just wondering,

you guys with eibachs that have more then 15,000 - 20,000 miles on them,

1. did you use the stock shocks with the eibachs?
2. how is the suspension now?
3. are you planning on getting new shocks? (e.g. koni's)
4. do you guys know how long the shocks can last with the eibach drop?


thanks for any type of help,

i tried searching with no luck.

1. Yes
2. Fine, ride still a little bouncy but better than stock 03
3. Have Tokico's in the garage
4. ?

 

how much are the tokico's? thanks for the reply, good to hear that some z drivers are in the same boat as me.

I got them from a Stillen group buy around 400 I think.

 

I ran about 35 track days on the stock shocks with Eibach springs without any problems on or off track. I'm having more issues with my replacement HKS coilovers...

 

20k+ on stock shocks, no problems.

 

 

Ok... does that mean that it improved ride quality over stock when u first fixed it?
sorry to go off-topic

 

No need for camber kits?

 

At 26,5000 (I had 5K when I put them on)

1. did you use the stock shocks with the eibachs? YES
2. how is the suspension now? GREAT
3. are you planning on getting new shocks? (e.g. koni's) when I need them
4. do you guys know how long the shocks can last with the eibach drop? I don't think the drop changes anything. I expect them to last a normal life. After 45K miles I would expect to replace them anyway.

I think I will look for 2004+ OEM shocks, I understand Nissan changed them and the newer model are better.

Alignment : Had to get adjustable front A Arms (got Kinetix), rear camber arms (also got Kinetix). Ended up INSIDE spec, but rear toe is maxed out, so I got the toe cam bolts to "ease"it off a bit.

Note: Jason from TopSpeed is selling adjustable rear camber arms at $180 SHIPPED. I doubt you can find a better deal even in eBay. Just in case you are looking to save a few bucks.

 

I'm at 41k stock shocks, I put them on at 8k
Bounce is still there, but better compared to stock
Will get Tien EDFC kit when shocks blow
So far 33k and going on strong

sounds good, this is what i wanted to hear, lol

good to hear that someone is still having them be fine after that many miles,


thanks guys

What are you waiting for Gus? The Tokico's are amazing!

Sang, I've had the eibach set up for over 20000 miles and no problems. switched to the tokico's back in september and love them. you can get them for about 499 on ebay. stillen's group buy was the best I've ever seen them though, and the reason that I bought them.

 

i have eibach's with 20000+ and stock springs too. no camber arms or anything. my camber didn't end up that bad after the drop. a little out of spec but nothing too bad. they still ride great!
