Well ive got the Eibach lowering springs on the way from KFX performance and they should be here by the weeked but im curious as to some opinions from some ppl that have installed them. any difference in ride and if so is it bad/big/good? also, i will not have any strut bars yet but will be ordering them soon after. which one(s) should i invest in first? also i have a CAI coming in too.

There's a little less body roll, the strut bars should help even more on that. As far as ride quality I don't think you're gonna notice that much of a change.

But they're gonna look damn good, that's for sure.

Mine is an SX Koup, and I didn't notice much difference in ride firmness with the Eibach springs. There is not as much travel before they come up against the rubber bump stops so you will notice that over larger bumps/dips. However, I believe yours is an EX Koup, and therefor the stock ride is much softer than the SX. This leads to an interesting question and I'll be VERY interested on what you report after you get the springs in.

The way I see it, IF the REASON for the difference in ride stiffness between the stock SX and the EX is primarily the springs, then the Eibachs should seem much stiffer than what you are used to on the EX. If the reason for the difference (stock) is primarily the shocks, then the Eibachs won't make too much difference, just as they don't on the SX.

Like I said, please report your findings when you're done.

Wow, never thought about that... Good question! I want to know that too!

lleader good info on that. I've had my springs on order for two months- told it would be between 2-3 months- so any day now

I have installed Eibach springs on two Supras. The One I used to own and the one I own now. The one I used to own, I also replaced the shocks. There was a night and day difference plus a drop of 2" roughly when installed. Although its a supra, its still using the same product. Eibach are the best in my opinion, come on they are made by a German company, you know where Im going with this.. Germany, Nurburgring.. BMW.. etc. Anyways, Handling went way up on my supra and she turned much sharper than before. On my current supra, both springs and shocks were replaced, It handles much better than it did, but due to a dead center feeling in the steering wheel and lose play, I dont get exact feed back. Since you guys are installing these items on a new car, you will see a big difference in handling.

I haven't noticed any difference in ride quality since installing my Eibach springs, but I only had my car for about a week with the stock springs

 

[OrangeCrush]

Did you need the camber bolts they offer??

 

[XSpectra5_Owner]

DEKZ which model did you get, the EX or SX? Spring alone may not change the ride difference too much.. Just a thought.

 

[Dekz]

SX, I didn't order any camber bolts.
