Hey Guys,

As most of you know or don't know, I picked up an R about 4 months ago. I started a thread and mentioned we (Eibach, y0!) were working on ITR specific coilovers. We've been testing the last couple months and they are just about to be released. I though you might be interested in some photos and info being the track junkies that you are...

Here's the kit. Monotube, stainless body, adjustable compression/rebound (independent of eachother - truly double adjustable) with external reservoirs:



Another:

Installed:




Here are a couple shots of my R. It sits pretty low and still rides great around town:




We're pretty stoked about these. Additional info:

- All parts machined in house and hand assembled in Corona, CA.
- Every damper is dyno'd.
- 10-way adjustable compression.
- 7-way adjsutable rebound.
- Monotube
- Rebuildable
- 46mm piston

We'll be adding more photos and videos to this thread

 

Sweet, I looked into the Evasive spec Eibachs few months ago for my S2K. Do you have prices for the ITR coil overs yet?

 

Nice to see some good quality products still being produced for our cars.

 

I want those!! Also congratulations on the R. She looks super clean with that setup What's the price on it?

 

Why stainless and not aluminum? Just curious.

 

Any idea on pricing? Those look pretty dang nice.

 

I need!!!!!

 

I believe the price for aluminum has gone way up $0.97

and stainless steel is at $0.84

 

So these are streetable also? Mmmm, nice.

 

How much?

 

Yes, but the pricerange these coilovers will be at, people will pay a few more $$ for lightness.

Other than price, I was wondering if there was a reasoning behind the choice.

 

Hey Todd,

Durability/strength. We do not want our parts to bend or break.

You bet. To be honest, life has been busy and my R hasn't seen the track yet, just daily driven.

$2995 is full retail. "Street price" will obviously be much cheaper.

 

To add to what Ryan said...we've always worked with stainless steel because it is stronger and doesn't corrode as easy. It takes more aluminum material to make up for the strength of stainless. The weight difference is hardly going to be noticable over both materials.

 

How will the valving work with various spring rates?

What will the "stock" spring rates be?

 

The off-the-shelf rates will be 450lbs in the front and 400lbs in the rear. This is a perfectly neutral set up that can handle street and track. I use 500lbs in the front and 600lbs in the rear on my Civic. We've tested these up to 1000lbs on the street and track with no issues. The valving can easily handle it.

If I'm paying $3K for a coilover, personally I'd want it to be as light as possible. I'm not going to get into specific material properties, but at this price-point aluminum seems to be the norm. It's not like you're dealing with a strut for this application (where you'd need the extra strength).

There is a huge weight difference between my KW V3's (SS) vs my Mugen N-Zeros (Aluminum).

They look like nice pieces, though. But, I could question the remote reservoirs on a shock that only comes with rates of 450lbs Does the fluid really get that hot?

I'm not picking on Eibach, but I do find a few curious decisions with this particular product.

 

A lot of our coilover applications are strut type which is why we use stainless steal. Our list price is $2995 for these coilovers but no one will ever pay full retail. The "street" price through a shop is under $2400. The tein counter part goes for a little more but does not include springs.

Our Eibach philosphy has always been street comfort and performance. With that in mind we wanted our coilovers to be streetable. On top of that, our tracks out here are bumpy and harsh and a lot of rate is not needed for good performance. The reservoir is needed for compression adjustments as the rebound adjustments are on the shaft. The fluid doesn't get that hot because of our design...even with 1000lb springs.

To each his own. I've been tracking my cars for the last 10 years and I've tried many different high end set ups. This Multi Pro R2 blows everything out of the water I've tried for it's price point. Everyone, including myself, has dropped seconds from their lap times with this set up!

 

Availability?

Also, when ordering can you specify spring rate, or do the different rates have to be purchased separately?

 

Fair enough. I understand that making them out of one material (if you have strut applications mixed in, hence SS) will keep costs down.

They seem to be waaay overbuilt for a double-wishbone Honda, but about right for something like a 06+ Civic Si.

 

Just because....

 

We've been making these coilovers for a while for other applications. So when it came time to make them for the S2000 and FF Hondas we had the basic layout already figured out. Ryan and I really pushed to make these happen here at Eibach. Here's a cut-a-way view of our Evo application.

 

Shut up and TAKE MY MONEY!

If I had any...
