Default Eibach ERS (searched)

Im looking into picking up a set of Eibach ERS springs and had a few q's.


I have some Nex Coilovers with a pretty high spring rate but they are progresive and I dont like the way progressive springs feel. (leans to much on turn in, and when launching). So I would like to order some linear Eibach ERS springs.

How do I find out what size I need? I figure maybe call up the company (nex) and get the specs from them? The shocks are valved to run up to a 600 pound spring rate so I was thinking of going 500R/400F

Do you think there will be an issue since the OEM spring is progressive and im going with a linear spring?

Thanks for any help.

I would give ground control a call.

I don't have any experience with NEX coilovers, but I am very familiar with ERS and ground control.

Are the NEX sleeve type coilovers like GC?

Either way, I'm sure that ground control has the diameter and length springs that you are looking for.

If I were you I'd go with rates more like 400f/500r or somewhere in there.

He said he's getting 400F/500R.

I would say take the springs off and measure the free height of the spring, then order ERS springs about 1" shorter or so (since you will have a stiffer, linear spring that won't compress as much as the Nex springs did).

Hit up B18C5EH2 on this board, he deals with ERS springs and could probably help you out...
