eibach springs question

[melissa26]

Hello out there,
Has anyone installed the eibach springs from kappasphere?
If so do you like the results and how much of a difference did it make?
Thanks,
Melissa

Hi Melissa, I don't have it, but I think YellowSky installed it on his 2.4L Sky. From all external appearance & I discussed this w/ YS this past WE on our Keys run, the car did not "physically" look like it was lower to the ground. According to YS where you do see a difference is in the wheel wells themselves, the tires are "higher" in there, if I recall were the words he used. Or the body was closer to the top of the wheels, hope that makes sense to ya--

the car is only goin down 1 inch so its not that big of a drop.. u can see it in the wheel well gap you can forget ramps jacks and pretty much everything else after lowering it.. i have the GMPP sway bars and shocks with the kappa springs it is one stiff handling car let me tell ya!! just look @ the pics of all the cars goin round the turn that are posted in the southeast forum and look how my car has pretty much no lean.. hope this helps you out !

I have them....heres a little pros and cons list I made for you.

Pros:
Better handling
Better looking lower stance

Cons:
Noise over bumps
Since its lower its much easier to hit on bumps and dips

If you like a quiet ride stay away from these because I do hear noises over bumps ever since I had them installed.
If you like to drive and not worry about hitting stuff then stay away from this mod also.

I could care less about the cons so I am happy with them =)

SIDE NOTE:::: I upgraded my wheels to 19s before I had the lowering spring installed and I could feel every bump on the road and it made me regret putting on the 19s but once I had the lowering springs installed it was a different animal

Hope this helps

I have the Eibach Sportline 2" springs and love them, absolutely no noise if
properly installed.........must remember to shorten the bump stops,
I have 20'' Weld wheels and Dunlop Sport Maxx tires 245-35-20" and
ride quality is near stock but handling is much improved in my opinion
this is a must to make a SKY look right.
