Eibach spring experience?? Lowering Progress w/ Pics..

[94GPGTP]

Does anyone have experience with the eibach springs? I bought them yesterday. Hopefully and I'm sure they will come before my Birchmount spring comes in. I ordered yesterday the Birchmount spring from Canada for 220 US shipped. They told me they were going to make it and ship it yesterday. That's amazing if that's what they did. I'm not sure if I should call to follow up or not.

 

Anyway back to my question. Has anyone experienced the eibach springs in there car? How much did you pay? Have you had any problems with them?

 

I am going to run these springs on my 95 GTP with the Birchmount 2" drop in rear and the 1.8" drop bust actually 2-3 in front. I think it's gunna be sick.

 

So throw out what you have heard and what you know about eibach on our W's.

The 99 Intrigue I'm working on has the Eibach springs that lower it an inch, and they've got probably 40k miles on them currently- no problems yet, and the original owner didn't have any either. He combined them with new KYB GR2 struts. The little ways I've driven the car, they springs do seem a little stiff, but it could just be the fact that the car's lower.

well thats a good sign so far.. i didnt know if they were good or not on our cars.. BTW i called Birchmount today and they shipped out the spring today.. so i should hopefully recieving it this week..

huh I was told by many vendors online that the eibach springs where not made anymore for the 95-99 monte's. Wonder if I can still find them.

i had eibachs on my 98 ltz and i loved how they rode,

[94GPGTP]

Awesome.. i asked friends of friends and everbody and they said i will be the happiest person driving that car with the Eibachs in there.. Thats a good thing i suppose...

Well Yesterday i came home and sitting there in front of the garage it was there waiting for me.. The birchmount spring had arrived.. I was so happy.. jumping with joy... Well i didnt waste much time.. I got the car in the garage and on the lift and tore it up.. I got the rear leaf out and the new birchmount in.. it took about a total of 2-3 hours and thats having no clue on what to take off and not having a spring compressor and doing it on a lift.. Tonight i will be getting the front finished.. i am also putting new tierods inner and outer and balljoints on with the springs.. I must say so far birchmount makes a nice spring.. Sit good in the car.. But on the Con side with it made of steel its HEAVY compared the factory fiberglass..

Looks good so far

Jealous that you have a lift, I really want one but dont have the ceiling in the garage for one.

The only problem that I have ever read or heard with the Eibachs are that they take to long to settle and sometimes one settles before the other.

[RZB1992]

Did you get the eibach alignment kit to go with those, or are you doing your own alignment?

[RZB1992]

Make sure that you get some kind of warrenty with those! Supposedly they have a "million mile warrenty" but I just did some work on the Intrigue I'm putting back together, and found out that the Eibach springs in back not only cracked right down the middle, but then split- so pieces went flying off as I pulled down my driveway.

[94GPGTP]

Well she is done minus a alignment.. The front is super low and the rear did not move an inch.. Im going to call Birchmount monday and see what they say.. I think they might tell me to take a leaf out.. But anyway it sorta looks good.. I have nothing in the trunk but the spare tire.. its empty.. I dont know why the rear leaf did not drop it.. It was suppose to be a 2" rear drop spring.. But i must say the rear rides much better than the front as the way it sits.. the eibachs ride nice but as i am aware they need to break in? Here are some pics..

I like it!

my birchmount 2" drop spring didn't drop my car at all yet either.

 

can you throw some heavy stuff in the trunk for a week or so and try to get it to settle maybe?

 

I haven't been able to drive the car yet, but that is what I had planned on doing.

Thanks

Now do i have to drive it with the weight in it for the spring to settle? or can it sit? i dont drive the car much it mayb gets 100 miles a week if i drive it to work 1 day.. the car sits alot.. its considersed a sunday car or date car..

[Garrett Powered]

not sure, I was hoping mine would settle after a week or two of heavy driving with my sub box in the trunk.

 

but that is not how the story ended. It ended with me in the middle of a giant project with no end in sight.

That looks good!!! Now get those 077's back on
