Thanks ...

But sorry to inform you that this is an R&D project for them to validate their spring kit for production release. As far as I know, they do not sell direct to customers and normally don't do customer installations, but you can always give them a call just to be sure.

Looking good!


Did they give any indication when the alignment kit for the 07's will be available? I'd love to lower mine but don't want to deal with uneven tire wear.

I was told it should be quick, but was not given an exact date. I'll be calling them later this week to follow-up. Of course, I'll post updates here.

I think so too, but I'd still caution those that are not used to driving lowered cars to slow down for driveways, speed bumps and don't try to stop with the front tire(s) against the parking block in the parking lot.

Now that more like it!! That Drop looks Perfect! Do you know if they are selling it now through thier dealers? or did they not release it yet to the Public? I think I will be Picking up a Pair after my Trip to Vegas in April. Hopefully by that time they will have the Camber Kits made by then! Looks good Terrycs! Oh and those Alignment Specs are from the Alignment Eibach did, or is it the specs after you Installed the Springs without any Alignment done?

Oh and check your PM box Terrycs, I sent you something.

The kit is now available from any Eibach retailer. Vegas huh? ... maybe you should do the springs before you go?

The out of spec numbers I posted are AFTER the technician did the alignment. In other words, this was the best he was able to do with the stock suspension components and lowering springs.

Looks great. A good alternative to the H&Rs. Can you post pics again after a couple of months to show how much, if any, the springs settle?

No problem, will do. It's usually the bushings and not the springs though.

Congrats Terry. Must've been so cool to deal directly with them. The result is outstanding. Thanks for sharing all the info; it will definitely help when the time comes. Why couldn't they just come like this out of the factory???

Terrycs -- that looks awesome!!! Next time you're at Eibach, can you ask them about throwing those springs on a G35X?

I already asked about that. The drop would not be the same. As far as I know, they still need a G35x for R&D, so if there is one in Southern California, PM me. They don't know if it would go into production because they are not sure of the demand. Who knows ... maybe the R&D car may be the only one with free custom Eibach springs.

How far is Southern California from Cleveland, OH? I'll drive. LOL

That new drop with the revised springs looks awesome terry! really evens it out. JUUUST right and not too low for practical everyday driving.

Your 10's should fit nicely with that drop without any worry about tucking issues.

Awesome!!
