Eibach Sportlines???

[AkAd3MiKs]

Does anyone know why Eibach didnt come out with the sportlines for our coupes?

[theoctopussi]

nope, eibach said they're not considerin these anymore... the ride would suffer too much - according to them. I just think they're waitin to make their money back from the proline R&D. LOL

eibach didn't spend much on R&D for the prokit. the turn around time on them having blakes car was a really short amount og time. I'm sure they simply measured the oe springs checked the rates and wah lah. the prokit! if the car continues to sell there will more than likely be a sportline in the future.

[theoctopussi]

oh reeeeally? hmm... I think they're the same springs from the 06 models with a different spring rate... I'm sure that's what it is... cuz new platform or not, the struts look exactly the same as my 06... I'm tempted to try 06 tein coilovers

[adidas2go]

Turnaround time on the prokit was 1 day. They didn't spend much to create the kit. They had used STILLEN's car about 4 months before mine, to get the beggining numbers, then mine for the final install.

I just think they're waitin to make their money back from the proline R&D. LOL

Do you know what your talking about here bro? The Altima Coupe Prokit was one of the highest selling lines eibach makes for the last 2 quarters. They have made their money back. The ride would suffer a lot with the sportlines, and would be far to low to the ground to drive without hitting the frame on almost everything. If I go over a speed bump, and dont control my speed going over the other side, I will scrape the frame everytime. Thats going about 1-2 mph. Imagine how hard the frame would hit being an inch closer to the ground. It would be more harm that reward.

Then try it hotshot. When your coil losens out and your suspension gives way to the pavement at 70 mph, let us know because, Fox Marketing already did this. The end results were shakey contact points and a clicking coming from the strut being lose.

[theoctopussi]

tight, thanks for the Eibach Quarterly report lol... and yeah, I'll prolly try it, cuz that 1.4 is death.... and I am a hotshot. lol ... all my cars have been lowered to the stocks, and I never scraped, maybe with this new d-platform it will, then you can tell me I told you so.

[adidas2go]

Ya, the eibach quarterly report was brought out for your blatant ignorance

1.4" is death Sending your car into the highway because you slip a strut, thats death.

Do you have the prokit? Ever driven an altima coupe with a prokit? Obviously not since you have no idea of what you speak. Well let me enlighten you. The frame protector is an inch lower than my STILLEN fascia. That means, the lowest part of the frame is about 3 inches off the ground with the prokit, on 19" rims. Keep the stock rims, and your even lower. For the love of god, call TEIN before you do this and see what their tech reps say.

[dldjros69]

Blake you have been behaving for so long, and then this

Do you know what your talking about here bro?Then try it hotshot

Yes yes i love it.

I have the nastiest speed bump outside my apartment complex, If i mess up just a bit i scrape the heck out of the frame protector. I have to go over sideways.

blatant ignorance

[adidas2go]

Well, hes gonna come on here and knock a company that I am involved with. I'm not holding back. His statements define ignorance. Not a put down, he really doesn't know what he is talking about with Eibach.

[dldjros69]

I have the springs they are amazing, i noticed the boost in performance.

1.4 and 1 inch drops are more than enough.

Dont hold back, its no fun that way.

[Forrest80]

how often do you scrape on stuff? and your just useing the normal eibach kit? nothing else to lower it?

[adidas2go]

If you tackle dips and bumps at angles you wont scrape at all. I scrape every once and a while.

[AkAd3MiKs]

this is some funny sh*T.......man some of us guys that loves their ride low is already used to all those scrapes and what not. We know better than to drive straight when it comes to a speed bump. I believe Fox Marketing said that it "HAD" a squeeky noise from the struts but they got it fixed. Driving around with that kinda squeek and not doing anything about it is kinda stupid. FM got it going man, theyre not newbies man, they know what to do. Sh*t for them even thinking about trying to use the springs from the previous altimas and making it work is pretty genius right there. When he said 1.4" is death, I think he was talking about the height man. Like I said before, that drop isnt enough for some of us guys. Theres still a gap between the fender and the wheels and that look just doesnt look right. As for us calling Eibach weak and stuff.....man thats all for fun man. We were just playing around making stupid comments. So chill out and grab a beer.

[AkAd3MiKs]

Yo theoctopussi go try it out man and let us know how it goes. If its all good and stuff man, Ill go buy a set and then finally start on my project. I got so much plans for the car but that drop is whats holding me back. I usually start with the drop first before I do anything else.

No, Fox did that on their car because, at the time, nothing else was available... we had a thread on here a while back that included a conversation Greyzone had with a leading suspension company, and it warned about the immense danger you can put yoursel (and your car) in by using springs not spcifically designed for a vehicle! And all for an extra .5"

[dldjros69]

start with the drop first before I do anything else.

so you havent upgraded to eibach yet???

I dont think i could drive my car with out the drop.

[AkAd3MiKs]

man to tell you the truth....I dont wanna waste my money on a drop that wont even satisfy me. I know some of you guys like that drop but like I said earlier that aint enough for me. Why spend $300 now and then remove them after a better drop comes out? Who knows, a new set could come out in just a few months. Everyones got their own taste man. Same reason why the Artisan or Fox Marketing didnt change their springs to the eibachs. Like you guys said, it has a squeeky noise (which I still believe they got it fixed) but hey they got the drop that they want and theyre keeping it.

[adidas2go]

Thats because Artesian and Fox's cars are both pure show cars. Thats why they are keeping it. They have driven on the road very very little. The first car Fox did, they cut the springs. Put these springs on your car as a daily driver, and you will the risking you car, end of story. Tein is starting development on Monday for their own kit. Watch for that story.

Yea thats kinda what I had planned for my car too. Pure car show and drive it a few times here and there. Its been 7 months already and I only have 1606 miles on the car. But um yea man if what you said about Tein starting development on monday is true then damn man.....that just puts a BIG smile on my face. Thanks for the info man.

[08altima35]

okay. for the last time. neither of the fm/artisan alty coupes had cut springs. both cars were fitted with springs meant for a different application, but neither were cut o.e. nissan spings installed for show purposes. also, brian drives the precision grey alty coupe all the time and hasn't had any issues with it yet to speak of.

I can't wait til you get those Tein's.. at that height, your ride's gonna go to $hit on the stock struts and shocks, actually, I don't even think they suggest using stock shocks and struts with a 2" drop... ... and please stop mentioning Fox and Artisan's cars.. you can't compare show cars to daily drivers... if you are creating a show car (which I highly doubt) then go for it, but if this is your daily driver, do us all a favor and spare us the time it'll tak us to post "I told you so"

[AkAd3MiKs]

What if I liked how the artisan car looked and wanted to make my car kinda similiar to that? Man we're talking about the drop height here and I love the drop on their cars and thats Im trying to go for. Thats why I mentioned their cars. So whats wrong with that? You guys been bashing on their cars for so long. They mentioned back then that theyve been driving their cars for so long with that drop and had no problems but you guys kept saying its dangerous and sh*t. What if I wanted to create a show car and drive it as a daily driver? Then what? Man....go ahead and tell me I told you so. No matter what height you drop your car, your struts and shocks will wear out soon anyway. You make it like I'll be using stock shocks forever.

[adidas2go]

If you have progessive rate springs, like Eibachs, then you don't have to worry about your stock struts giving out in any unreasonable amount of time

I was misinformed. I apologize. I could have sworn he said they have an ominous slipping sound coming from the front struts and they didn't drive it often because of such.

[mcheddadi]

I'd remove the springs all together. Dampers only is the way I ride. Super low to the ground.

[dldjros69]

Question for everybody!!! Is the Eibach drop really that insignificant. Why do people besides AkAd3MiKs complain about the drop. Hmm 4x4 for the next 6 months or go with the eibachs for an instant improvement overall???

[adidas2go]

Well, look at Mehdi and I's signature pictures. Does it seem as low as you would like it?

[mcheddadi]

yeah you can click my sig for a bigger version. I would definitely not go lower with all the potholes and the snow. plus my tires fill out the extra gaps quite nicely

[tuffmag]

Well, hes gonna come on here and knock a company that I am involved with. I'm not holding back. His statements define ignorance. Not a put down, he really doesn't know what he is talking about with Eibach.

Yes 2go has been on his best behavior since become the article manager BUT....He is also correct that guy is a young Punk is showing his Arsh….

You can spot the young guys out here on the forum by what they post and I just laugh, but this time he has gone overboard on his lack of knowledge.
