I have stock struts and have no problems (Tokicos in my trunk that haven't been installed yet). The ride is harsh, but the handling makes up for it.

I bought them for $227 from Stillen.

Depends on miles on your stock shocks. It'll most likely be okay for a few thousand miles, then will degenerate into a rough, bouncy ride as the stock shocks wear and eventually leak....

I'd change 'em out at the same time to save on labor if you are planning to have a shop do the install, the savings will be well worth your money.

I had 25K on my stock 4th Gen shocks when I installed the Eibach Pro's. 20K later my stock struts are toast. Everyone says the stock ones can't take lowering and I believe em.

(Same thing happened on my last car)

Springs combined with the rear-sway are a great thing!

it looks to me like you're sayin' - $150 with alignement.
if i'm right, i'd be interested. You're a lil far, but i'll go the extra mile just to get it done by someone who has done it already, and knows exactly what to do.
thnx
let me know if $150 is what you had in mind.
peace

Nothing serious,just a harsh ride on bumpy roads. If you live in an smooth road area its ok, if not, welcome to the club.

I got mine installed for about $120.00 at a very good shop... if you need springs I can get you the name and #.. they give good deals... I have been going there for 4 yrs.

I got the Eibach's awhile back ago and i love the ride its a lot tighter and the turns are a lot sharper. The ride is a little stiff but the on lookers are well worth the drop plus it makes it look sportier...

If they can touch $220 + shipping, I'll be amazed.




Dude-

I got em on carparts.com for 186$ with shipping and tax the eibachs were 206$$ 33% off carparts.com is nice if you can wait for their crappy service.

For the shocks...that is a really good deal... how long do the tokicos last?

What you're telling me is that carparts.com is selling Eibachs for 37.5% off list and a coupon for 33% off ?
Totalling out to 44% off (including tax) retail ?
Sounds fishy to me, I work closely with The East Coast Distributor for Eibach, and he even told me,not too many stores will touch my price of $220.
Anyhow, I posted it up, to benefit all of you.
I guess I should find out something about carparts.com I don't know about. If their list prices are that low, wonder what their dealer pricing is ?


In reply again, yo- you are a smart guy and probably offer up far better customer service than those bozos at carparts.com but they list the eibachs at 273 ok then they take 33% off which is 180 something. That is why I went with them. With shipping and everything they were $207 for the pro-kit for the maxima. It took almost two weeks to get here, but for even 20$ bucks it is worth it for me on my college budget...

As for the springs, I haven't seen anyone lower than you- but again... you can go to carparts.com and get 33% off up to 100$ bucks so say they list em at 550$? then it is 450$ that is a big difference! What they are doing is deficit spending to win customers. I've worked at 5 dot com companies and they all like to do this and it doesn't work, but people use them as much as possible b4 they go belly up.

Good luck, and maybe I'll do business with you someday. You seem super knowledgable and helpful. It is hard to compete with their deep pockets but your strength is that you know max's a hella of a lot better than they do.
