Hey all. This is my first post, but I'm having a problem with my recently isntalled eibach and I though this forum might be a good resource to get some help. I installed an eibach pro kit to my 2.5s coupe about a month ago. Since then I've been listeninng some strange noises on the car's suspension in the two front wheels. I took the car for service at the dealership and they didn't find anything wrong in the suspension, and they mentioned that the noises may be caused by the difference in the lenght of the OEM springs vs. the eibach.

Has anybody experienced this same problems with theit A/Cs, or does anybody has an idea why this may be happening?

like when you're going slow and you rotate your wheels, you get like a grinding sound right? I get that too sometimes.

Did you tighten all the bolts the right way go back and retrace your steps on the front 2 wheels did you cut off the bump stop the right legth......literally ide take it off and put it back all bolts and all and when you have the spring out make sure the top part is on the right way. We fd up on mine the first time we tried so we had to take it off and fix it......SPRINGS SUCK FOR DIY

Hey Josh,

Could you maybe describe the kinds of noises? Rattling, grinding...whooping...?

BTW, good to see someone in PR with a coupe! Last time I was there I kept looking for one, but alas...nothin'...

The only noise I heard where the Racingline Endlinks I installed when I put on my Eibachs. Sounded like metal on metal hitting in the front. You need a professional lift to raise the wheels up while under the cars own weight.

Just an Idea
