Eibach Springs Gallery...

Poppin Fresh · 07-13-2009, 08:51 PM

Can anyone with Eibach Springs please post pics of their car after it has finally settled. Also include opinions and thoughts on ride quality and handling. Also include if you've had EDC issues as well. I've narrowed it down to Eibachs as it gives a modest drop. I have to drive to the city (NYC) on a daily basis and I frequent the parking ramps daily for work. Thank you in advance.

Get them

Technic · 07-13-2009, 10:18 PM

There's not that much to it, no EDC issues, excellent ride/handling, great drop, great price... just get them.

eibach FTW

i'm torn between getting eibach or dinan

CSanto · 07-21-2009, 10:17 AM

same.
except i just got word that KW is coming out with an EDC compatible coil over kit.

gilbertfg · 07-22-2009, 03:31 PM

Does anyone know when it's coming out?

MrHarris · 07-24-2009, 05:07 AM

Not sure, but a close friend who works in the business told me as well.

work associate just put the Eibach's on his E93 and has EDC light on. Odd, first I've heard of this...

Thats what freaks me out. Doesn't installing just springs also kill the shocks a lot earlier?

Installer probably left the connector loose on one of the shocks. This happens a lot.

IND-Distribution · 08-03-2009, 08:50 PM

We have sold/installed many sets of Eibach springs with not a single issue.

powertrip · 08-03-2009, 09:05 PM

Just had my Eibachs installed, and couldn't be happier with the outcome. The look is perfect with the factory 19's and spacer set-up that I'm running. I couldn't imagine wanting more of a drop at this point. As far as ride goes, it feels stock-like in sport, slightly firmer in normal, and comfort has yet to be explored. I'll post up some pic's when I have a chance

.

Zoominrex · 08-03-2009, 10:24 PM

Did you guys install aftermarket shocks also with these or are you using stock shocks? Doesn't that kill them? Which aftermarket shocks would work with these? The konis?

RedlineMotorworks · 08-03-2009, 10:27 PM

With the drop the Eibach's give you (and basically every other spring on the market), you don't really need aftermarket shocks.

When you get into springs that lower the car 1.5-2.5", that's when you want to pick up a set.

disruptv · 12-04-2009, 11:01 PM

16 posts and barely one pic

MrHarris · 12-05-2009, 05:30 AM

Sigh, I kind of wish I got Eibach. Seems to be the handling would be better than H&R since the Eibach's spring rate is less than H&R's. My ride feels somewhat stiff, but when I go over bumps at speeds of 70+ I can definitely feel the rebound off. I get that feeling like I just caught some air. It's most noticeable when EDC is in comfort mode and the shock is at it's softest setting.

The H&R w/ EDC in sport mode does not feel that bad though IMO but I feel it may be a bit unsafe to drive 100+ since the shocks are so stiff..

Look into the RD chassis it then. its a shock and spring combo.

This is another reason why I didn't get the EDC option. But if you are interested in getting shocks, I would consider Bilstein Sport shocks as another option (if you are non-edc). Just installed these along with Eibach springs. Don't have pics of the car yet because the weather hasn't been great and the car is filthy.

MrHarris · 12-07-2009, 01:57 AM

Can't you just do these shocks, and get the EDC module and call it a day?

OEM EDC is in the OEM shocks, the module provides the control for those particular OEM shocks.

Remove the OEM shocks and there will be no OEM EDC.

ADubM3 · 12-09-2009, 10:20 PM

Here is mine. No EDC so no worries. The ride is great and the drop is not too low but clear difference from stock.
