Eibach Opinions

I just got a pair of used eibach springs which i am going to have installed in the spring when i get some struts. Just wondering how everyone liked them, do you think they are the best spring performance wise? I know I heard they are a little stiff but i don't mind as long as they perform well. Thanks to anyone that responds.

P.S. I have the CE FSTB also, going to get a RSB as with the struts when i have the dough. Can't Wait!!

I put Eibach on my car about a year ago and couldn't be happier. Your ride will handle better and the car will look great! Bumpy roads suck more but what are you to do!

I know they look great with a nice strut combo, but never been in a max that had them, heard great things though.
Good luck

Good choice. I love mine. Had them on for 4 years. No problems. Probably H&R's would be softer, but I like the firm ride.

had Eibachs on ny 4th gen, and they were the best handling springs IMO. The trade off really is the ride sucks on bumpy rought roads.,I think the key with them is you have to mate them with the right Struts/shocks. I had mine with the blues and over time the blues could not handle them. I eventually went to H&R AGx , H&R is a lot more bearable for me since I have many crappy road on my commute. you won't be dissapointed with Eibachs.

I can only echo what everyone else has said. I love my Eibach's. Nice looking drop and good handling. I have no complaints.

I had Eibach before. Had no problem. Only reason why I switched to S-Tech was to go little lower.

Very stiff but you can get use to it.

they give the car a nite and day ride without being too harsh. coupled up with a decent shock you can get a superb ride from them.
