very good so.

EXTREMELY unrecommended.. these are progressive springs.. messing with them in any way could REALLY affect the springs abilities..

I suppose the phrase "at your own risk.. " would be the best statement I could offer..

I've had the drop now for about 2 weeks and it has settled a little from my initial measurements. Still handles smoothly on the highways but when I take those off / on ramps spiritedly the body roll has greatly reduced thus being able to take the turns a little faster than normal. I love 'em! Now, if only my rear rims would come in, I'd have them on and I could take pictures of it for you guys!

Also guys... one of the reasons my car doesnt rub is that the camber of the situation is slightly changed and the wheels are on a tiny bit of an angle... allowing my tires to tuck. just an fyi
