Uninstalling Eibachs after one day

Just installed my Eibach springs this morning, drove around for a day and decided to put my stock springs back on. They'll go back on tomorrow. Car feels too low for me.

Here is a picture of my car with the Eibachs and 20's. No wheel rubbing problems. I'm in the LA area if anybody wants to buy the springs cheap.

You gotta be nuts to take them off!!! It looks great like that. Mine isn't too low and set up with 20's and Eibachs. I never scrape at all.

Re: Uninstalling Eibachs after one day

I think I know why you feel the way you do. For some really odd reason eibach choose to do the coupe springs with really low initial spring rates. Add to that the fact that the stiffer part of their progressive design really isn't stiffer than stock and I could see where their could be some strange thing's going on.

Can anyone please take and measure how tall stock coupe springs are off the car front and rear. I have a idea.

Ivry 6mt sed
Injen CAI, 22" resonator
8X18 Enkei RPM2 45mm
Kumho MX 245/40
350Z springs&struts

Re: Uninstalling Eibachs after one day

Ok, thanks. I was thinking if the coupe uses the same spring height as the sedan then all you'd need to do to lower the car about 7/8" front and 1 1/8" rear would be to simply get a set of 350Z springs. Which are pretty much the same stiffness, just shorter. BUT, your springs are the same height as 350Z springs, so,.........so much for that idea.
