Eibach Spring

bickmade · Oct 17th, 2002, 06:12 PM

Hey does anyone know how to correct the california lift on our cars. My front end is higher than the back end. I have about 2-3 inches between the tire and the wheel in the front. Anyone have a suggestion, and NO i cannot afford the coil overs!

someone posted that H&R springs have a 1.5" drop in front and 1.4" drop in back. That should help. Not sure how good they are but according to website 20-30% stiffer than stock.

I am not sure about dropping cars...
I am interested in dropping my car, but im worried about if i get 16 inch with like 205/40/16 tires.. rubbing, i dont want my stuff to rub, expectially when i get me and my gurl in the car.. im just kinda worried about that.

Unless you and your girl weigh around 1000 lbs., drop your car 2 inches, and do a 60 mph 70 degree turn I don't think 16 inch wheels should rub....

The problem is that the wheel wells are cut higher in the front. If you look at the bottom of your car it is level.

Your worried about 16's you should see my car with 19's.

Niss200SXGTR · Oct 18th, 2002, 10:26 AM

well actually.. my g/f and me DO weigh 1000lbs.. when i got my 2 other buddys in my car! lol.. so with 4 peeps, it would rub..

Niss200SXGTR · Oct 18th, 2002, 10:28 AM

Man, 19'S.. oh yea, i remember, gosh, your on hydrolic/bag's arent you? i forgot the name of that style.. lol.. man, i bet your car rubs uncountable amount of times, unless your like a 100lb asian man, or some under-nourished white man.. lol! j/k if you are

there's several people that have a 2" drop with 18's and have no rubbing, even in U-turns. take it as you want.

you'll have no problem though.

Those were only a special set...the regular B&Gs drop 1.5" all around.

well damn. i heard that somewhere else too but wasn't sure. ah well, i was hoping to get the front down a bit more too.

Has anyone tried contacting Eibach sales dept to see if you can get springs that will do 2" in the front and 1.5" in the back? I know they offer springs in different rates such as 300lbs. or 350lbs. Maybe they do the same for height?

When I put my eibachs on I called and tried to get two diff sizes but had no luck....... The fender gap is just something that's there. I know there a lot of people that put the pro kit on the back and the sportline on the front.... This helps it look a little more evan in the fenders but then when you look at how level the car is as a whole it will be slightly off by a bit......

i have 16's with 205/40/16 with the eibach springs. they were really high in the front so i cut one of the coils off. it looks better than it was and still has good ride handling because i bought kyb gr2 struts also
