Got My Eibachs Installed!!!!

I put my eibachs in on saturday and so far.......I LOVE THEM!!!! It already handles like a freak. I can pretty much kick the tail out on hard turns cause i still haven't got my new Nitto's on yet. Is it worth getting the RSB now? Will it really help a lot more? I've heard it makes noises when you corner hard or hit big bumps. Did anyone have the eibachs before they got the RSB? Thanks

I've got eibachs and the addco RSB. I had the noises on bumps but that has been solved (use search). I would also say YES it is VERY worth it.

Get the RSB. I'm still confused about whether i should get the H&R's or Eibach's. I need to see the H&R Stance.

Can't find the fix for the clunking noise. Do you guys know who origially posted the thread? Thanks for the advice about the RSB, i am gonna get it for christmas How about the RSTB? Heard that was a waste of money and trunk space.

Fix for clunking... move the passenger side bracket on the addco RSB inward. Stillen's RSB doesn't have this problem and "only" costs about $100 more.

RSTB has been said isn't worth it except for extreme driving.. IE autocross. Normal street driving probably won't show a difference.

Cool, thanks. I am actually hearing a little clunk coming from the front end when i turn the steering wheel when i am at a stop. It never did it before the Eibachs. Could something still be lose, or is that just the expected sound? Thanks

I get the same sound. It's possibly an issue with your struts, there was a TSB on it. It could just be from the additional load caused by the Eibach's stiffer spring rate.

Don't know where my clunk is coming from but since I got my car back from the body shop my car makes a loud clunk when I go over medium to big bumps. I'll probably take the RSB off and see if it goes away. Oh also my RSB is from $tealin'
