Vanadium is extremely lightweight, pick up these springs vs any normal spring. Saves important weight (on suspension where it counts). modacar.com says they're a 1.0" drop
F & R. definately noticeable. It's as low as I want to go w/o scraping everywhere.

Ride feels like stock (I have oem shocks). Handling seems quite improved to me. And they're only like $190.

Uhh no it`s not.

I`m not trying to tell you guys what to buy, just helping you read between the lines a bit.

i have the tein s techs, i love them. the drop is good, a little bit over an inch after they settle. the ride quality is only a little bit harsh than stock.
performance has increased a bit. directional transitions seem to be quicker and more responsive.

Thumbs up

vtecvoodoo,

what is are the weights of your Eibach springs and what material are they made of?
are you using stock shocks with them and which Eibachs do you have, do they make more than one set for the S? how much of a drop did you get? did you do the install yourself?

thanks.

what is are the weights of your Eibach springs and what material are they made of? They are CrSi and have a million mile warranty. I wouldn`t take the time to weigh them, I don`t see the point.

are you using stock shocks with them? No, I use Koni

and which Eibachs do you have, do they make more than one set for the S? We make one kit for the S2000 and it lowers the vehicle 1" all around. I don`t run our Pro-Kit, I use Ground Controls with rates I chose. This is more of a "coil over" type setup. We make their springs

how much of a drop did you get? I run a little over an inch all around

did you do the install yourself? Yes

See, now it comes out.......
We make one kit for the S2000
........that's why your constantly pimpin' Eibach and bashing others. You are either on the manufacturing end or on the distributuion end.

I knew there were motives.

That's cool.

Thanks.

Everybody knows I work for Eibach, it`s not a secret.

If you read the "coil over" thread you`ll notice I purchased a Bilstein PSS9 Kit to shock dyno, install and review. I don`t know who else can offer that sort of information. Please keep in mind that I am an S2000 Enthusiast and have been an owner since Oct of '00, not just an Eibach Employee. When it comes to the suspension products that are being talked about here, I have tested the majority of them and know what they are made of, who makes them and how they are made.

I didn't KNOW that, I would have guessed it though.

Thanks.

My TEINS have been shipped. $133.99 shipped. I will be installing these springs on a set of '01 OEMs w/ 5K miles on them (got 'em for free) to replace my '00 40K mile OEMs. It will be an inexpensive cosmetic mod more than anything.

I see ALOT of people w/ the TEIN coilover setups on their S. I can't spend $1200 on a suspension for my S (I have a motorcycle addiction too) and figured if TEIN knows coilovers, they must know springs too. What can it hurt? $134 and an alignment. Yea, I'll be installing them myself.
