Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Was resigned to making custom coil over Bilsteins for my RWD Skyline, but found some Eibachs professional race dampers for sale. Double adjustable, separate gas reservoirs, decent spring rates for track usage, dual rate with tender springs, just what I was wanting, and a BIG saving on the new list price. A nice end to a bleedin' hectic week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I bet they weren't cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Can you rebuild them easily? After a few races I bet the oil in there will be pure muck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are off for a rebuild this coming week, not a problem, Eibach have a repair centre here in the UK, although these came from Germany originally.

Alex Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 They look a lot like the Ohlins, Soop Dogg, has on his Supra...double springs etc (but no remote reserviors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hope these are'nt as good as my new ones Chris;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Hope these are'nt as good as my new ones Chris;) I hope they are a lot better for their specific purpose! I don't think you'd like 1000 lbs ins front springs, they are purely race dampers, with a price to match, so don't fret, your set up is still as good as it gets for road and mild track day usage. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket a TRD diff and TRD anti roll bars are your next step. That and buying the beer next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 They aren't off to Mick Gardner racing in Barnesley are they? We stopped in there a week or so ago. He's now an Eibach authorised dealer and he had some beautiful stuff there in nice spangly glass cases. Russ is a very helpful bloke too. (We're having a little bit of work done to the Ohlins bits at the mo.) If anyone is interested, they do all the remote reservoir/pro/racing type suspension there now, you'll find him via google. Like I say, good bloke, knows his stuff. (works with the Panoz & TVR racing teams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 , your set up is still as good as it gets for road and mild track day usage. ? What would that be Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Gaz This is CW's custom suspension package that I had fitted this week by the man himself. I would well recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ready for your face to hurt with that Supra :D again and again on the bends/roundabouts. One of the best mod's I have had done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 If you have money burning a hole in your pocket a TRD diff and TRD anti roll bars are your next step. Chris, which thickness of TRD ARB's complement your suspension ? And are there any downsides to fitting them ? - apart from motion sickness as you go around a bend flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
