The Low Down: On Lowering Springs Y34

[stroked347]

This was the only set from this particular source....

I bought mine from a guy who is selling his M45. He bought the springs two years ago, never installed them and was going to include them w/ the car when it sold. So, he listed them on ebay separate from the car after I inquired about the springs.

I check ebay once a day just for M45s and parts just cuz you never know what's going to be posted.

I hope you are able to locate a set though...i had just about given up

Caug, anyone that is as Tein resaler can order them for you.

All this about the springs...what about the struts? what are you guys pairing with these?

ANyone done this install? I have done suspension before but would love to have a write up on this cars susp.

[xxNite]

unfortunately due to availability, you are really only able to find and use factory struts with the lowering springs by TEIN or EIBACH. I have 54Kmiles on my car and put the TEIN S-Tech lowering springs on about 1000 miles ago. The feel is okay, but I don't drive the car like-I-stole-it, so it works for me.

M45 2004

how much you think we are all in for then Including struts, springs, shipping, bushings, gaskets, bolts...?

ALso, I thought it was bad to pair lowering springs with stock struts because of the compression or something being dampened a bit due to the shorter spring? Overall causing shorter life on the brand new strut?

[xxNite]

[DRIPS]

for Eibachs:The part # is 6371.140

I found the eibach springs on this site:

Can someone confirm that these are indeed the springs that will fit my 03 y34? Based on the feedback of the teins, I would rather go with the eibachs. I have had a pro kit before and was happy with the ride.

I would be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that they have the info wrong. Try calling tham and see if they indeed have that part#. It should be 03-04, then 05 up, not 04-06 as they have posted. I would call....

I contacted mynismo a few weeks back. I received this email "Hmm, yeah we had some a little while ago, and someone else asked for the same thing, he ended up buying the Japanese spec Tein lowering springs instead."

So i don't think that helps out with anything.. do you have the part or not?! I wrote them back but have not heard back.

[ClutchKick]

Eddie over at MyNismo.com has his hands full... I actually built that web site years ago...

The part number is accuarte for the M45 Fuga 2006+ model. Not for the Y34 M45...

The coils are totally diffeent on the new M's from the Y34... Different diameter in the front / rear etc...

When I called Eibach ages ago they had no longer made the Y34 springs... I do not recall the part number for the Y34 springs but it was different from the Fuga...

TEIN and I think it was JIC or Parfume are the only company's that made springs for the Y34...

I can still get them all...

[DRIPS]

Clutch you rock! I want a lower and stiffer ride built for performance. WHich of the springs would you recommend and what is the cost of each?

So the best quotes I have so far are:

250 for Tien365 for front struts360 for rear struts105 for wheel bearings----------------1080 shipped to me

I cant believe the cost! Although, I guess that is what I expected since the car is rare...

[Fred-Don]

Hey Clutchkick, do you still have Teins or Espelir springs on stock or can you place an order for me and for how much??After all my research so far I think these two are the only options I have left for my 2003 M45...do you recommend either?

[SoThrowedMex]

Count me in!!

I'll start the Group Buy list

I know I am late and all but I would like the lowering springs for my Y34. Question, I have 22" wheels on it, can I still put these on? Will they rub tremendously? I want to lower my car so bad.

**I know this is an old thread but barely got my car 3 weeks ago.

[Tony Two-Tone]

22s will more than likely rub.

[SoThrowedMex]

22s will more than likely rub.

Yea kinda figured that. I would probably have to do a fender roll or something. Thanks for the response Tony.

[Tony Two-Tone]

NP bro.

I'll also go ahead and tell you to go with coilovers instead of springs. The prices are much more reasonable now-around $1000

Ouch, $1k is not reasonable to me lol. I thought they were hard to find for springs, im sure the coilovers are near if not impossible to find as well.
