Eibach, B&G or ST Springs ?

i have eibachs and i love them...

 

I am a dealer for all three of those companies. I have never heard anything bad about the Suspension Techniques or H&Rs. However, I use the Eibachs and just like the other posts I love them. Everyone I've sold the Eibachs to loves them as well.

 

Are you guys using the eibach springs with stock struts? What was the height drop for you?

 

the height drop was 40mm on the eibachs, cant beat them really and they have a really good finish

 

I'm just asking because I have an Eibach pro kit as well, but I'm afraid to put it in since my bodykit already makes the car lower. In theory, my kit drops an inch, but I heard that the actual drop can be different from what the manufacturer sais.

Why did I buy it, you may ask. Because I want a little stiffer suspension. But I don't really want the drop.

 

B&G's on GR-2's... as close to 2" as you can get... I hit the front mudflaps on mid-size speedbumps, but that's about it...

 

yes actually 4thgenceli fitted 5th gen megan coil-overs with just a simple mod to the rears.....but he has an 89 gt-s.....so there might be a small difference.

 

are gr-2's stock replacement struts? i heard a few things about stock struts on lowered springs so i was wondering if you recommend them based on your experience?

 

Yup... Over a year and a half, no complaints or problems... The tires on the other hand.... I need to increase size for practical as well as aesthetic reasons. going to move up to 205-55's with the 10mm spacer first, the try a bigger set of spacers if needed. Just not enough tire for a good haul. Definitely the ticket for short, twisty routes.

 

the struts in my car are still really good..100x better than in my first celica...should i just get the springs now, save up for struts maybe next year? b&g's on sale for $140!!! i don't mind taking apart the suspension twice or three times, just can't afford the whole lot right now

 

That's entirely a judgement call... I read the stories on AGX's too, everything is gonna wear faster when they are altered or for special applications. GR-2's wear out, AGX's adjustment ability fails, and stock setups wear out and bounce around like a carnival ride. Guess it depends on how much money you want to throw at it....and how often...

 

ah hell it's my first time for suspension work, gonna go on the cheap here to get to know everything before i get serious about it

 

If you can score B&G's for 140.00 your already waaaaaaayyyyyy ahead of the game... I didn't find any on special when I ordered mine...
