Lowering by Eibach

[G_MAN75]

Finally lowered my car Eibach style

Sorry about the 1st post this one should be better.
I finally lowered my car and i must say I'm very happy.
Look, feel, and most important the ride.
No noises, clunks, rubbing. They still have to settle a bit more.
but I'm very happy with the outcome.

why don't you just get those adjustable Mazdaspeed struts?

i have the Eibachs for over a year now as well. i'm looking into those struts. not sure if anybody has them yet ... anybody?

Factory Struts

Well for now the ride is great, just got the car in Oct. but for now its the most economic way to go, and I'm extremely happy with the ride.

CTpro5 the bug deflector is by Mazda and its a clip and screw on. You can get them at the dealer. Here my local dealer has tons in stock.

AlaskaP5 The tint is 5% rear and 20% front.

They cost around $90 cnd.

I read from others that their ride is harsher now prior to lowering. Is it a harsher ride compared to the stock setup? I'd love to get the Eibach Pro Kit but a bit hesitant to do it due to the alleged harsher ride. I appreciate your opinion(s).

 

[CANMP3]

Just wondering, how much did you guys pay for your eibach Pro Kit springs?? I may be able to get them fairly cheap.

 

[mspeedpro]

can p5s put lowering springs on it without getting new struts??

 

[ALLMAN]

Honestly the ride harshness is as follows scale 1(worst)-10(best):

OEM set-up= 6
Eibach Set-up=5....in my opinion!!..LOL

Depending upon milage per day driven...I wouldn't think any addional correction measures is neccessary within the first year of application...including camber kits..Peace!

 

[G_MAN75]

I'm happy

Well I just put the springs in last week and i bought the car in Oct.
You can get away with factory struts for awhile. I had Eibachs in my Millenia S and the struts lasted me over 4 years, maybe even longer but the lease was up. One thing though they will wear out sooner than supposed too.
I can honeslty say that I'm very happy with the ride, very close to factory but you can feel the difference in higher speeds.
The Eibach height was just right, I mean if you don't want the tucked in look.
Anything past that height i think you might run into to more problems with stiffness, ride quality and life of factory struts.

thats my opinion anyways.
