Have you checked out Good-win-racing's Maverick? They installed the pre-production Eibach kit on their shop truck. I think it looks perfect with 18's. Sounds like Eibach nailed it.

Hey Eibach finally put Maverick in their list vehicles , so I just ordered my Eibach PRO-KIT performance SKU/Part# : E10-35-057-02-22 for $335 + shipping directly from Eibach (also free hat with "gimmehat" code). They say 2" front/2.9" rear lowering HOWEVER they do not have any time frame for actually shipping them out...

Dang! So close!
Went to follow @ShadowChas lead and order some springs but they're only listed for AWD, not FWD
Looks like I'm still waiting.

Oh so tempting. I had the order all ready to go, but I don't even know when my 23 will get built. I think I might wait a bit. I look forward to @ShadowChas product review

So my order got canceled saying discontinued/no longer available,etc… they said January hopefully

I thought there's a different weight ratio front/rear between EB & hybrid. I never looked it up but a 2.5 w/electric motor vs 2.0 turbo probably weight different.

Correction:

I just checked in the workshop manual for the engine specs, I was wrong and have updated the correct weights

Ecoboost engine #: MJ6Z 6006-A at 287lbs

Hybrid engine #: LX6Z 6006-A at 276lbs

I noticed they mentioned a camber bolt kit and suspension arms. Is this required with the drop spring kit? Or the lift spring kit? Theres no footnotes in the order section with the springs, and their description of these parts being required is clear as mud. If the lowering kit which is what I want requires these parts, I knot that I would like to know.

Looks good! My only issue is the rear wheels look too narrow (may just be the photo). Do you have a shot from the front or back showing the side profile?

 

[volksnuts]

For a drop that the springs would give you most likely won’t need the rear control arms to get the camber correct (which is a good thing since none currently exist…. We are working on it though)
Same with the front, you should be able to get close enough

your mileage may vary though

Just cut a coil off each spring like a real man.

Soo, EIBACH finally had me in for the New Prototype Lowering Kit. Came out BITCHEN! Rides smooth with no bounce and plenty of suspension. Has exactly what I was looking for. That sport truck stance. That ‘CALI’ feel is back….

They said production sets will be coming in 3-4 months I think. Having lowered B2000’s in the late 80’s n early 90’s this is low enough 4 me. I’ll sacrifice the dropp for the ‘SMOOTH’ ride. But, we all like we like!!!!!

 

[Jongmur]

Nice. Eibach just tested my hybrid. The ride is awesome !

 

[twolane]

I’m so ready for the hybrid kit.
