Eibach Springs

[ReviT]

I jsut have a few questions. For spending 250$ on the springs or so how much would it increase the performance and safeness of the car and also how easy are the springs to install?

If you get in on the current group buy through Stillen, it'll be MUCH less than $250. And if you have to ask if it's hard to install, then I'd suggest you have a professional do it for you. Let's just say it's not like doing an oil change. You'll need to have your car lifted up, and you'll also need a spring compressor, which not many people have lying around in their garages. Look to spend around $100-$150 for professional installation. And it would be a good thing to get an alignment immediately after the installation.

As far as performance of Eibach Pro-Kit's, it'll keep your car feeling "almost" stock when driving normally. Under heavy acceleration and hard cornering is where they really shine due to them being progressive rate springs.

Slight adjustment (and only my opinion). Sometimes springs need to seat themselves a little, i'd reccomend personally, installation with a follow up alignment in a days or two.

But, to each their own, in the end the goal is do it right and you won't pay for the mistake later. And, God for Sake, take your time if you're doing the work.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I didn't litterally mean immediately, as in within 30 minutes. Sorry for the confusion. On all my previous cars I did my alignment the next day.

Well, i can tell you first hand that they improve your handling performance. They decreased body roll substantialy and gave the car a tighter feel in cornering. They also kept the same comfortable ride aspect. A tiny bit more road noise can be heard, due to the body being that much closer to the ground no doubt. Also, braking feels a little better because the front end doesn't dip forward and cause longer stopping distance. Other than that not to much changed with the Eibach Prokit.

Anybody hear anything about sway bars yet? I'll get my springs when the sway bars come out.

Anyone in NY or anywhere that snows doing the Eibach kit?

[ReviT]

Wow thanks for all the help guys. Does the eibach springs help any on a launch?

Yup, I don't live in NY but I live darn close to NY State. Like I mentioned in the above post, I should be getting mine soon! Can't wait!

Theoretically, yes, by helping improve load transfer to the drive wheels during acceleration and reducing axle torque.

But would it definately be a noticable difference? Or would u need to track test it to find out?

Bryan, sway bars are actively under development. The rear bar is basically done, with the front to follow. I'd classify it as "weeks" away, but definitely coming soon.

For those unaware, upgraded sway bars reduce body roll in the corners, and work to keep the car level, and can have a profound impact on the cornering ability of a vehicle.

We believe the Altima needs some help in this area (as do most cars, they are built for the masses), and it will be a perfect fit with the Eibach Pro-Kit.
