Eibach Springs On My I4 Coupe

[The Q]

I've seen plenty of V6 Coupes here with HFP and Eibach's, but here is my I4 Coupe on Eibach's. The drop is suttle and the ride / handling are great :banana:

nice looks good. how much you get the springs for? also where? Did you install them yourself?

Got the springs from advancespeedshop.com for $203 plus $30 shipping. Had my local dealer install the springs and align the car for just under $300. I got the lifetime alignment so when the spring settle or what ever I can have it checked and adjusted at no cost. They started out at a really high rate and I talked them down :biggrin:
I know some will say I paid to much for labor, but hey, I'm happy :nuts:

Nice ride. Although being subtle i get even more looks with the drop of the eibach springs. and i second your notion on the ride/handling being great post drop.:banana:

looking good~
I just called my dealer and they quoted $160 for installation and alignment.
gives me another reason to go for the drop!!

$160 including the alignment???? You must have a connection at the dealership. I bartered with my dealer over install time as their hourly rate is $90. I also bartered over the alignment to get the total install price reduced. If you can get a dealer to do it all for that you need to jump on it. I totally enjoy the way my car looks, rides and handles now. It is money WELL spent:biggrin:

no, I don't have a connection der...maybe they misunderstood my question?
I'll ask them again just in case.

btw, how uncomfortable is the drive after the drop?

The ride is almost no different than it was before. The first thing I noticed was that the nose doesn't dip during gear changes anymore and no nose down during hard braking. Highway driving is smooth as stock, with just a hint of sport stiffness. Cornering is nice and level. I drove over a bumpy road with no harsh consequences. I don't feel like I've given anything up, in fact, I've gained in all areas.:thumbsup:

[bruceleroy]

Been thinking about this for my 04 V6 Coupe. It has quite a bit of miles on it. I have been thinking either the H&Rs or Eibachs. At 77,000 miles, do you think it is a good idea to change the struts too?

[The Q]

bruceleroy - $203 was the cheapest I could find and they were the only ones who had a set for the I4 instock.

Left-Laner - If I were you and could afford it, I'd change the struts at the same time. Maybe see if Eibach has struts for your application and then do a complete up grade.

Browsing through the advancespeedshop.com website. The cost of the springs seem reasonable enough. I see they carry Tokico gas shocks at $242 for the set. That seems reasonable also for a Tokico product.
