Eibach Lowering Springs ETA

[DjAnnexAlpha]

Just got word from an Eibach rep. The ETA for the Eibach springs is August. No word on pricing yet. I also asked them if they will have a discount for first time adopters or testers. Will let you know more when they reply.

Why would you want lowering springs?

 

[Donabed Kopoian]

I had Eibach springs on my '82 Mustang GT (along with other goodies), and I was untouchable around corners. Car stayed planted to the road and didn't want to roll or pitch or yaw, at all.

I plan on getting a set, especially since the '14 S is a little more lose around corners than I prefer.

No need to send your hard earned money to the spring peddlers.

As long as the springs that came in your car are not broken, they can be used in lowering the car.

You can even install LED bulbs on them. :thumbup1:

It's obvious that a lowering springs purpose is to give the driver a more enthusiastic ride and a better ride height look. Besides, it's his money. Let him do what he wants.

As for the springs, did the Eibach rep tell you how big the drop is?

It isn't obvious if someone just wants show/looks, or go/better performance and to properly answer the original poster's questions we need to know what their goals are.

Anyone can do anything they want. Forums are for discussion and advice for the benefit of all, which is what we do here. :thumbup1:

I'm not a fan of the spring rates on the OEM springs.

Also, don't hate on the LED goodness!

Keep in mind, coil springs hold up the car. MacPherson struts and shock absorbers control the rebound of the coil springs for a better ride. For better handling, better anti-sway bars can make a huge improvement. However, anti-sway bars don't look, "cool", unless we're underneath the car. So again, it all depends on what someone's goals with their car are; show/looks or go/better performance.

I've heard that LED bulbs actually increase fuel economy and power when installed on the end of tire valve stems. :thumbup1::laughing::lol:

My plan is Eibach springs, TRD sway bars, Energy Suspension sway bar end links, and KYB-GR2 shocks and struts.

Improved performance AND looks is what I do on any car I own, whether it is a daily driver or a weekend toy. I don't discriminate what I wrench on.
