? for s13 owners

ok now ive emailed tire rack where i bought my eibach pro kit springs from about this.

it seems on my 240 it didnt drop sh*t except for a lil in the rear. i even compared my car to s13/s14girls car whne she had her s13 and hers was sitting a lil bit lower in the front

has anyone else had problems with this setup, do you think they sent me the wrong springs?

my buddy installed the same setup on his b14 se-r and its perfect! just how i wanted mine.

i have pics of my car stock and now on my webpage didnt feel like slowing down the topic so if you want check it out on my site under nissan car pics.

thanks

it usually takes a while for your springs to settle. now if it's been a while, i don't know

I dono, Eibach says their springs don't settle any lower over time.

It is minimal, but you will get a little settling in...mine settled 1/4-1/2" over the course of the month after installation.  The ProKits aren't lowrider springs, though, so don't expect a massive drop from them.  They're engineered for performance, not looks.
So far, I have nothing but praise for my ProKits and AGX's.

A lot of people don't notice the lowering asthetically, but have you felt any difference in handling? If you got the pro-kit, that's what you should be looking for, otherwise you ordered the wrong springs.

but still, the sportlines ain't gonna give u terrible handling performance n what not.

as far as settling in its been a good month now probably . but still it hasnt even lowered there is still the huge wheel gap compared from front to rear like all stock nissan cars. as i said my buddy got the same setup on his b14 se-r and his is lowered and the wheel gap is evened out.which was what i was shooting for mainly with a nice drop nothin low rider-ish.

handling is great but my front has a big time clanking noise at first on the driver side front. which was due to one spring not sitting correct. which i fixed at work now i just have to look at it with another tech and see whats going on.

did anyone trim there bump stops?

anyone got pics of it on there s13 with this setup?

[tristarx]

if the picture of your S13 with the rims is when you have the AGX , Prokit installed, I have to say the wheel gap in the fron tis way too high.

Something is not right, you might want to redo the spring install and make sure it's sitting correctly in the right coil position.

Tx.

yes with the rims is with my springs and struts in place. they are set in there correct. i've had other techs look at them at work. i might pull everything off tomorrow and take a look and call tire rack since they don't email me back.

either i got the wrong springs or struts but something is not right and its def not the way they are mounted in there.

Hey, camppain!

Remember that I had 15" rims and you had 17". That could very well make a difference.

[AceInHole]

probably not helping at all since i don't remember the outcome:
a long while ago i remember someone getting eibach springs and the car not dropping at all. he called up eibach and the parts numbers matched. i think it turned out to be a defective pair.... but i'm not sure. i would say give eibach a call. it's worth a shot.

Edit: I forgot to mention that only one pair of springs wasn't dropping for that guy either.

yeah irena i know bout the rim size but the wheel gap shoulda evened out in the front which it didnt.

thanks ace for that info i will be giving eibach a call afterwards hopefully i'll here from tire rack first then also make sure bout my struts.
