I've talked with my buddy Ryan @ Eibach, and we're set for a meet on the 24th of October (Sunday) at Eibach North America's facility in Corona, CA.
He will get the head of R&D to have some tech sessions with us, as well as answer any technical questions on suspension tuning. We will also be given a tour of their manufacturing floor. In case you wonder.... Eibach NA has the exact same equipment as what they have in Germany to produce springs...
There will be a BBQ, as well as free giveaways from Eibach and possibily a few other companies.
Now, I need some feedback...
Two basic questions:
- What type of seminar do you want to see? Specifically, what type of topics do you want to have reviewed at such a seminar? Keep in mind that the more topics you want to have covered, the longer the session will be and it takes away from other activities planned.- What kind of food @ the BBQ? hahahahahaha. No flank steaks please.
Obviously this will not be limited to just 240SXes, so keep that in mind.

Question #1-The science behind spring rates. How they are figured out, manufactured, and the difference between linear and progressive.
Question #2-What's a BBQ without big fat hamburgers and hotdogs. Anything is good, as long as it is BBQed.
Where in corona is Eibach, I've never seen it before. I know where APC is though(only cause you can see it from the freeway).
Keep us posted, I will definately be there in my newly sr powered S13.

oh! im definatly there! i actually live less than 2 miles away!
The Eibach company is located between the Main St and Mickinnly St exit. You can see it from the freeway. You take the Mickinnly St South ( i think its south, opposite of the shoping center) exit. Not exactly sure on the full directions, mav could u give us an address ?
Ah, hopefully i can get my interior fixed up (and some small problems) before the meet.

Have them give a good session on advanced suspension tuning. What effect it has when you lower a car, and what happens when you lower it to much. The difference between roll center and center of gravity, etc... Some good info on exactly how sway bars work and the effect of different diameters would be awesome too.
