what a pain in the a$$. how many times did you install and uninstall to fit your preference? just a question.

 

I just put them on half way cause there is a 50/50 chance of me liking them, HAHAHA.. I set them there and hoped i liked it..

theres not much you can do..

 

did you install the coilovers yourself?

 

yes I did............

 

3 more months and i get drive and work on my baby. i envy you all

 

Okay, you had me worried for a minute. Everything is on the car now. I can just reach through the spokes in my wheels to adjust the shocks Anyway, the ride is firmer now and so far I haven't heard any noise from the suspension. The handling is great too. A lot less body roll. We'll see what the next few weeks bring. I'll post some pics soon.

 

Any word on how that is riding with just the fronts done Hamy?

 

boone-

what suspension setup do you have? do you have the koni, kyb/eibachs?

 

Yup, that's it.

 

oh okay... i asked the same quetion in the other thread. i have the same setup but experiencing noise problem in the front. good luck. hope you're one of the lucky ones

 

Did your noises start right away or did it take a while? I wrapped the upper coils of the front springs with wire wrap to hopefully head off any potential problem there. In putting the struts back together, Cardana and I noticed that there only seems to be only one correct way they could go back together. If you try to do anything else, the springs will not seat properly. What kind of noise are you getting?

 

i'm experiencing popping sound with koni/front with eibachs after the springs settled. my friend and i took the front shock/spring apart many times trying to figure out where the noise is coming from, but had no luck. i might just try the wire wrap before i go with the coilover set.

 

Ok a few weeks have gone by now time for a more in depth review. Currently i'm still lowered on Koni Yellows/Eibachs up front and full stock rear. With the Konis set a few clicks from loose I have a GREAT ride. A bit more stiff...large improvement over stock. BUT the noise is unreal. It clicks and bangs over most bumps. Now turn the konis to full stiff and ALL noise goes away. BUT the ride is horrible. The back bounces around like a civic and the front stays planted. I have it some where in the middle now and its ok. This noise is just crazy...where the hell is it coming from? WHO KNOWS? I've taken them on and off plenty of times with no luck.

I think i'm going to keep this setup for this season and when I sell the Z sell all this stuff and start over. (Getting Married! ) Its not as bad as I make it out to be...I just expect alot out of cars. But hell it only has 2k on it and it shouldn't be making these squeeks and ****. I'll probably end up slamming it on coils with some VIP style deep dish wheels next spring. Till them i'll put up with this setup. I'd be glad to answer any more questions.

 

I did my max the same way just in the front... the popping noise is nasty im considering putting the stocks back on. It just sounds like the whole gd suspension is creaking and ready to go.

BTW can someone IM me please on where they are getting aftermarket struts for the front? I cannot find any.. Well the active tuning ones for like 575 is that the one you guys are using?

 

^ I'm using the Koni Yellows from Active Tuning.

 

Dang, you all got me real scared to spend the cash and get the Eibach springs put on. I would really hate to waste the money....especially if I had to pay to get the stocks put back on. I wanted HRs but they lower the back too much (duh!).

A poll would be nice to see how many have Eibachs and then out of those, how many are getting the noise/popping. Seems to me like most people with Eibachs are having this problem.

 

I read somewhere on here recently someone mention a fix for the popping noise that Eibach Springs were causing, some kind of hose or something, i need to know what type exactly, what size to buy? where i can buy it? and any other info anyone got...please please

 

I know quite a few ppl who have the eibachs and have had no problem. I live in Brooklyn. NY and we have alot of messed up streets. I have mine on for over a year and there is no popping or any type of noise.

 

Yeah I ran mine for a year and a half with out a peep or a squeak!!!

 

No sound on mine either after 18+ months...
