Eibach Springies!

Those are the only pictures I can get for now, sorry about the size.

The drop is a little under 2 inches, so I'm guessing that the early estimates of 1.8" was correct.

These make the car feel so much more amazing then it already did. I havent had a chance to really flog it yet, but just a few low speed twisties. The body roll is nearly non-exhistent, and it feels more connected to the road, more surefooted.

I'm not sure how long the stock struts are going to last, but we'll have to see.

When they installed the springs, the alignment went off by a bit, positive camber and toe-out on the front's especially.

Ohh, also got my new tires installed on the front, BFGoodrich g-force Sports. $30 cheaper then the Continentals, better traction rating, but I wont know personally until they get scrubbed in.

What I'm thinking is that the rear end is going to have more of a tendency to step out a bit because of less grip compared to the fronts. I dont expect it to be a problem, but come track days it may be a bit more unstable.
 
Thank God you have shown us this. I'm definitely getting the Pro-Kit. I'm gonna have them install them too. I don't want to take any chances on my car right now. Oh by the way. I'm getting a moonroof installed on Monday!
Where is the place you got yours done?

That's the model number and specs I have seen out on the internet but just want to know if the ones you got are the same. I can't see that they would be if the were using your car to develope them just recently.

I think he said he got the Sportlines not the Pro-kit... check the first post in this thread.

Yea, Accel, could you tell us how this deal worked? How much were they? Did you go to an official Eibach retailer, or did you buy them on the internet?

What is the life going to be on the stock shocks?
