moonstone Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'm staying on a budget, so sticking with stock shocks for now until I order some KW V3. However I hate the "nose up" look of the stock suspension. Whifbitz has some Eibachs in stock now. I would like to compare the Tanabe GF210, Eibach pro and Tein S-tech. What are you running and how do you like them? Are you using stock shocks or aftermarket? Pics would be welcome (most pics on SF are down do the Photobuckets BS).

fastcar Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Have the eibachs with the stock bilstien shocks and forget the rest! That setup will be the best you can get without spending thousands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I had Eibachs and OE dampers on my UK spec and was very happy with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I`m on kybagx dampers with hks lowering springs, love the setup, however i just purchased the Kw v3 for the adjustability. Edited July 17, 2017 by bignum (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thabks for the feedback guys. Dunk do you have a picture how low your car is on oem shocks with the eibachs? I do but my car had a TRD widebody kit so it might misslead you as to how a stock bodied car might look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Also being sat on 19's and with the width and profile i was using the car was sitting about 10mm higher than it would be on stock wheels and tyres.

moonstone Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Bignum ad Dunk, thank you guys for the pics. Both cars look awesome! I've read the eibachs tend to settle down more over time. Have you experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you experienced this? Can't say i noticed any settling going on, not once the car had been driven in a spirited fashion for a few miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 No decent spring should "settle", if it does, it's junk. What usually happens is people loosen wishbone bolts then tighten them up again without the car's weight on the springs, so the bushes are under tension. They usually tear out of their sleeves and the car appears to settle lower over time, sometimes unevenly as one bush fails before another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonstone Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Looks like the Eibachs are pretty popular. Anyone using Tein or Tanabe springs? All of them are around the same price as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Have had the tanabe springs and they were not good at all. To stiff for road use, more setup for track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I've got tein rear springs on mine, with sard springs on the front - naturally with oem shocks. I had tein coilovers before, which were awful in comparison. Even with 19" wheels, I find the ride pretty comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyne Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Looks like the Eibachs are pretty popular. Anyone using Tein or Tanabe springs? All of them are around the same price as well. Tein springs with standard UK shocks rides lovely nice ride height also if that helps. But if there is no price issue prob go with eibach.Check my garage under nigelboyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
