(Mods please delete the other version to this, I messed up on the poll, and it doesn't allow me to delete my threads)


I had a few questions as well as this poll for current owners of the springs.

1) Whats the weight difference?
2) Better ride quality?
3) Handle the same (if not, better or worse?)


Thanks!!

Also, everyone, please take a minute to answer the poll!

 

The Eibachs are the single best mod I have had done to "Marilyn." The greatly enhance the ride and the feathering that took place w/orig. tires/springs has been reduced by at least 300% if not more. The drop adds just the touch that sez this car has an attitude.
Just do it! Regards, Jim

 

agreed.. but you do have to change the way you drive when going over curb, and driveway. You have to drive more carefully, not straight on, but little side way when going up slope driveway. I find the hardway today

 

1) Don't know, but by eye can't be much.

2) DEFINETLY. No bunny hop!

3) better, mostly noticed on corners.

 

I had them on my Acura. 1 3/4 in front and 11/2 in back. I did it on stock shocks and it still felt amazing. High speed lane changes felt like a miata w/ 50/50 distribution...in a long *** and wide Acura Legend. Definately worth it...

 

Ricky, you know this should be in Suspension.

weight difference? i have the eibachs on now and the box with my stocks weighs the exact same on the UPS scale as it did coming in.

ride quality did not change for me. it's still bouncy, i also have the JIC camber/traction rods. if i still hit a bumpy patch of road it still bounces more than any other car i've owned.

the car handles much better but i can't say how much with just the springs. i switched up to larger rubber/lighter rims all at the same time along with getting a better alignment. the car is a lot of fun to drive now and all it needs is shocks and a new set of sway bars to get rid of the rest of the body roll.

 

Haha Jim, great minds think alike...I took my cars pic in front of Marilyn too.
