ive always heard good things about eibach , but you have to change your struts as well to make them ride good.

did you let your car settle? maybe you got the wrong part.

actually the parts are right everything is right the spring itself was made too high.

eibach knows about this and ive been dealing with their bullshit for 5 months plus. i had a post up with all my emials back n forth but it got deleted when the board crashed

Campaign is right. I have the same problem. The back springs have settled real nice, but the fronts are still pretty high. Performance wise, they are great. Stiff enough, but not unbearable. Make sure you couple them with some good shocks like AGX, otherwise why bother?

Yeah, eibachs have known problems. I've heard of one mechanic that won't even install them because people keep coming back with complaints.

I'm personally looking at intrax, but it's a pretty big drop, and I don't know if I really want to go that low.

what about the sportlines?  a lot of people have them on here with KYB AGX shocks.  anyone have experience with them?

camppain · 05-03-2002, 09:17 PM
