than the H&R Springs? I know all about the ride difference, and I'm going for handling performance and a lower look to reduce that 4x4 fender gap, in which Eibachs Prokit Springs offer. On the forum, I've been hearing the Eibachs lower a 5th Gen Max lower than than stats actually say (1.3/1.0) is this really true??

I'll be going for Tokico Blues as well (I have them on my Z32, along with Eibachs, and I'm quite happy with the setup)

So are they (the Eibachs) actually lower than the H&R's on a 5th Gen Max???

Thanks Guys

eibachs are lower then they claim. i have eibachs and tokico's so if you want to see the actual drop go to my homepage. i also have a comparison with red lines to show before and after on the drop. As far as them being lower then H&R's, i'm pretty sure they are lower from what i heard from other org members. Not by much, but indeed lower.

 

Yes they are. I had Eibachs and then went with H&R's for a smoother ride. The Eibach's looked about 1/4 - 1/2 inch lower in the front.

 

pmas hows the ride with the toks and eibachs???? im needing new struts and shocks soon

 

if you check out my homepage i give a nice description of the pros and cons. briefly, though, its rougher at first but you get used to it after like 3 days or so. handles ten times better then stock and the drop is nice. not too much, but not to little. go for it. its a good setup.

 

I measured, very carefully, the distance between the top center of the tire and the fender lip, both front and back, before and after installing mine. I went with KYB GR-2's and the Eibach's. The front drop was 1.75 inches and the back 1.0 inch. Hope this helps. I'll update the pictures on my website in the next couple weeks so you can see for yourself.

thanks for the info, im used to a rough ride my front shocks are going out quick, plus i think nissan screwed up on mine my fronts are tokicos(from the SE inless some gxes came with them) and i cant find the pt number on the rears.

 

I have the Eibach's with the KYB-AGX ajustables and I think it is a little lower than they say. Look at my sit to see......I will warn you that the car looks lower than it really is because of the ground effect.
And my car handles very well.
