I'm wondeing if i should go with the Tein or with the Eibach springs.. i do not have any camber problems right now.

Who has Eibach... what do you think??


Who has Tain.... What do you think??

Thansk guys.

 

I used to sell Eibachs. Never used Tein, but I heard they are supposed to be totally drift-focused. Eibachs are very circuit focused.

All the owners who bought Eibachs (well, those who bothered to call us back and say thanks) said that aside from the increased stability, the inertia from braking hard (forward body roll) was significantly reduced.

Mind you, I've never set them up on a 350Z, so how it works on it is beyond me.

 

I installed the "Eibach Pro Kit", but did it in conjunction with Koni Yellow Sport and 350EVO Sways. So, don't know if I can comment just on Eibach. I got a 1" drop on all four corners. I can say that the car handles VERY well and the "bounce" is gone.

 

You should go with Hotchkis..its a clean drop with no rubbing.look at my post "finally got my new wheels" to see pics.

 

ohh.ok

 

Since your're on the topic of Tein springs. I ordered some Tein springs and someone made a comment to me about changing the shocks as well. They said with in a short amount of time the lowering springs will kill the stock shocks and it'll soon turn into a really rough ride. Does anyone know if this is true about the Z stock shocks?

 

Not true I have stock shocks have had the Eibach pro kit since new , no rough ride no shock problems 28k miles no issuses besides you will be low, I recently ran over a man hole and 5k damage, you have to be careful where you try to drive. The pro-kit lowered more than 1 inch it is now like 2 inches I can just fit my foot underneath the car...but handles on the dime wouldnt change a thing love the Eibachs

 

Tein is not drift focused. And it's actually really hard to "tune " a spring alone for any sort of motorsports without a full suspension tune.

both are good, the eibachs will lower the car more. The teins will be stiffer. THe eibachs have a chance of saggin down the road. The eibachs are softer.
Um, i think that's it......

 

I have been assured by a guy here inj Dubai that I can get fully height adjustable Eibach coilovers for my car!

I am going to talk to the guy sometime this week and take a few photo's of what he has.

He reckons they retail at something in the order of US$1500-1800, but I have to wait. Apparently these are brand new edition to the Eibach collection, although I have tried to search the website in Germany, there seems to be no mention of them!

If it's true, then I will get them. i love Eibach and have had them on my other cars!

 

Moved.

 

I just ordered the tein s for 130 shipped.. it was a good deal. thanks guys

 

I have 41k miles with Tein S-Tech springs.. I also had Eibach Pro-Kit before. The Eibach lower my car too much and it bottomed out. With the Tein S-Tech, it doesn't bottom out, since it doesn't drop as much. Overall, I like the Tein S-Tech better.

 

From a 1" drop to around 2" after settling...wtf!

That's NOT a settling thought...

I figure my RS*R will settle slightly, but hopefull not more than a couple of MM, because if that's the case it will throw alignment off completely.

 

i just couldn't let that deal go...

 

I have the eibach and I like them for daily driving. But when I go to the track, they are too soft for me.

The drop makes the car look nice with a 1" drop. I am considering raising my car back to stock so I can go over steep bumps/driveways.

 

eibach IMHO are a bit mushy on the Z...

The S-Tech feel more secure, do not make the ride harsh...

Plus the S-Tech are cheeper

Whats the cost to ship them over to Dubai? Please. Can u PM me with a price. Thanks

 

Don't you get a camber problem with the eibach's?

 

any little bit you lower the Z you will have a "Camber Problem"

The Z already have Negitive camber. There is no way to adjust the factory ssuspension to not have Negitive camber. The Negitive camber is what causes the inside of the tire to wear quicker, but it is also what causes the car to handle soo well in the corners...

the majority of people when they lower a car want more of a negitive camber for even better cornering...

so more negitive camber it not a "problem" to everyone...

I want -4 camber up front...
