Eibach Springs

[07sportm35]

Has anyone installed these themselves? How difficult is it? Finally, what do you think of them in terms of ride quality and handling?

Any help or feedback would be sincerely appreciated.

They're perfect for what I was looking for. I wanted a subtle drop with better handling. The drop was about 1.6 (F), 1.0 (R) and handling definitely feels better (less body roll). Ride quality feels a tad harsher than stock, but feels sporty to me.

i installed my set this weekend great ride and great look i was going to go with tein because i have used them in the past but it seemed like to big of a drop from the s-tech spring the install took about two hours the back was very simple took longer to get the tire off then it did to change the spring

[YMm45]

here's a pic of it after it was done

[07sportm35]

Very nice. Very nice indeed! Thanks for the pic.

Why can't manufacturers make more springs for the X?! I want mine to look like that and not put it on bags! And btw, nice color. That's the other color I was looking for as my briefshopping experience went.

[TREYDEE007]

Looks nice, hows the ride????

[YMm45]

Thanks for the comments the ride is great i have owned about 4 cars that i have dropped in the past and this is by far the best ride very smooth and fun to drive

[YMm45]

i have another pic i will post later after work that shows how its looks coming out of a steap driveway

YM, you are bumming me out because you're going to cost me money and time underneath the car. Car looks fantastic!

I think I'm going to go with the Tein springs for a milder drop (1.2" front--.5" back).

Enjoy!!!

[YMm45]

yeh i am a huge fan of tein i have always used them but i just did not like the luxury drop and the s-tech was too much eibach kinda put me in the middle but if you go with tein it is a great buy and you wont waste too much time the back is out of this world easy g/l with everything 07sportm35

[YMm45]

this is the pic i was talking about i just wanted a nice drop that would make it out mt drive way with no rub and the eibach springs put me just were i need to be

Thanks YM. Should be interesting. Another reason for the mild drop is I ordered 15mm spacers--I really like the flush look. I ordered both the Tein's and Eibach 15mm spacers yesterday.

So, expect pictures by 3/15/2009.

I'll post before and after pictures and thoughts.

[YMm45]

Yeh spacers would make it look great I was going to do the samn I was actually on click away from ordering them but I knew once I did that I would never want to get some new wheels so I should hopefully have some 20's on it soon

[07sportm35]

Point well taken. I thought about 20's as well. But right now the ride quality is pretty nice. With the spacers I have committed myself to these sporty factory wheels. I'd hate to take a sizable hit on ride quaity. I'm also a little paranoid veering from the perfect fit (lubcentric) that you get with factory wheels(no vibes). I think the main downside looks-wise is the high offset of the 19" factory wheels.

I do wonder if the Eibach drop (being lower) would allow for the flush look without rubbing.

I'm gamb|ing, but I think 15mm spacers with stock 19's will produce a overall offset of +35mm versus +50mm-which will be just right with the drop.

With a mild drop I think I'll be just right. No rolling fenders or rubbing.

Time will tell...I'll be the guinea pig!

Do you stll have these?

[07sportm35]

Do you stll have these?

You should wait for my review of the 1.5" front drop and .5" rear drop before making your decision.

The are made by "Tein". The so called luxury drop.

I'm hoping this mild drop will maintain factory ride quality as contrasted with sport OEM springs.

They are $235 shipped.

You're guessing 3/15 ish?

I think a .5 drop in the rear is all I need in the rear, because right now Im pretty close to rubbing with 2 passengers.

Yes by 3/15/09 at the latest. I'm going to install the springs myself (I have done at least 10 Maxima's).

Springs are do in 3/11/09. Personally, I think anything over .5" in the rear is a bit much. Ideally just bringing down the front would do it for me.

The front on my car is .75" higher than the rear. So a .7" difference on the Tein springs between the fronts and rears should level her out pretty nice.

[07sportm35]

I wil provide before and after pics along with measurements. I will also give you my impressions of ride quality and handling as contrasted with the OEM sport springs. Hopefully they won't rub with my +15mm spacers on all 4 corners.

Stay tuned...

[haab4u]

You still got these?

[haab4u]

Do you still have the Eibach Springs? What's the part number on those?

[nadzak]

I have a set of Eibach springs, brand new in the [email protected]

[haab4u]

emailed you on the Eibachs

[nadzak]

Yeah, I'll take the picture of the box tonight and send out...

[jankenpo30]

Yeah I went on and ordered (yesterday) the Tein H techs for the same reason. My 20s in the back are very close as it is... .5" is all I need back there. I'd like more than the 1.2 in the front. But I'll settle.

Ideally I'd like 1.5 in front and nothing in back. At this point, I think I'm goign to install just the fronts....see how it rolls & looks. Then do the back if need be.

How hard are the springs to install yourself?
