Removed my Eibachs today and put OEM springs back on.
Installed front spoiler last week.
Will install GTSPEC FSTB in the next couple of days.

Why'd you remove the Eibach's Wayne?

Just reading about red's hood. Holy flak. What was that site again? Www.seib-
A quote about imitation and flattery comes to mind. I might have a stupid gap between my hood and my crappy fg k2 front fender from strafe but I'm built dammit!! Isn't that worth something?!

I'm still lookin for something in sides since my fg impul sides from strafe showed up so hopelessly warped I couldn't even mount them... Eyes are always open for something a little Lower profile- or at least different.


Old news but still hoping to get that oem spoiler mounted lol.

Also hoping to disable those stupid side speakers in the back of the front seats. Or replace... Probably just take them out. Pita to get at though.

I've been wanting these since I got my FX in 09.
They just started making them this year. I was calling Eibach & H&R regularly. I think I'm probably the 1st person in Canada to get them and among the first 5 or 6 in the US. Eibach came out first and H&R just a couple of months ago. I got the Eibachs since it was a milder drop and thought I would be okay with alignment, NOT. All the guys I know that got either set can't get their alignment in spec. I talked to SPC and a couple other places and they said late Fall would be the very earliest they might have something to cure the problem, if I was lucky.

I would have left them on but I am driving too much highway this summer. A couple of days after the Spring Tour Karen and I are heading out in the FX across Canada for 5 or 6 weeks. There is no way I wanted tire wear problems.

That's for sure, but you can't be killing a good set of tires on your road trip.

That's right and I'm so pumped we are finally going to meet many of you folks to the west of us
It looked better sitting 1 1/4" lower but I didn't want to chance it and possibly have to replace tires part way through the trip.

Wayne, sucks to hear! but I agree, I wouldn't want to make any kind of long journey in my G. Tires are too sketchy of a thing to deal with like that.

Dustin, why such a long wait for the hood?

i am not sure on why it took so long. I heard something about Top Secret losing a warehouse and things like that. But it showed up none the less.
