Eibach Springs + Sub?

[Aero]

Hey guys! Been looking into springs, from searching the forum seems like Eibachs seem like the best choice. I really like the drop on the kspeeds, but buying those seems a bit sketchy to me. I'm not sure how much of a difference the Eibachs will look than stock, I have the 17" LTZ rims, and I know the rear sits a bit higher than the front, I'd like the rear lower, and I also wanted to add a subwoofer in the back.

I guess I'm asking three questions here.
1. Will the sub drop the rear a noticeable amount?
2. Are the Eibach springs a significant difference from stock as to looks and feel?
3. Are they worth it?

Don't want to spend the money and have it look almost the same.

Also it seems like most people posted pictures with the springs from the front, if you guys have any pics of what the rear looks like that would be great! Curious to see how it sits.

Thanks.

I did not notice my Kicker Bass Station having any effect on the drop.

The appearance is noticeable and the ride firmer.

Lots of pictures in my build thread and other build threads.

you will definitely notice the drop with the eibachs springs. the ride is a little firmer, but for the reduction of body roll and front to rear pitch of the car, its completely worth it. the only downside I have, is with the rough roads here and the loss of an inch of suspension travel, I tend to use the bump stops quite frequently.

I agree with this. I love my eibach's 100%. Although I will say I drive on some of the worst roads I've ever seen (Michigan, 90% Flint side roads) and I have yet to use my bump stops (which are the ones provided by Eibach).

It looks like I may be getting these soon, thank you all for your input!

Where's the best place I can order these from?

Personally I would keep q sharp eye in the classified section here, feel like I've seen a few there.

Otherwise, usually AutoAnything

If the springs are stronger then stock you shouldn't see any type of drop from the sub. My sub setup probably weighs about 130+ pounds and it did not drop the stock suspension at all.

Hate to dig up this old thread, but did you do the drop and how big a sub did you put back there? I've got the Eibachs and am putting one 12" woofer, a small box, and an amp in my sedan's trunk and am curious if the weight of your sub made any difference. ???

Brad,
Don't worry, I've put 400 lbs in the back of my car with the eibachs - doesn't even look squatty - almost perfectly level.

Seriously though, thanks for the information.

Was she pretty?

Her eyes were a bit...

...bovine.

Has she got a sister?
