Kyle, Josh, Margaret,

What is the official specs on these springs featured in this group buy(Eibach) I'm reading several different heights.

Can you guys clarify this for all.

I emailed Margaret, and those are the numbers she replied with. Those are also the numbers on Eibach's website (2.5, 3.5).

Yup, according to their site, those numbers seem to be correct. It's good to see Eibach finally getting with the times. Traditionally, Eibach Pro-Kit has always been an even 1" drop, front and back. The Altima desperately needed a bigger drop up front than the back because it is so imbalanced.

Oh Man...that's gonna look awesome! Can't wait to get 'em in and get 'em installed! I hope the cambers is going to be ok, but when adidas2go got his installed, he stated that no camber adjustment were needed!

Even though it might not be needed, its a good idea to get an alignment. The money you spend on it eventually pay off with a longer tire life (even wear).

i took a ruler and measured the gap from my tires to the fender and 1.5/1.0 drop will look PERFECT! Hopefully no rubbing required, lolz

I would imagine so since the very first batch is Feb 22nd and production predicted around mid march. I would order early so you can get it when it ships cuz your credit card won't be charged til it ships anyway

Can someone pleeeease give me a rough estimate on how long this will last? I really don't want to miss this, but since I just finished my audio upgrades, I don't need to pull the trigger on this unless I have to. I am DEFINITELY still in though!

6385.140 - 3.5L Coupe - 1.5" Front / 1.0" Rear6386.140 - 2.5L Coupe - 1.4" Front / 1.0" Rear

6381.140 - 3.5L Sedan - 1.4" Front / 1.2" Rear6382.140 - 2.5L Sedan - 1.4" Front / 0.8" Rear

Install should be easy. Especially the rear springs. No way I would pay for someone to do it LOL.

As of right now the group buy will be lasting until Mid-March.

We're saying mid-March because we aren't sure when Eibach will be shipping all of the kits to use yet. They tell us mid-to end of March. So we're just passing that along. We will give everyone a full week notice before ending the group buy.

miamicoupe wrote:Well, I placed the order last week over the phone after getting a phone call from Nick (if i am not mistaken), he posted the charges already on my account, needless to say that I canceled my order that i had with my local vendor and told this to Nick. I asked him to send me an email notifying the transaction or confirmation, but still got not respond. Now that i see you guys in this forum mentioned about ordering online and getting emails confirmations i got confuse because I asked Nick if it would be better to do so online and he said that he could take the order over the phone to do it faster..?? I spoke with you guys over the phone a couple times, I believe some Nate guy or so (i dont have the names very clear), so please let me know if i'm on the list since this Nick guy gave me a lower price than the publiced on your site and I questioned about it and he said that you guys have a "deal" kind of debt that Eibach have with Stillen....Please, money is out of my account but no email with at least a reference or confirmation....will appreciate some info. Thanks.
Sir,

I have checked your order and everything seems to be good. Nick probably hasn't sent you a follow-up email yet because these haven't shipped. I'm sure as soon as they ship he will follow you up with tracking information.

i am happy that it will not be an even drop because now we won't loose as much power with our fwd. Also we should get better traction and less wheel spin when we get our stillen turbos!!! LOL

To update you all, it looks like Monday they will have most of the 3.5L coupe/sedan springs available for us to pick up, and the 2.5L coupe/sedan's ready the first week of March.

We'll be driving the van out first thing Monday to pick them up, and work on getting as many out as possible that same day. All who's ship will be emailed, so give us a chance to email before you bombard us. :D

Looks like we're on the home stretch..
