Default Eibachs Installed (PICS Before & After)

These springs are great, the install was cake just for a few problems which were easily fixed. The drop is sexy the ride is alot more stiff and no more bouncyness, took it to nissan got a free alignment everything was in specs and no more pull! w00t!

Thanks goes out to Jason @ Performance Nissan!

Okay onto the pics, cans inspired by Westpak.

you car looks great, but i was wondering if you have to get a camber kit or some new shocks. I remember reading something about tire feathering due to negative camber? thanks

well I got my alignment from nissan today and everything was pretty much in specs, so need for camber kit but if you want to be safe go ahead.

The oem shocks are good for these springs but may wear quicker so when that happens I will change them out.

It was my understanding that changing to the Eibachs required that you purchase something else to get it back into spec.....

Anyways, whats the bounce your talking about? I drive and think the car is very stiff. Not bouncy by any means...What do you mean? What springs would make the car a little less harsh over imperfections in the road?

nice ride.

IMHO, the Eibach sticker in the quarter panel makes it look cheesy.

unless you're promoting them, no need to let people know you have them.

Negative camber doesn't cause feathering it will just cause inner tire wear but willbe even unlike feathering which is uneven and caused by the toe being out.

Some car might need camber kits, mine didn't but it was at the max for camber so I will probably get some wear but not major so far after a year.

i thought if you change to aftermarket spring, then you cannot have factory warranty.....
the nissan dealer didn't notice???

I am sure they noticed as they tried to get it on the ramp, but they probably didn't care as Nissan will pay them back, if there was any possibilty of not getting paid they would have said so.
