IDK, im switching from TEIN to Eibach so I will let you know. Getting new Tokico Blues tomorrow.

[Rufus]

Hey Dallis, did your have the Eibach logo stamped on the springs?? The one's I got got only have the model number and no Eibach logo. But they did come in Eibach box and stickers and stuff

[Rufus]

Eh, they're too dirty, and the car is too low to see. Call Eibach

[MrRline2010]

I think I may pick these up. Do you recommend these over tein. I've heard they were quality, but want to make sure.

[Rufus]

xME

[HEADSHOT]

what else are the eibachs going on? eibachs are lower spring rates so they are softer making for a nicer ride. beleive me the bumpy ride gets old after a while. i love my eibachs had them on two different cars now they both are awesome

[kos]

mcard is riding on s.techs with tokico blue struts
the ride quality with the blues is wayyy better over stock, hands down

[_$krilla_]

dont get teins, i had mine lowered on sportlines also and loved them, get em dude

[mcard]

umm what kos said i guess haha.... even though people STILL ask me if i am going to lower my car even though i did with s techs, drives me crazy! does anyone else ever get that?

[MrRline2010]

I don't even know how much of a drop I will get with these though.

[2fnfast]

i had mine on neuspeed,and they where great,but my car was 2 low with my 17's that i had

[Rufus]

I don't even know how much of a drop I will get with these though.

[MrRline2010]

That's on 18's though isnt it?

[Rufus]

Ya but those are 35 series. You can find something online that compares overall wheel diameter.

[MrRline2010]

hmmm that probably wouldn't be too bad. Does the rear rub at all?

[YuckerDisMe]

craigslist sucks, I have never been able to find anything i wanted on craigslist.

[Rufus]

Well my setup is slightly different. I actually have stock springs int he back with a single rung cut out because of my stereo weight. So it sits even now. With my camber at 100% vertical and people in the back, it rubs very gently. I can't see where it rubs either. My fender are rolled though. That drop on 17's will not rub. I had 17's long ago with the eibachs in the back and I was fine.

[MrRline2010]

That's the only thing I was really worried about at all was rubbing. I want a functional civic not a donk fest car.

[Rufus]

If you want to slam it you need coilovers, however, many will argue that it will ride like shit and you will lose your "functionality". I wouldn't expect those springs to tuck.

[clean4door]

i was on sprint springs with stock struts on 17s and loved the way it rode i think i only had a 2finger gap or so been so long

[MrRline2010]

my buddies on sprint springs and he's starting to have noise during left hand turns

[clean4door]

damn i put mine on with like 5000 miles on the car and when i traded it in i had 30k or so on it never ne noise

[MrRline2010]

He's had em on for about less than 10 I know that. honda installed them for him. Of course they also blew both his front struts during install

[clean4door]

ya that could have alot to do with it i had mine installed at work (toyota) by one of the techs and was never a prob

[Rufus]

I don't know how you blow struts during an install. Likely, they cut the bump stops and then hit a pretty decent bump to 86 em. I've killed a set too but it took about 80k miles of driving to do it and I've been lowered since a month after buying the car new.

[MrRline2010]

they blew both of them on the "test ride" then had to buy him new ones

[Rufus]

They must have found speed bumps like this:

[MrRline2010]

dude dysart and mcdowell by the black buster has the most massive speed bump even trucks that are lifted take it slow. btw probably picking these up. Going to take a look in the morning and then off to scottsdale to look at a jl setup since chronic and dj want to rip me off. :d

[Rufus]

Can they been seen from space?

[MrRline2010]

Can they been seen from space?

possibly no seriously it's pretty big as far as speed bumps go.

Hey btw what should I look for tommarrow when I check out these springs to make sure their in good condition. Should I be looking for anything specific.

[Rufus]

Umm aren't they new?

[MrRline2010]

yes they are. Picked them up today. Actually the guy I bought them from is on azht.

[LatinEM1]

[MrRline2010]

[reyes1212]

umm what kos said i guess haha.... even though people STILL ask me if i am going to lower my car even though i did with s techs, drives me crazy! does anyone else ever get that?

[LatinEM1]

Can you tell me what kind of letter or logos your springs have? Im thinking they guy i got my sportlines are real, but I never read anywhere that there are fake Eibach springs out there like some Tein S-tech's on ebay.

[MrRline2010]

they say sprotline 82358 in the middle and right below it's 4.514OF which is the model number

[LatinEM1]

Cool, like mine. Have you made a choice on struts??

[MrRline2010]

tokico blue's most likely, looked at the other one they offer, but i'm really not sure yet. I'm not going to drop until i have everything to do it right. Not worth fucking up my dd
