AYEE

got my eibach springs installed today!

ride and looks have improved, i was all scared about this but it turns out its really not that big of a deal and i have to say this mod is a must. Body roll is reduced quite a bit and the nose dip is gone when i brake. As for the bumps i dont really see a big difference compared to stock springs but thats mayb cuz i drove it for 40 min iunno. But overall me likey a lots and you should invest in these if u dont have em already!

here are some comparison shots :

Before:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

After:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

i just realized that the coupe is pretty high compared to other cars stock.

If anyone has a problem with me taking pictures after every mod i get lemme know LOL thanks

Yeah, I kinda noticed that too...

Lookin' good! Next mod: rims & rubber, yes? You'll REALLY notice an improvement in handling after that!

And that's not even the full drop. The spings have to settle a bit more and it'll get lower. I have the same package as you which means the same rims... and I really have no gap at all.

Hey guys. I also installed eibach couple months ago. I hear a "knock" sound under neath my car. I believe the noise come from my wheels. What can I do to fix that noise ? Thanks

I like the look on your car, but the Eibach kit now sucks in my opinion. Looking at the photos, I can't get in my driveway if I get it, so now I'm sad!

Time to see if I can figure out how to level out the driveway...

o man the ride is pretty bumpy lol but the turns and all that are so smooth, will the bumpiness reduce when i break it in after a few days.

is there a review on the eibach pro kit? could someone link me

i just bought the front/back endlinks and stillen RSB would this improve the ride quality or just make my turns feel awesome.

pop your hood and check the center bolt (the one that bolts the strut to the cup) make sure it's completely tightened down to where there's absolutley no gap left at all. even the slightest gap will cause the strut to move up and down and you will get a chanking noise.

don't strip the bolt though LOL.

if it's not that then you've got some other problem but I'm pretty sure thats what it is.

indavit car looks good man the drop was my very first mod on my a/c and it was well needed. my rides not really that bumpy but then again im used to extream drops that are really rough on the ride so that may be it. anyway cant wait to see what you do next. good luck

yea it will probably cost you a good chunk of change. My wheels and tires cost me nearly 2G's. And that is still on the cheep size. If you want a better ride quality get 18 or 19's. If you want the car to look amazing, get 20's. The best tire for 20x8.5 is 245/35/20.

Check out wheelwarehouse.com for all your wheel and tire needs. They are pretty much the cheepest site period. They don't display prices, so you will haft to email them. But if you find some you like, check some other wheel sites to get a ball park figure.(to make sure you arnt looking at wheels that go a G a piece) then email them and get a much lower price. Then use the price they give you to negociate at one of your local shops. Smaller shops are usually more willing to match and beat prices. I did exactly this and got my $3000 set up for $1850 shipped and installed
