I'm looking to buy some Eibach or Tein springs. My current Eibach springs have lost compression. I can actually move them about 3 inches each way while mounted on the car... Anyone know where I can find these things *Cheap* NEW? Also, I would like to replace all my bushings while I'm working on the suspension. I'm leaning towards ENERGY SUSPENSION. What bushing kit(s) should I buy? I saw the control arm bushing kit... what else should I get?

Springs don't lose compression.
Which way do they move? Makes no sense.

What is the ride height? That will determine if your springs have sagged.
If they have sagged, I'd contact Eibach first to see if they would replace them.
It's worth a shot.

 

lol

 

I can actually move the springs side to side about 4 inches... If the compression was there, I would not be able to move them at all. In fact, when I turn my steering wheel, I here clunks. The springs are clunking. It's as if it clicks about 1/2 inch in a new direction every time I turn the steering wheel in a new direction... Plus, my car looks like 2 inches lower than it has been for the last two years. I rub on my driveway and that has never happened in the past.

Eibach does not want to help me because I dont have a receipt to where I bought them from like 5 years back!

 

LoL

Please show me how on god's green earth is that possible

 

You are probably experiencing a combination of seized strut bearings and worn load-carrying ball joints. I only hear you talking about your springs. When if ever have you replaced the struts? Your springs probably have sagged over the course of 5 years but don't go around telling people they have lost compression, because that is incorrect. ES Bushings are good stuff, but you should probably get entirely new control arms since the ball joints are non-serviceable on these control arms. Where there is a will, there is a way in terms of replacing just the joints, but I wouldn't recommend it. Just replace the control arms, this way you can put the bushings on and have them ready to install rather dealing with the nightmare of getting the old ones off from your stock ones.

 

look in the classifieds section??? you can often find someone who bought them to put on their car and didnt find the time to or really needs the money now...
