what's up wonderlick....

Should be ok....if not let's go Spy. You know the drop on that.

Eibachs are good though. That's what I had on my Integra. CRX and Accord back in the day.
They are progressive rate and have a good drop. 1.8 back and 1.6 front. With the massive 19' Seven Mods you got there they should be fine.

Late....

Can you give us feed back on these Eibach Springs in terms of ride quality?

im still debating getting coilovers or eibach springs, cuz if i have to replace the shocks later, i rather get the coilovers all at once

I wonder if Ground Control will have a setup which will use the stock shock with the threaded sleave. GC uses eibach for their spring coil over which is nice.

at first i didn't think the eibach springs would lower the car enough, but it looks nice with those wells. i think i like that better then the spy springs. eibach also has the best springs out there and they will usually give a ride as good as stock or better.

the eibach springs are on backorder now direct from manufactor. they run in price range of $210.00-up. call around some shops that stock eibach and ask for part # 8281.140

Could we possibly get a picture of that car on even ground? If you notice...it's sitting on the middle of the slope of the driveway, giving the appearance of being lower than it actually is.

The only reason why I ask, is that in the picture, it doesn't look like the drop that Eibach describes for their pro-kit..which is 1.4 in the front and 1.6 in the back if i'm not mistaken.

How is the ride with the Eibach lowing springs? I have 17's with 40 thickness on my xB. How much room will there be between the well and tire? What would coilovers do to the ride or height before and after the Eibach springs.

I met one of the T.S.W. members at the bbq on sat..(forgot his name i think it was eric)..and he has the eibachs, and he said they rode crappy, and it sagged in the ___ & so he had to CUT the front ones to make it level...maybe thats why that guy has his on the driveway, to level it out :? ...anyways...for the money and the ride and the drop, i'm gunna go with the goldlines.

Yes the Eibach ride alittle rougher then stock but it gives the XB better handling and race feel on the turns. I agree that I dont like how it is 1.8 in back and 1.6 drop in front. to get the best look you have to cut the front springs alittle bit to even it out.. I have 19" rims on my XB and the eibach springs and still have a 1" or so space between wheel and fender.
