Eibach springs?

Postby OuTLaWOwnz » Thu May 03, 2012 6:49 pm

Anyone know if Eibach springs are still available for Gen4 Libertys? They arn't listed in Eibachs catalogs anymore. I need some springs to suite my MY07 GT specB. Ride quality matters and I heard these ride very nicely but I have no idea what part numbers I need or if they are still available.

Since they will lower the car a little, do you find them slightly more harsh than the stock springs on the bilsteins?

I also have the eibachs on bilsteins and absolutely love the ride and handling. Wish they were a touch lower but other than cosmetically I love them. Had king springs before and they were rubbish (came with the car)

I have the Eibach's on Bilsteins also.... I also hade them on KYB's but my KYB's were shot.. Didnt realise how nice the eibachs were until i got the Billies installed about 2 months ago... LIke Mick, i wish that it sat a tad lower (10-15mm) but now i dont need to be as careful with the slight increase in height..

Here is a guide to the height with Bilstein's & Eibachs.

Keep in mind, theres probably rough another 60kg in the back of the car.

Here is a pic of my car. I have Eibach springs with bilstein struts/shocks and have no issues with the ride.

How firm is the ride compared to stock bilstein springs?

Thanks guys. I've seen a few that sit low at the back after the springs are changed. Those pics didnt look too bad.

Apparently the supplier told the suspension place near me that these Eibach springs are no longer in production. Anyone know otherwise or have any suggestions on what else gives a nice ride with Bilstein shocks and doesn't lower too much? I was thinkin' Tein S-Tech but they have a much bigger drop.

Wonder if Tein H-Tech are any better. Cant really exceed $1000 by much for this. If there are any coilovers in that price that are reasonably comfortable I could go with that, as long as they are quality and ride nicely.

Swift have been recommended to me.
Also consider the bumpstops upgrade or mod:
