    Eibach springs

    Yes, I know I can cut my front springs, but I prefer not too.

    So ... I want a pair of Eibach springs. Apparently, Eibach is no longer making them and all the characters on Ebay that say they have it in stock, DON'T. They do refund the money though ...

    Anyone have a pair or have a line on a pair?

    It was easier finding springs for my 15 year old Taurus then the 6 year old Marauder.

    Thanks!

    I probably won't convince you....but they ride like a truck...avoid them.

    I hate mine! And after 6 years of using them I have had it.

    You can have mine.

    You won't convince me. Sorry. I had them in my last ride and really enjoyed them. The unknown of the ride quality for me is why I just can't cut my front springs. At least with the Eibach's I can swap back in the original springs.

    ride quality with cut springs is slightly harder then stock. i never even think about it when i drive mine.

    If its one piece of advice you listen to all year, its this:

    DO NOT PUT EIBACH SPRINGS IN YOUR CAR.

    The front end of the car will bounce like a POGO STICK.

    Im begging you not to do it!

    So if I don't can you make a badgeless grill? From what I hear/read you are the man to do that.

    I wish there was someone close to me that

    1. Had cut springs in theirs that I can ride in.
    2. That I could trust the cut the springs the correct way ... Also, how much should I expect to pay someone to cut the spings?

    My concerns with cutting the springs is that I don't know the ride quality and if I don't like it, I can't go back! But with almost EVERYONE saying don't do Eibachs and with Eibach discontinuing the product, that is starting to resonate with me.

    Thanks!

    The coil-over assembly comes right out of the car, anyone can do that part.
    If you know a guy in a shop, slip him some lunch money to break down the assembly and cut 1 coil off (from the top). That simple!

    Re-install, get it aligned and you are done!
