Sagging Eibachs

hey guys,


For all you that have EIbach springs or any type of springs, do you notice any sagging. I just noticed that my rear driver side is lower than the rear passanger side.

Some of my friends said my shocks ave out??? whats should i do. It bugs me that my car is crooked...


thanks in advance

Re: Sagging Eibachs

It's typical on lowering springs that have soft initial bump (progressive rate) like the Eibach's. Your shocks/struts will not balance out on its own. You'll want to get coilovers
if you want to corner balance perfectly.

My s-techs have not shown any crookedness yet.

Re: Sagging Eibachs

i was kinda wondering what i should do about suspension.... should i get springs and new shocks? or just tein basics... i dont have 1800 + camber stuff price.... i was looking to spend like 800 on tein basics and lowering pretty low and adjusting once i can afford some camber adjustment.. What would u guys do?

Re: Sagging Eibachs

Since shock wheel rates are normally soft not unusal for drivers side to compress 0.5-0.7" when [170 pound] driver sits in car.
Are you speaking of how the car looks with a driver, unladen, or with passengers? How about the half inch the rear changes full of fuel vs. empty.

Smart engineers set a performance car ride height to be correct with just the driver and half fuel.

Re: Sagging Eibachs

I'd suggest going getting the full coilover set up with what you can afford. If you can wait, save up for the Tein Flex coilovers since it allows for more adjustments than the Basics. If I remember correctly, the Basics adjust for height only while the Flex adjust for height and damping. Get the EDFC and you're set. If you lower your car, you definitely want to get camber & toe correction.
