Eibach or swift springs

[2005Q45inCali]

Got pricing for a set (all 4) for around 330 on the Eiback. Going for 1.5 inch front drop and around 1" in the rear. What do you thing is the best overall to match the stock springs in terms of comfort, driveability and reliability.. Swift or Eibach, or another brand?

I've heard if Eibach is the way to go to get the NF210 spring

eibach has a tendency to make their springs 10-15% stiffer than stock.. Enough so that you feel like it handles better but also isnt harsh......

Hard to go wrong with eibach springs, no matter what car you drive.

Where did you find Eibach springs for the F50? I was not aware that Eibach had springs for this car.

Please advise....Thanks!

"NF210" and the link you posted is for TANABE, NOT Eibach. Personally, I'd prefer Japanese springs on a Japanese car, which Tanabe's are. Go with the Tanabe springs, although I'm 90% sure they drop the front and rear the same amount. I got a set of Tanabe springs for my friends Lexus SC and it's an even drop. I'm pretty sure I can get you TEIN's which drop front more than rear, but they'll take a month to three months to even land here.

I know a guy at west coast customs who works with guys at Eibach and had them custom made for his M35 and will do the same for my Q... if i choose. Let me know and I'll put in word and get some made for you too.

I wonder if they'd bring back the Q45/G50 springs? From all "we" can find they're out of production and no one seems to have any left. They wouldn't sell a ton of them, but this would be their most concentrated market.

[2005Q45inCali]

well I can mention to my guy at West Coast customs.. Im sure if enough people are interested that they could work something out.

My car on Tanabe DF210...

Looks like you have five Sumo wrestlers in the car.

Now if your Eibach guys would wind me some springs that were 15% stiffer that maintained stock ride height......

car looks nice.

how pointless!!!

Anyway, with the F50 you definitely want to lower it more in the front than the rear..... Almost stock springs in the rear and lowering in the front.

I think that goes for many cars. I've noticed that the rear opening are shorter, possibly because the rears don't turn like the fronts do. And I lowered the front first, and the following week the rear. It had even wheel gap all around with just the fronts installed, but being that these are engineered as a matching set, I installed the rears.

That's why I like TEIN and H&R over Eibach or Tanabe. Both TEIN and H&R lower the front more than the rear - the way it should be.

[DuDro]

...however, I do not believe that TEIN and H&R make springs for the F50.

I think the Eibachs on my Q are 1" on the front and 0.8 in the rear!

I believe that is accurate.

Does anyone know if the 90-93 Eibachs will fit 94-96 Q's?

[Falkdesigns]

It's possible but I know for a fact that Eibach springs generally have an even drop.

[PIONEER]

On the Tanabi Applicaton chart, I don't see a Q45 listed. Is this a special order?

I would like to lower the front of my car some. But I also think the 05+ doesn't sag in the back as bad as 02-04 did.

I have been looking for springs for a long time...would like 1.5 inch drop in frontl...........let me know if you can get them for a reasanble price
