On eibach springs!

For those who have it, or know about it, how did you set them up for street?

im thinking puting it on 3/4's all around

and lower perch. any other differences? other then .5 inch lower on lower perch



*************** the new koni yellow didnt come with a bushing(that goes between on upper strut.. they say you have to use stock, but its a lil to small, wont go over... do you have to drill?*********

 

1. What?

2. The lower circlip holes are not the same front to back. One is higher than the other. I just don't remember which one is higher or lower.

By the way why did you get the Koni's? You just had a post about an isue with your springs right?

spring issue was fixed. back settled nicely + had to retorque the lower control arm, while car was on the ground, it did the trick.

still a little staggered, but nothing like before

front 1.5 fingers .. back 2.5 fingers. before it was 3-3.5 fingers


PS. got the koni's to do a little better drop.. and IMO from all the reading i did, there better then oem for handeling. and adjustable .. i can stiffen/loosen the ride .. my choice

 

So why did you buy the Koni's? Were you not happy with the springs?

John

 

I wasnt thrilled about the drop..

.90 front .70 at 1st rear now .80

another .5 front and back.. plus a better shock... better handling

cant go wrong.

 

nvm, did a search and found my answer..


everone is saying they like it adjusted at 3/4

how many turns is that?

 

well there are 2 full turns of adjustability. so 3/4 would be a turn and a half.

im set at about 1.75 turns. They say its not good to go full stiff or full soft. (not being able to turn knob anymore.)

 

When I had the koni's with stock spring, I ran at full stiff in the front -1/8 turn and 3/4 stiff in the rear. Seemed to work better in an auto-x with those setting vs 2/4 still all the way around.

 

mine seem to have 2.5 turns from full stiff to full soft


the rear driverside, is a pain !!! how do you guys do it, is there a easy way?

 

I have mine on the lower perch and with Eibach's. I think it is too low. I scrape the little plastic things under the front bumper when I take turns fast; might be due to the lower compression rate vs stock. I am thinking of going back to the higher perch, anyone know if this will fix the scraping problem? I have the settings at 3/4 all around also.
