yea man Im with this guy. I want a set of the sportlines.generic808 wrote:I will be in if shipping to Hawaii is reasonable. I just can't imagine paying $80+ shipping for $200 springs.
Not true. I ordered my Injen without knowing about the group buy via internet order. Luckily, I called Stillen to check up on the order and I got a hold of Margret and she saw that the price was not the group buy price. She adjusted it on the spot and saved me $45.00! That was a great surprise and just by doing that Stillen got my future business! If it was anyother company, I'm sure it would be the "don' ask don't tell" policy.D-Roll wrote:I placed my pre-order with Stillen last week, so I guess I cant get in with the group by??
Juiced06 - I had the H&R's a car years ago, it's a ruff ride FYI.
Good to know mang! I paid about $239 for the springs. They should be shipped next month sometime.dangeris wrote:

When Greyzone spoke with a custom suspension shop here in San Diego, (This shop is a suspension specialty shop specializing in $100,000 + exotic cars.) they specifically stated that, for lowering springs that will be used with factory suspension, Eibach was the only company that does their R&D correctly!Juiced06 wrote:Holding out for the H&R I think you guys might be a little disappointed in the 1' drop your gonna get from the Pro kit and the sport lines gonna be too much
H&R gonna be 1.4F-1.3R Just right
Just a thought

When correctly factoring in spring rate, vs vehicle weight, etc, there is a reason that the drop ends up being what it is, and that's why its different for every vehicle. Again, this came from a professional NOT affiliated with Eibach, H&R, Tein, etc so if you disagree, I can give you his number, but that's what the independent expert stated.
There's a reason that for a simple spring upgrade (not full suspension) most folks go with Eibach! Looks, performance, and safety are three different aspects that Eibach takes very seriously. I'm not downing H&R, but the guy wasn't particularly fond of them!

Not trying to take away from H&R, H&R builds a good spring but from our experience, no one can match Eibach's R&D and knowledge.
OK, let me get to work on this.
Yup, they are amazing springs. I have Eibach race springs on my sport bikes and believe me, When you're dipping into a turn at 90+mph and dragging knee, you need a spring on you r bike that will keep the wheel planted on the pavement! OEM springs sway too much and are too mushy.kyle@stillen wrote:The question came up about the quality of the Eibach springs. Eibach is an amazing spring. They are on every one of our demo and personal vehicles. They are the only spring that Steve Millen uses on his personal and race cars. When we built our Ford GT supercar for a road rally in New Zealand, the first call placed was to Eibach for a set of race springs that would work with the Penske adjustable coil overs. Eibach's are used by all of the major race teams from indy car to NASCAR, and even off road.

.. i'd be willing to pick up too if i were to save some $$$ .. coming from San Diego county.johnny_d wrote:man, you guys are complaining about shipping from out of state for springs? Think about us Cali folks that have to pay 8% tax. I got my Stillen exhaust for around 760 picked up while you guys from out of state gets free shipping free tax for 710. So i get it a couple days earlier but I have to pay more. Maybe Kyle can giv us additional discounts if we go pick it up instead?
