So, to be brief with the problem, it seems that my rear Eibachs have settled more than I care for/like -the car is flat, nearly perfectly horizontal and rear gap noticeably smaller than the front's whereas when first installed, the car had a slight rake and more balanced wheel gap.

No, the 64k question: is it your opinion that a set of H&R rear springs (considered by most to have a slightly smaller drop than the Eibachs, regardless what the specs say) fix that permanently? If so, is anyone selling a set?

 

what struts do you use now?

I dont think anyone is selling just the rear springs. I dont recommand doing it because the ride quality will change.






Koni rear struts have a 2-level high adjust. I set it on high level and the drop in the rear is lower than the front.

 

The sad part is that I like how the front of the car looks (and rides) with the Eibachs, it's just the rear that's dropped a bit too much.

What I was thinking of was buying a complete (used, cheap) set of both front and rear H&Rs and installing only the rears, leaving the Eibachs -with their slightly larger relative drop- in the front.

Oh well...

 

Maybe you should go buy some some Maxspeeds and use the rear coils. They don't cost that much, and I bet will ride just as good if not better than many other springs. Then maybe you could sell the front coils to someone how wants to just eliminate the front gap. Who knows. I wouldn't do that, but someone just might. I have Maxspeeds and the rear looks just fine to me.

 

remember, I'm wondering how to raise the rear a tad versus the Eibachs...arent the Maxspeeds a bit lower than Eibachs?

 

no...maxspeeds are higher....and I'm thinking no where near as stiff

 

how about the stock springs in the rear, after all the rear fender had a nice gap all around in my opinion.

 

That was my idea to use maxspeeds in the front and stock in the rear, but other .org members said it wouldn't be a good ride, or safe. I think it would look nice but I know to take advice when offered.

thought the inverse, that they were a tad lower than the Eibachs..you sure?? And softer, too?? If yes, that might be perfect, because indeed the rear Eibachs are a bit harsh...the frots are perfect, imho but the rears could use some softening up...

 

Yeah it may have been me who said that the Maxspeed just up front wasn't a good ride. I drove around for a day with just the maxspeeds up front and the car seemed really boucy over bumbs and leaned forward. Not a good idea.
