i replaced my intrax springs with used eibachs, the front looks fine.. i can fit 1 finger into the gap.. the back looks a bit high.. i've let the car settle for about 2 weeks now and it doesn't seem like its getting any lower.. there's about a 2 finger gap.. i'm not sure if that's the normal height of a maxima.. can anyone with eibachs springs please let me know if the drop is correct? thanks

 

I have the opposite problem, 3 finger gap in the front and 1.5 finger in the back. Strange

 

mines the same way, 1 finger gap in front and 2 finger gap in the rear. I guess thats how it is.

 

Same here.

 

maybe you put yours in back ward??

 

I think cars look better with the rear end up a little. To me it looks like a more agressive stance, kinda like a RWD car, i think if a car is really low and flat it looks too ricey.

 

Exactly, which is why I went with Intrax

I HATE it when the rear looks lower. The car may be even, but because the wheel wells arent the same height, the rear looks lower alot of times. Most spring companies dont seem to notice this

 

Could it be because most of the weight is in the front which then causes it to drop more?

 

But wouldnt the springs be designed for the different weight ratios? Im sure the front springs are stiffer than the back because Eibach knows that they will be supporting more weight.

 

This is exactly why I'm ditching my Eibachs and trying out the B&Gs. Intrax are a bit too much drop for a region that gets snow, IMHO.

 

sub box

 

Just did my Springs/Shocks and have the same results, 1 finger in front 2 fingers in back. I figured my 2 12's, Amp's and Dynamat will even me out.

 

I cant get any fingers in front or back

 

I dunno what you guys are talking about..

Rear: http://mattblehm.com/pics/car/wheels/IM000578.jpg

oh wait.. I'm not on the same eibachs.

 

lol.. nice matt.. i hope my springs will settle more oh well at least the ride is better than my other intrax springs..

 

I got Eibach on my system and it looks really weird. Like Mike said, I got about 3 fingers in front and 1.5 on the back. Yeah, mine looks just like Matt's picture. It looks kinda ghetto that the drops were not even front and back.

 

Ok, now I've heard about shops putting the springs on upside down I think. Whats the giveaway to tell if they are upside down. Not front in rear and rear in front, but I remember hearing issues about upside down.

 

when installing your eibach, make sure you're able to read eibach logo properly once you've put them on otherwise they're upside down. that's how you tell.

 

I wish mine looked like that. i have like 3 in front and 1 in back. i just ordered a set of these. are the lengths of the springs different? is there anything else i should look out for?

 

umm.. when i installed my eibachs, the words on the spring are upside down after i install them onto the car itself.

 

... everyone with 3 in the front and 1.5 at the back, take the dead bodies out of your trunks...

i can't remember who said that, but it's a good tip

 

The Eibachs are a 1.2" drop front and back. In stock form the front is lower than the rear, so it'll be the lower of the two after the install as well. They aren't set up to compensate after the install and lower things evenly. It'll be 1.2 regardless.

 

Ok, My springs where installed upside down. What are the negative effects of this and do they have to be flipped over???

 

That doesnt make sense to me, because a stock car doesnt have the front up higher than the rear. And if it drops exactly 1.2 inches like you say, and doesnt change at all from that number, then shouldnt it be angled EXACTLY how it was when stock, just exactly 1.2 inches lower?
