Default Any opinions of Eibach springs? For people who have them:

What is the average amount of drop, and is the ride alot harsher? Are they worth it? Should i not even bother?

Any help would be appreciated!!!

TIA TIA TIA

Default I like mine a lot...

Not to different from stock but a little stiffer, can feel the ups and downs in the road more. It sticks to the road better now. Lowered about an inch plus.

Default I had the MTM/Eibach springs in my car for 16,000 miles, the stock shocks eventually wore out...

I now have the matched Koni shocks in there, making it the MTM full suspension. I like that setup much more and wish I would have done it in the first place. It's much less bouncy than the eibach springs with the stock shocks...and I'm convinced if you use springs with the stock shocks, they WILL eventually wear out.

Scottsdale Audi did it, but then again they aren't like any other dealer.

So what was it like with worn out shocks and Eibach springs? A pogo stick?

Default Which ones are you referring to? The MTM/Eibachs or Eibach sports?

The Eibach sports with stock shocks will give you a very harsh ride. It will lower the car about 1" all around. Best be bet is to get aftermarket shocks along with the new springs. Do it right the first time!

no, it wasn't that bad...it was just annoying enough to make me want to get real shocks.

I agree. Get new shocks with new springs. my stock shocks are totally dead from the eibachs.
