Finally Pics of ///M (Eibach, Volk RE-30)

Dieselino · 05-23-2008, 01:21 PM

The coupe has, but the convertible has been out longer. Id be surprised if the 3.0 on the roadster doesnt share the same struts as the coupe. however I could be wrong, but then again I thought I was wrong once... but I was wrong.

i looked into it and alot of components were not interchangeable

Really? So you cant use the shocks from a convertible to a coupe? Thats surprising. I could understand springs not being interchangable.

So it used to ride smoother than stock but now rides "like stock but not as bouncy".

Trying to determine if that means better than stock. My primary goal is to eliminate fender gap and secondary goal is to reduce the choppy bouncy ride. If the ride is less bouncy then it sounds like the ride is better no?

Also in stock form the front seems to have a bit more gap which is why I was thinking coil-overs might be the only way to make them even. Yours look even in the pics - are they?

I have also heard that the Eibachs make a clunk sound. Is this so?

im on eibachs n oem sport shocks for the past 3yrs and no clucking sounds

-I would say the Eibach ride better than stock because elimanates the bouncy feel. The drop is perfect and even front & back.

-I haven't heard a cluncking sounds.

-Am pretty happy with this springs, I was worry about the uneven front/back drop like H&R but the Eibach dropped perfectly.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll order some. Who did your install and how much?

Brucewonder · 05-26-2008, 07:26 PM

i bought my springs from a local shop in Alhambra for $185 and i installed it myself - the rears should take you the most 30min per side.

The bumper reflectors were taken to a bodyshop were they match paint them to car color. . .

Could you just post the specs of the tires and the offset of the rims pls. I can see they are Bridgestone Potenza. Just cant tell what size. Thanks

Brilliant looking ride btw!!!!!

Tourist · 10-16-2008, 01:27 PM

If anyone could help me out with my previous question regarding offset and tires, I would be really thankfull.

PM to S2peed has been left unanswered.
