Default Eibach For The WIN!!!

Eibach Pro-Street-S Coilover System Is What i picked up..

i have had alot of coilovers that i tryed out and i think eibach is the best one i have ever tryed... i pick them up for 950.00

i have tryed BUDDY CLUB N+ SPEC and i give them a <U>8 out of 10</U>. in friends car

i have tryed Tein Super Street Coilover and i give them a <U>8 out of 10</U>. in my car

i have tryed D2 Racing RS Coilover and i give them a <U>5 out of 10</U>. friends car

i give the eibach pro coilovers a 10 out of 10

thats to name a few top coilovers out there.. i tryed others but to long of a list.



just wanted to give my feed back on some great coilovers

I think your list is not long at all, I'm curious to see what else you've rated. Your feedback is good but is pretty much useless due to the fact there is no data for which to base your scale on, furthermore the same type of coilovers will feel different on different vehicles. I feel a fair judgement would be to judge them based on certain criteria such as comparing those vehicles you are familiar with, with cars that have similar suspensions. Example, Hondas with similar drivetrain layouts, weight, and utilize double wishbone suspension. I.E. 92-00 Civic compared to 91-01 Integras. Judgement criteria should also include ride quality vs. handling characteristics.

Please expand your rating system.

true... these are on my track car / street car. not my daily. its a 92 civic built dc racing motor.. i have took the car 2 times sence i put them on. first time i was no running a sway bar and the coilover felt like i was running one.. the second time i went i had type r sway and it was a dream. i had one of my best times.

Thanks for the feedback and we are happy that you like them

We are really stepping up our coilover game right now. We are building these in house by hand for Callaway and Mazda Motorsports:



Hopefully we will have some Honda applications shortly. They were made to compete with Ohlins, Moton, etc..

oOoOoo.. the pro street-S's look nice. The set-up you guys(eibach) are working on looks promising but probably worth a pretty penny. I like the fully threaded rear damper on the S's. Curious to find out what they feel like. I may look into these for a future application. What's the range of ride height on those?

Can you adjust stiffness with these coilovers? If so how much?

Eibach has been the number one choice in the automotive industry for performance suspension systems. Eibach is legendary for developing outstanding spring systems which automotive enthusiasts and motorsport champions have relied on for their suspension needs. So you can expect the same quality and performance from their new line of Pro-Street-S coilover damper systems. They take suspension technology to the next level by developing a damper system that enables the driver to quickly adjust the ride height to suit specific driving conditions. Eibach takes the technology from their ERS racing springs and the ERD racing dampers, which are used in top-level racing series, to develop the Pro-Street-S system. Each Pro-Street-S coilover system is manufactured in a rust-free stainless steel body and can be adjusted from 0.8” to 3.0”. Eibach offers a 2 year manufacture warranty on each Pro-Street-S coilover damper system.

What you wrote sounds exactly like a marketing advertisement and gives no tangible real world feedback. It's like me writing:

I got Teins and rate them 10 out of 10, and I've tried PIC 7 out of 10, F2 6 out of 10.
Teins use their extensive background and racing heritige to bring you blah...blah...blah

Well I checked before I posted and it's pretty much the same, just writen different. Probably pulled from another website that sells them, as there is proper punction and structure that vastly differs from the original posters writing style. Why post about a product you rate highly without real world 1st hand data to back it up?

Oh yeah !

Since were in this thread. I was wondering if the coilovers pictured in this thread are for a Honda applications? If they are, I am wondering why Eibach chose to design them in a manner that would reduce suspension travel when lowered and not use a "triple perch" design where the threaded body actually receeds into the lower mount?

I'd like to know too. The pics above of the OP's actual setup shows only a single perch, not separate preload and ride height adjustments.
