How do you pronounce eibach?

[GixxerK!d]

is it iback?

[vonivo]

its i bock

[bembol]

I heard bought.

I say "ebock."

[adidas2go]

its i bock

its "I bok"

[LongBeachCoupe]

LOL and just because ill never forget the lashings i took with NISMO...

I thought it was Knee-zmo.... but its NIZZ-mo

[ESP]

...that was my first thought too!

"Knee-zmo"

"Koe-nigg"

[jaxcoupe]

Hmmm my friend corrected me awhile back when I said "I-bock"... he was rather certain it's "A-bock" with a long A sound..

LOL and just because ill never forget the lashings i took with NISMO...

I thought it was Knee-zmo.... but its NIZZ-mo

I used to think it was knee-zmo as well since it's knee-san. These Japanese companies are always throwing me off!

[imdavit]

what about "A-Back"?

[GixxerK!d]

now I'm more confused.. I tried to edit my thread with a poll but I couldn't figure it out.

so I-BoK or A-Bok?

[Kanard]

I always thought it was E-BACK. lol sorry, and NIZ-MO while were on it? KO-NIGG? INK-E? (rim brands)

[ESP]

Eibach - "Eye-bock"Nismo - "Nizz-moe"Konig - "Koe-nigg"Enkei - "En-kay"Motegi - "Mow-teh-ghi"Kosei - "Ko-say-ee"Kumho - "Koom-hoe"Goodyear - "Sketchy"

[phobs]

Tein - "Tain"

Really, Nismo is pronounced "Nizz-moe" not "Knee-zmo"? I thought the correct way was "Knee-zmo" because the "i" in Japan is pronounced as "e".

[ESP]

Hmmm...I've always pronounced it "Tee-un"......................

As for the whole Nismo thing...logically speaking, Phobs is correct. In Japanese, there is no "nih" sound, so "nizz-mo" would be incorrect. That being said, I'm sure when we all say Nissan, it comes out as "nii-san", right? Well, when I was growing up, my entire family referred to it as "nih-san" and I'm pretty sure that's what the majority of North America called it until recently. Therefore, it stands to reason why Nismo is currently spoken as "nizz-mo".

To the OP: ...it's still "eye-bock"

[phobs]

yeahh, I found out that recently too. People at Tein call themselves as "tain" and a while back there was an ad for tein with their slogan something like "No gain, no Tein" Also I believe BRIDE is pronounced as "brid"

[Ferguson]

'Datsun' was much easier! Then, I guess, we'd have 'Datsmo'... no big deal!

Eye-bock. (I asked a German friend).

[JDRosenberg07]

Yeah its pronounced "I-Bok".

I called em about a week ago trin to find out the alignment specs for the pro kit and the lady answered the phone sayin "I-Bok"

[jaxcoupe]

Eibach - "Eye-bock"Nismo - "Nizz-moe"Konig - "Koe-nigg"Enkei - "En-kay"Motegi - "Mow-teh-ghi"Kosei - "Ko-say-ee"Kumho - "Koom-hoe"Goodyear - "Sketchy"

Arrrghhh! My boyfriend says "En-kay" and I used to too, but some of his car-fanatic friends and the guy at Discount Tire pronounced it as "Inky" which got me all confused. Is it for sure "En-kay"?

[mrodrig2]

Regarding NISMO, it is an abbreviation of Nissan Motorsports Internation Limited. Only US pronounces "Nissan" as Nee-Sahn. Everyone else pronounces it more as Niss-ahn or Niss-ehn. Hence Niz-Moe. This is due to differences in syllable emphasis in the languages.

[Rob.Vegan]

heres my verdict

Eibach: eye-bockNismo: niz-moEnkei: en-keyTein: tainKonig: kon-ig (lol, its the same)

just my pronunciations, sorry if their wrong but whatever

[marlin29311]

I have cool wheels, springs, and exhaust

[xfactor0707]

i think it is E-Bock

[uh-oh_8_coupe]

what language Eibach supposed to be

and the others are japanese?

[Carcass]

It depends on what part of the US you live in.

In Texas, that stuff you change every 3K miles is called 'All'.

They would probably say 'Eye-back' Or just 'Sprang'.

[LongBeachCoupe]

[Voodoo Coupe]

http://www.acapela-group.com/t....html

I spend alot of time in Huntersville, NC just North of Charlotte and believe me when I say NC is way more HillBilly than Texas. If someone here actually said "Sprang" they're either way out in the country or they were just shipped in from Alabama, Georgia, or one of the Carolina's.

[alikhan1]

Not sure if my 1 semester of college German qualifies me to speak here, but I would think it would be pronounced as "eye-bock"
