Eibachs

Save yourself the $300, and install everything yourself! It can be done with simple tools ( except the springs ) But just have someone help you out with that. All you need is a spring compressor and the strut retaining nut tool. Both can be rented!

 

 

BTW, thats a great place to start is with springs! I still dont have anything yet... :cry:

I have eibach sportlines on the Spyder...definitely a very nice spring :thumb:

 

unfortunately that's not the case with all cars. the Eibach springs on my brother's Shelby Lancer are fucked up. they are a "progressive rate" lowering spring. they did lower the car and it does ride nice, but for some reason four coils on the front springs are stacked solid together and the rear springs have six coils stacked against each other! wtf?!!? i don't know if Eibach just did a bad job designing them or what but with the way they are, they basically aren't a progressive rate spring being stacked like that. there is no way i'd buy Eibach springs for my Lebaron GTS Turbo.

I got them for a steal cause Josh is a good guy!

 

you sure did :lol: after paypal fees and shipping costs i made a whopping $32 on those springs! i'm just happy to see them going on another NICE W-body instead of collecting dust in my garage.

I did my springs myself, but i already had the whole strut/knuckle assembly off the car while i was swapping the tranny.

 

I also used some crappy spring compressors that made it a PITA, but I got it done. Good luck, and if you want some help when the time comes, you know how to get ahold of me.
