well i thought i would never have to say this be the rear springs have sagged badly after a year. the car is on the bump stops more than it its off them so to anyone looking for suspension, get some decent rear springs at least with a spring rate better than stock >114

eibach pro is 80-137 but the 80 is half the spring and these have just sagged and compressed and thus the car bounced around terribly. I resorted to putting some other springs in, i dont think they are stock as they are 1 inch lower than my stock ones (off another car i had) but they ride much better now the shocks can actually work.

 

has anyone else had this problem? I want the eibach pro kit.....i mean there other kits out there but I always thought eibach was one of the best choices for value.

 

if you search the threads some have and some havent. I would go with them, im looking at some BMR or Vogtland replacements. Stranos are good too

 

u can do the hose mod on the back ones. u take the spring cushion out and put some thick hose around the spring so u dont have the spring against the body. i used some 5/8th in. marine fuel line which is tough and the sides are quite thick, somewhere around 3/8 in. i had to split it to get it over the spring, positioning the split oposite the contact area, it lowered the rear about an inch.

 

^^ yeah i read up about the hose mod, im just contemplating that as I think its too high mo about 1 1/2 to 2 inch between the tire and the arch on the rear. It actually handles much better with the stock springs in and my agx shocks, the eibachs were far too soft and hit the bump stops before the higher spring rate kicked in. I have some spare locators too so i might try cutting them, I just dont fancy a spring slipping about when i driving about and in sharp turns etc

 

Eibach suspensions are pretty cheap. it's quite common for them to sag and settle with an odd balance. they're good if you want the car to get lower, but other than that, they suck.

i'd go with some of these:

or actually have a custom rated spring made:

hey maudy..this is off topic but was just curious.while back when you posted pics of your camaro when it was wrecked,i noticed on left front fender behind tire,in front of door,above where side molding goes you had a lil round **** or something right where the z-28 emblem goes..what was it??lol.just wanted to ask

 

You need new shocks I bet =)

 

evilkal, they are new shocks and struts, kyb agx ones. It is the springs they have settled in at the rear and literally have no travel, after i got them (they were cheaper as a company in UK had already imported them) I read up some more and some people get sag, others dont.

1990camaroRS, yeah they were slammed but i tore up some of my tire wall, had to cut my arches and they rode on bumpstops with a crap ride. I got the stockers in now and its much better on the rear

dc14u2no, in the UK you are suppose to have side indicator repeaters and not allowed amber lights on all the time at the front, like in US. But since the repair I put on US style front wings and de-badged everything for a smoother look

 

thanks,was just curious
