need to change struts and shocks, about to order... just wondering do I need something else to buy in same shot...bushings or some other parts? have eibach springs instaled about month ago...

 

Just curious, how many miles have you put on the eibachs and what mileage did you have them installed?

 

had ~86k before eibachs and now almost 87k...
after week when was installed my new springs, I heard clicking-crackling noise when I turned any direction, noise come from front pas. side...so I thought something wrong with my spring, not siting directly or something...and when I went to mechanic He sad it`s because of front strut bearing...and He recommends to change my shocks and struts...If I`d know before I bought eibachs, I would buy coilowers for same price now...

 

Ya that is terrible and I understand, the good news is there is aftermarket front and rears available for our cars so you'll save a few bucks. I had my eibachs installed at roughly 32k, and now have 38k. So far so good, knock on wood but let us know how you make out

 

Time for some BC's.

Excuse my ignorance please, but am I understanding correctly that coil overs are the entire set up for suspension and can be adjusted as where the ebachs springs are just springs and not adjustable?

 

Coil over suspension is linear rate springs along with adjustable height bodies.
Eibachs are shorter and stiffer progressive rate springs that are put with shocks and struts.
Shocks and struts can be factory units or aftermarket with different valving and heights.

 

Thanks Max, now I have more questions lol. But I'll google those.

 

When I had my eibach springs installed I had the same weird noise coming from the front passenger side too. But for me, the shop said it was not sitting properly and didn't really do much to fix it. The noise went away on its own after two months or so.

 

That what I thought first, not siting properly...bet in shop explain like strut bearing fault...so I what I should to do now? should I wait or change my all shocks anyway..

 

I would pull the wheels off and make sure the springs are seated in the cups properly.

The ride will get really bouncy with eibachs and blown shocks.

I put eibachs on my maxima at 60k miles. At 93k miles the shocks and struts were DONE. Nothing left for damping and rebound.

I have been on BCs for over 40k miles now with no complaints

 

well, I just checked, and springs sits nice and tight...just my struts looks rusty, specially were joints...so I`m sure now to order new ones... Thanks guys.
