[randkcustoms]

Ok so I will do my best to explane whats going on, past week or so I have been noticeing that somthing just hasent been right with my car, it just hasent felt as tight in the suspension as it used to be. And then I have been noticeing that it scrapes eather on the tires or the exhaust hits the ground when going over briges and bumps, its lowered on Eibach pro kit. it has about 20-30,000 miles on the springs, the drivers side looks like the coils are all touching were there passenger side isent? and the tires are warn tho showing threads on the very inside and look new on the outside, I had a 4 wheel alinment done not to long ago. is somthing broken in the back? it has felt not as stiff as before. Dose eibach warrenty there stuff? here are some pictures, I hope the show what im explaining, as you can see the wheels are tipped WAY in at the top. Any help would be wonderfull.

You have very little spring play. Are you still on the stock shocks? If so, they may be toast.

[randkcustoms]

Yeah im on the stock shocks, the rear ones are the R/T shocks. Eibach I found out has that million mile warrenty, dose it look like my springs are bad?

[FactoryD]

couldn't tell ya. I doubt it. More than likely your shocks are though.

[OLJustice]

Shocks are gone. Replace them with Eibach shocks or Konis. Anything meant for lowering.

[randkcustoms]

Ok...... im sure the fronts are fine since they are Bilstens. whos a good place to get shocks from?

[Rob@WretchedMS]

your springs have been damaged from coil bind, the metal used in the eibach springs are known to fail, and using them with stock springs is a bad idea.

Our touring kit comes with new Pedders springs and shocks, that are designed to work together. The spring rates and dampening rates are mapped out to work in unison.

In addition it comes with a Bump Steer Correction kit that will help to improve turn in, and tire wear.

I got rid of my Eibach Pro Kit, way over-priced for the quality, IMO. If you're going to invest in your suspension then consider Pedders, KW or Tien. I chose KW, but if I knew then what I know now, I would've gotten Pedders. My .02.

[randkcustoms]

Im not looking to drop alot on susp. right now.

[Rob@WretchedMS]

then put the stock springs back in

[randkcustoms]

I dont have any stock stuff. And I wont put stock back in. I can get a new set of Eibachs for free under warenty if they are bad. Im just needing new shocks that will work with lowering springs.

[SXT6]

I'm no expert, but to me it looks like there is a lot more wrong than just blown shocks

[OLJustice]

Care to explain why, with my my combo of Pedders springs and shocks, my tires suddenly started rubbing on my rear fenders? I'm very interested to hear your theory.

Now now ladies... lets not start threadjacking this guys thread. Let him get the help he needs. Take your quibbles to a separate thread eh?

[richierevs]

I dont have any stock stuff. And I wont put stock back in. I can get a new set of Eibachs for free under warenty if they are bad. Im just needing new shocks that will work with lowering springs.

Eibach shocks are made by Bilstein which is owned by Monroe. The Monroe SensaTrac shocks are the same as the Eibach shocks without the price tag, they even look the same. I hope that helps.

Those are the Sportlines, not the Pro kit. If you broke a spring, they're warrantied for life. When/if you replace them, you need to lose the stock shocks and put some quality dampers on. There's a reason Eibach states that the Sportline springs require replacing the stock dampers......I think you may have learned the hard way, one of the reasons why!
Get the rear of your car off the ground and remove the rear tires. You can see the springs real well. You should be able to tell if they need replacing.
