Eibach Coilovers Installed-Pics and Install Instructions Inside...

**SRT8U** · 02-21-2007, 02:18 AM

We installed the front part of my Eibach Pro Street Coilover Kit this weekend. Car llos great and drives even better, I thought you couldnt get any better than the stock SRT8 Suspension, but you dont know what you are missing until you have tried these. Lowers the car nicely, and corners flatter than ever. And that is just w the fronts on...I cant wait to get the rest done.
Here are a couple of pics..
The Kit...

Fronts installed w lowest setting

After a little adjustment:

Looks all old school w the front low and back jacked up for now until I can get the rears on...lol

Here is a complete step by step installation guide w pics that I wrote up.

Nice. I can't wait for the KW V2s to come in. Only a few more days I hope for the HHP group buy to complete.

Looks really good. I'd be afraid of dragging my Kook's LT's all over everything. I've already scraped my front facia quite a few times.

For that I'm planning on the highest setting. I just want the damping and improvement in the ride and corning, don't wish to lower much.

SRT8U, That looks great. I have the same susp set-up on my car and just a couple of mental notes for you. The springs are going to settle quite a bit yet. You'll probably be sitting almost on the tires time it settles, so expect lower results. I didn't fully lower mine until they had several hundred miles on them.
Secondly, as HalV48 mentioned, header scraping. My Dynatech headers and cats have some scraping on them now and I have to be very careful what I drive over.
But they do ride great and if you marry this to a high end sway bar kit you've got one hell of a cornering car.
The only dislike I have is they bottom on the bumpers pretty easily in the front. I may bring mine back up about an inch.
Have fun and good luck with the rear install. Two jacks and two people will smooth out that operation considerably.

Thanks! I know they will settle some, which is why I raised it off the low setting that you see on the first pic, and will probably readjust again when I do the rears, and I wont go all the way down as it is a daily driver. I will also be doing sways as well, as they are the perfect companion to the lowered stiffer suspension

Mr. "U" That looks nice. Great write up. Super to hear you like them.

Are you running stock sways? If you changed them what did you get? Hotchkis?

Thanks!
Dan

Stock sways currently, and am debating between Hotchkis, and Eibach sways.

Hotchkis made a major improvement on my handling and I've only installed the front sway so far. Waiting to get the KW V2s and install before I put in the rear sway.
