http://www2.partstrain.com/pro....html

There is the link but this company has a lowering kit at 1.2" front and rear drop.

partstrain.com

The brand is Intrax and the search would be 2004 M45

I purchased a set with delivery at $280

I hope this set works out and if anyone has ever heard of this manufacturer quality please respond.

Intrax has a good product, but I'm suprised to hear they make'em for the 2003-2004 M's. 1.2 sounds like a good drop. My eibachs are 1.0 I believe. Keep us posted, especially after the install.

Take a look at mine with eibachs before the rims. kinda gives you an idea.It was pretty dope without the rims

You have good taste my friend. You might just up stage me and put me to shame. That will look fresh. Will you be staggering those babies? I noticed they had hyper black silver, etc... what's it gonna be for the finish? I'd go bezerk if I saw the hyper black on the black 03- 04 M

[auditech10]

Intrax have a good reputation. They have been in the market for many years and people I know that have their products have not complained.Cheers

I just orderd the eibach pro-kit, and I was curious as to how the ride/handling was over the stock springs. I have the factory chrome rims now on 245/40zr 18 hankook ventus v4 es tires. Just wanted to get an idea of what kind of performance upgrade I can expect with this set up before I bankroll and come for the GFGs.

so when you drop the M do you need a camber kit...i know when i had my Acura even with the Pro-Kit i had a camber issue and extreme wear...so i had to get one...but do they make one for the M...cause i dont want to go through tires every 4 months

[loans4homes]

Hey Troubleowens...Where did you find the Eibach kit...I had no luck anywhere...

Cakedaddy...Did you install the camber kit?? If not have you had wear issues on your install??? If so where did you get the camber kit?

[auditech10]

You should be ok but you should at least check it out after at least two weeks after installing the springs. I could be wrong, hopefully a Infiniti tech or someone else can tell for sure, but I remember after I first got my M45 i was messing around on the alignment rack at work one day and I think there was no adjustment for front camber. Am i right? If so what do you guys do to adjust it?

yeah really! where did you score the eibach and no, I didnt install a camber kit. Camber kits are only for drops overs 1.5 inches, atleast that's what my tech guy told me, but be sure to get the car re alligned within the first 150 miles and everything should fall back in factort specs. I have no tire wear issues and this is because I got the car alligned right ways.

I seriously doubt if a camber kit exist for this car, HELL!! look how hard it is to get springs, so forget about a camber kit, plus we dont need it unless we go lower than 1.5inches

Trouble,

The ride is great. After the Infiniti tech took my car for a spin he felt the difference and said its tight. Well worth it, especially in the looks department.

[loans4homes]

False Alarm...I just got the call from Partstrain.comNO STOCK...not yet availible, appearantly the are still in "prototype status" but will be within a few months says INTRAX as well as Partstrain...Sorry..

But if anyone knows were to gewt a set of Eibachs I WANT THEM...

I also have the other source working on some sets from shox.comPlus my neighbor has a connection at Eibach and they may twist a few sets up...may!!!

[troubleowens]

Try AJ Usa. The part # is 6371.140. Or contact eibach and ask them about that part # for the pro-kit.

Eibach's have been discontinued....for awhile now. The only chance is if a shop bought them for their own inventory and has them lying around.

Don't bother! Shox.com back in Jan 2006 said that they do not exist anywhere. When I purchased mine through shox.com in Jan 06 they actualy had to get back to me and he later explained to me that this is the last set and they will be discontinued. He exhausted every option to find mine, and yes the part num is 6371.140. I've done searches on this and they do show up, but its a no go once you call them. I'm a little vexed about this myself. I'd love to see other M's lowered.

Who was that guy last summer who had a set in his home garage just sitting around?

Its not like Eibach is not the only manuf. that makes springs for our Ms. Its just for some reason people on here think they are the best brand.

Well don’t leave us hanging!! Who are they? We know that Eibach is out, Intrax say they are in the making, JIC Magic has yet to release the coilover setup , Junction Pro has them, but for the GloriaV6 which has a different load rate, espilar(sp)?? I've yet to see anyone install these if they even exist , so do you know something we don't?

....so, Eibach is the BEST for this car right now, but its too bad they discontinued them

Who are these "other" brands

[CakeDaddy]

Who are these "other" brands

I'm not trying to be nasty but I was only asking the questions that everyone else will be asking. I know Auditech10 is a pretty resourceful dude and I hope he can shine some light for the other users.

i just checked... they list them but not available

[chinobfl]

Was this for a set of 2 or 4? Also have you put them on? I sure it looks good and hope rides good.

[jamestgk]

when the industry lets you down, you gotta go old school. I could not take the high ride and body roll any more. so, what we old dudes do... spring compressors. stiff in the corners, crazy sharp steering response, squat free launches, and no bounce!!!! doubt me, come take a ride. oh yeah, lets not forget no rubbing over speed bumps or turns and it's adjustable for more height. what you see is max low with 255/35/20 all around. speaking of tires, THE BEST PERFORMING TIRE YOU WILL EVER NEED IN ALL WEATHER YOU SEE BELOW... GENERAL EXCLIAM UHP, WITH NITROGEN OF COURSE.

[auditech10]

Please elaborate on which spring compressors you used, where you got them (how much) and the procedure to install and adjuster them. Thanks!

[CakeDaddy]

i can't stop looking at this pic

get low baby! get low!

and yes, where, what name and model are there compressors

[Jackhammer]

so spring compressors are safe to use???? :scared:

coz i remmeber using them just to take it off the struts and they come off easily :/

[auditech10]

NO, I wouldnt recommend them at all but to each his own

[ClutchKick]

I just got some green little boxes...

hopefully can install today

[szh]

so spring compressors are safe to use????

When used carefully, yes. But they can be downright dangerous ... you could kill yourself.

So, I would strongly recommend a professional. You can take the springs and struts to many places and have them swap it out - for not too much money per strut.
