Eibach Springs Discontinued for the Taurus

[LOUDSHO92]

We confirmed it with our supplier. Eibach has dicontinued all springs for the Taurus. It looks like Moogs or Intrax are the only options.

That sucks salty nuts.

 

[SHOGUN88]

Im glad that Intrax is back in the game atleast. Im going to sell my eibachs and get some intrax.

 

[frosho]

Dibs.

Actually, wanna trade? Got some Intrax in the basement...

 

[zblackbeast]

***.... too bad intrax wont work with anything other than koni's really..

 

[SeanMc]

I had Eibachs, I didn't like them. No big loss.

 

[VortecGT]

looks like I got mine just in time, still see them on ebay though. That wont last long!

 

[St Louis SHO]

Well, it is a 14 year old car. There's so many used sets out there still.

what's the life expectancy on a 10,000mi/year street driven car with sensa-tracks? i got my set second hand, they were never installed in a car till they went in mine. i'm just curious now as to how long they'll probably last out here in AZ where the potholes aren't too abundant and i dont really beat on it as much as the first year i've owned the car.

Why? I ran Intrax and Tockicos on the front of my car for a good year with no issues. Eric Vervailin is still running them.

If you want them to last, run good struts esepcially in the rear.

Discontinued struts don't count.

FWIW though I'm running Intrax/Tokico in my '93.

It sucks to see only ShoSource and one or two others dedicated fully to keeping SHO's going with performance parts.

I had a 97 Jetta GLX VR6 and the ability to buy any type of performance part was astounding. Even MK1 and MK2 VW's have a full supply of excellent parts to get.

Consider that being lucky. I am happy to see we still have options. The SHO was never picked up widely by major aftermarket parts distributors. For the longest time, SHO Shop was the only real game and many, including myself, were screwed over by them.

That is crappy news, i bought my monroes with that rebate and think intrax will be too much for them.

 

[greengiant]

so whats the difference between eibachs and intrax

The difference is Intrax are better :sun:

Glad I got mine I guess, I liked them for the 500 miles I put on them before it got parked and torn apart.

B&G also make springs for the SHO (for the gen II for sure, dont know about other models)
