I got up Saturday to install all 4 spring/shocks and I only ended up doing 2. I really love the way it looks just like this. I seems perfectly even all around. However the ride is much worse. I figured this pics would be helpful for those thinking about doing just the front.

 

did you get the rear adj. AGX shocks? I wonder if it will ride better with them and the oem springs.

 

Looks great!!

 

Ahhh sweet looking. Gotta get me a set of something to lower my ride. Coilovers?

 

Looks good - I LOVE my drop. I have only noticed a slightly harsher ride - nothing to write home about

 

Id still do all four, it looks like the car is under brakeing.

 

I'm so jealous. I'm waiting for my struts to come in. I've got the springs and shocks waiting to be installed. I wanted to have it done for the DCMAX meet this weekend but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. At any rate, your car looks good now but it will look even better once you're done.

 

I sugguest that you install the other two and the ride should be better.

 

Excellent look.............still waiting on my kid to come thru with my springs!

 

Car looks great.. Hope you are semi happy with the set up. I don't know why the eibachs make noise. It sucks. I had springs on every car I ever had never had problems. Good luck.

 

Hamy - Those wheels are hot. Can't wait til I can save up enough money to get them.

04 maxse - Thanks again for hooking me up with the phone number for the wheel guys.

 

Looks great, I still would of done all 4...

 

I think the lowered front makes the car now look even. Looks great as is. How much worse is the ride with just the front lowered. Is it tolerable? This is what I am planning on doing. Looks so much better without the front 4x4 looking gap that mine has.

 

I think it looks great, but it would be better to do all fours....Why have different spring ratings for the front compared to the stock rear...The ratings of springs work together ( all four having the same rating) , that is why they are not sold in pairs.

 

Did you cut the bump stops? On my 95 I forgot to orig do that and man did it take the bumps hard. Realized I didn't cut them. After cutting much and I mean much better ride. Gaining back suspension travel=better ride

 

Hamy and Defib- Are those stock wheels? I am currently looking at getting a Max, and love both of your wheels..

 

Gorgeous. Eibachs all around make the car look terrible, IMO. The rear sits way too low and looks like it's sagging.

 

wow. nice.

 

Mine doesn't look like it's sagging and I have all 4. Sits perfect and mean

 

do all four Hamy, the ride will get better with the whole set...

I did the same with the coils, I could only do the front two at first and it rode like **** till I got the rears in.. the whole ride got so much better and firm instead of bouncy like it was..

 

I like your house hamy! Nice backdrop!

 

Ummm.....NO. The springs are not all the same rating and probably aren't even the same dimensions. The springs front and rear should compliment eachother so that they basically have the same frequency when you are driving as to not keep the car oscillating. There are many factors in determining spring rates including motion ratios, desired wheel travel, weight at spring locations, etc.

 

Ive read that the spring rates of nissan OEM vehicles are undisclosed.

 

Agree, the spring hieghts are different and a lot more goes into determining spring rating, however the spring coil diameter (thickness of the spring) and strength are different than the OEM and all 4 should be installed to compliment each other. You will be loosing the true performance enhancment of the ride without the total package.

Put one person in the back of your ride with the OEM spring and your ride will probable drop 1" in the rear. With a .08" drop from the Eibach, and the weight of the same person, it may drop you only an additional half inch because of the increase stiffness of the spring working with the rear struts. It's your ride, this is strictly my opinion. Your car still looks great, but get what you paid for, the whole package...

PS, I have the springs on my car and installed them myself, so I am speaking from experience, not my keyboard...

The picture below is an all Eibach dropped side view of my ride, looks pretty level to me and I have bags of groceries and my daughter sitting in the back seat, and a truck full of American Red Cross rescue gear in my trunk...

 

sharp ride chern

 

Sorry, one last comment, if you really look closely (not that close, back up) at the first picture you posted of your ride, it's not level, the rear is higher than the front but you get a preception that it's straight because now the front and rear wheel gaps look about the same. My Opinion Only... By the way, love the house...

 

Thanks bro, will look even better when I get the ground effects kit on from RedLineMax. PEACE...

 

You should see it in person. The pics just don't do it justice.

 

Love the way it looks.....

 

Thanks..The wheels are TSW S-5, 20x8.5 and surprisingly the ride is still good!

 

Thanks bro, your ride at the DC RCP BBQ meet looked slamin also, thats why it's on my web site, page 5. Great meeting you, see you at the next meet...

 

".......if you really look closely (not that close, back up) at the first picture you posted of your ride, it's not level, the rear is higher than the front but you get a preception that it's straight because now the front and rear wheel gaps look about the same......"

Agreed, but it looks even SWEETER that way!!
I got a set of Eibachs waiting to go on.

Hamy, let me know how it rides with just the front done. I am really considering doing the same thing.

(for sale.....set of rear Eibachs )

 

hamy-

do you have any noise issue with koni/eibachs in the front?

 

I'm getting my Eibachs put on tomorrow. I also have the adjustable Koni struts and adjustable AGX shocks. For any of you are using this setup, what do you recommend I set the adjustments at?

 

what is the best set up with no noise issues? I am thinking about H.R springs with adjustable shocks etc

 

make sure you set the rear were you want, cause once they are in you won't be able to adjust them anymore..

 

Why is that? I figured I'd just have to jack the car up and pull the wheel to make an adjustment.

 

never mind, those shocks are "side mounted adjustable" that you can get to easy..

if you had the "top mounted" ones you wouldn't be able to get to it cause the top of the strut goes in the well on the rear of the car, making it imposible to get to them for adjustments..

see here:

 

that sucks. i wonder if the tein electronic damping force controller's compatible with the ksport coilovers. can someone investigate? i would do it myself, but i'm currently deployed to middle east. here's stillen site with the controller

yep on the K-sport you won't be able to adjust them when you want.. you will need to uninstall the whole thing to adjust it..
