Eibach springs (anybody have pics)

[yamahaSHO]

Anybody have any pics of a gen II with eibachs? If so, do you have a before and after pic? I want to improve handling and lower the car, but with slicers I think the intrax are too low for my taste. I want the car to remain stock appearance.
Thanks
Jason

Don't have a pict, but if you're still running with stock springs, chances are you'll see about the same height with new Eibachs, if not a little bit higher due to sagging in your stock springs.

Aren't the eibachs supposed to run 1" front and 1/2" rear drop. My car sets really high in the front and really just right in the back. It will sag with just a 120lbs person in the back. Look at the pics of my car and tell me how you think it sets.

This pic is of my old SHO (RIP) with Eibachs/Tokicos. I used the Police Bearings, they are a 1/2 inch or taller than the std. bearings. Also, the car is wear 17x8 TSW Hock R's and 225/45 Bridgestone RE40s.

Kinda small pic, cant really see the gap. From what I am hearing the eibachs don't lower the car at all. I met I guy who can get me the eibachs for $235 and the intrax for just under $200. He just put the intrax on his 92 and I think the rear sets a little too low.

Yeah I thought it was long too, just was waiting for someone to tell me. I will condense next time. Thanks for being honest with me.

Yes, BUT, as I said, if you are still running on your original 7+ year old springs, they've probably sagged as low or lower than new Eibach's would lower your car. Eibachs will give you a stock appearance, but be prepared for the possibility that they might in fact raise the car higher than it is now!

This brought up something that I found. When I went to the Eibach/Koni combo on the '95, the rear came UP a 1/4", and the front dropped a full inch......BUT......the LF strut mount/bearing was a bit cockeyed (possibly from the factory). It always looked like the front on mine sat too high. It also made it a bear to remove! My car had 85K on it when I changed them last Summer.

if i can get a pic of my car soon i will post it here. i have a gen 2 with eibachs. my stockers were horrible and i noticed a slight lower stance. hopefully i can get some new pics soon.

 

[PaulRuffo]

Here's a couple pictures of my car. 94 with tokico eibach.

 

[RonPorter]

Here are Before and After Eibach shots. Front dropped an inch. Although it's hard to see in the pics, the front is noticeably lower. I still need to adjust the headlights up higher!

I am running Eibachs in my 94 ATX but I am going to coilovers. I cut a couple of coils off when I put 18s on because the wheel well gap was way too big. I have 19s on order now and plan on putting them on when I get the coilovers. I may see how everything fits without the coilovers. I need to figure out how to post a pick of the car on here.

 

[MartianSHO]

Here is a current pick as of last week i think.

Martinsho...
That is the most beautiful blue sho ive ever seen ,those rims look great on that car. thumbs_u

 

[PROPHET]

How much 4 the 18s?

 

[MartianSHO]

Thanks....had the hardest time finding wheels with the right bolt pattern and offset.

I think thet were right around $1900 (MHT Qwan & Kumho 235/40/18 tires). That pretty much included everything though. I am going to 19s now so i am actually going to sell these real real soon. thumbs_u

couple more pics...
