Thumbs up Eibach suspension hookup!!

Hey all,

A couple of months ago while at a gas station, I noticed a Dodge Magnum with brembo calipers next to me. So, I went over and started talking to the guy about it, and it turns out that he is Wilfried Eibach!! So, I got one of his cards, and earlier today left him a VM asking if we could get a group buy discount for 10-15 guys interested in some suspension parts. So now I pose the question to you guys, anyone else interested?? Ill start a list and give more details as they become available. If you already know what parts you would like, please post them next to your name.

1. Risk - Progressive rate springs + sways

If you are serious about this, I would post in the Suspension and Private Group Buy forums.

Wow... you're lucky you bump into someone like that! What are the chances!?

If I didn't already have NISMO susp/ NISMO sways, I would def. join this group buy. Good luck!

I maybe interested... but I'm not too knowledgeable about springs/sways. All I know is I want better suspension, possibly lowered too.

Also with headroom so if I were to go FI one day, I wouldn't have to change anything... any recommendations? I have a Roadster.

Just mention So Cal only in your thread. You would be surprised how many So Cal'ers there are on this forum who dont visit the regional section.

Just tryin to help u make your quota!

Good luck! It would be bad *** to say you got your springs directly from Mr. Eibach!

I would be interested in the Pro-kit springs. But, wanted to know if I will need any camber kits after the spring install?

Update:

Mr. Eibach transfered my voice mail to his sales VP "Ty" who called me and asked me some questions. So, I basically restated to him that I had met Mr. Eibach, and that I am part of a 350z club who may be interested in a group discount on some parts. He told me that they dont "deal directly" but gave me the name of a dealer in Anaheim along with the name of the guy I should ask for and use his (Ty's) reference.

Ive been surfing the web and have seen various prices for different Eibach stuff, but we really would need obout 10 guys interested to do a good deal. Furthermore, I have been contacted by a forum member who tells me that Eibach stuff isnt all its cracked up to be. Does anyone have any experience with Eibach, either good or bad?

I had the eibach springs on my car.

for the early to mid 2003 model year cars it helps tremendously with the porpoising.

The car sits fairly low. In terms of handling it's ok for daily driving.

In terms of camber, well you just lowered your car.. guess what you are going to take the car out of spec on camber, toe and caster. The front will have about -1.5 to -2" the rears should be adjusted to about -1.7" with stock adjusters.


If you are interested we could possibly do a eibach pro-kit installation group buy and SPC rear camber kit group buy and installation.

RISK let me know what pricing you get on the springs and I will see if I can match it and then do installations for you guys too..

35oZephyR,

What springs have you decided?

Do you have custom rims??
