any input much appreciated

 

i don't know any specs for the JG,
but the eibach is supposed to be real stiff, stiffer than toda, or portflow

 

I think maybe you should ask Vtecvoodoo...

 

holy fuckballs eibach makes valvetrain now?

do they lower your valves 1.3-1.8 inches?

why not?
thier specialty is springs
they make springs for everything
from watches, to huge springs for whatever
so I think they'd know wtf they are doin

 

Portflow tested some Eibach springs for me, they did not bind until 14mm Seat pressure was not excessive either.

 

i thought eibach made valvetrains for awhile now..just not too known in the import industry...do they come with retainers or do u use stock???

 

You could run stock,crower's,skunk and others that has stock od and id

i'd probably run stock..


anyone else?

 

Yep, they make valve springs. Seen their machines with my own eyes when I was invited over to check out stuff over there.

Ryan at Eibach is way cool!

 

I have tried Eibach springs and found them to be within 5 lbs of the good Crowers and SuperTechs. As far as I know, they do not offer retainers with their springs. I feel that is a negative.

wouldn't stock be fine?

if i wasn't bald i'd be blonde...so pls explain

 

Stock retainers? They are heavier so do not perform as well as titanium. But with titanium you need a very tight fit to the spring so that the titanium does not gall. That is what I prefer about SuperTech...very tight fit between the spring and retainer. It would help if Eibach would offer matching retainers.

There is also the possibility to TiN coat the retainers to prevent galling, anybody have any thoughts about this?

Here's a link to a company that performs this coating: http://www.brycoat.com/

ic...but i've only heard of titanium retainers galling.

 

Something is gonna gall if there is relative movement between the retainer and the spring.

Stock retainers are so hard that they wear the spring! when the valves are floated over a long period of time.

i've heard about eibach's valvetrain back in like 98 or 99 from dynamic autosports i believe.
