I finally got the chance to take care of my baby. I bought a 2001 BMW 740i and man it is a nightmare. Anyway's, I currently have Tokico Illumina adjustable in the rear and I think I have eibach in the rare as springs. The 350Z 17inch rims I have in the back are rubbing the wheel well. I do not know how much drop I have but I want some springs NOT too low and not too high to look like a horse. I guess its a common question here but I am really need some piece of advice to sort this issue.

I want to change my rear springs my Tokico Illumina adjustable struts are fairly new. Any advice would help. Thank you.-Sal

 

Progress springs > *

 

^^ where to buy em ?>

 

I believe Cattman sells them.

 

would that solve my problem? I would take your word but any other input in regards to the progressive springs ?

 

Eibachs are a VERY stiff spring. You want Htech's, H&R's, or Progress for a softer spring. I have Progress springs on my car right now and some Illuminas in my room that are waiting to be installed. This will be a VERY smooth setup.

 

Thanx man for the advise, I will surely order some progress springs. Thank you

 

H&R or Progress are what u want if u want a smooth comfy ride and dont see track time

 

Eibachs aren't stiff for normal driving. They're stiff when going over bumps and dips, but that's expected. I actually think the ride is soft on eibach.

Best bet w/Tok struts are Tok springs, of course.

good day,
i have a GROUND CONTROL coil-over set up (range of adjustment is about 3 inches) for use with tokico brand shocks and struts for sale...any interest? the kit comes standard with eibach springs and i can include Stillen camber plates with pillow ball upper mount for the front struts. email jrong@alltel.net
directly for pictures

 

^^ this guys a post *****, maybe needs a vaca.

eibachs are not that low in the rear. they are a 1.3" drop. there is maybe 1 other spring thats higher, maxspeed. h&r's are either the same or lower and progress are definetly lower. but you may no really have eibachs.

im working on a special lower but soft suspension. basically drop the car but using (some type of) OEM springs.

 

Call up Eibach or Ground Control. They've got a whole range of springs to match whatever type of driving or ride quality you want.

I just checked you were right, I do have actually H & R springs. I guess I should really consider Maxspeed.

I really dont care about racing it or anything, I just want some springs which wont hit the wheel well one four people are sitting in the car.

Having said that, you reckon that Maxspeed would be ok?

 

H&R is the best ride...

 

you may or may not rub with maxspeeds. its hard to say since you arent running the stock size wheel. you may be better off with a booster to lift the rear somewhat.

h&r springs are really nice and id hate to see you switch to maxspeeds only to fint out you still rub or the ride is too harsh.
