EVERYONE WITH EIBACH LOWERING SPRINGS - POST YOUR PICS + WHEEL/TIRE SPECS.

[DPSHADE]

A lot of people have been noting that the Eiback springs make noises when turning etc on this post:
(I would recommend the Good Win racing springs they fixed other flaws of the eibach design and actually test their stuff, ON TRACK!.)

I may go with Goodwins for this exact reason. The only reason I was considering the Eibachs is because the rear sits slightly lower for an almost completely leveled look. The Goodwins are only 0.3" higher in the rear, so an extremely minimal rake might be a compromise I have to make.

But, from my understanding, the flaws with the new Eibach kits have been fixed. Have you heard differently?

Eibach pro kit.

Nice bro. She's a beauty. That atlas blue looks absolutely insane in pictures and, somehow, even better in person.

I have read this, but I have also read that they still make some amount of noise that is " normal ". They did take springs from someone here and attempt to study the issue.

Hi people. Problem fixed. I changed the front right strut, it was broken inside . Eibach told me that it could be impact tool in the process of the installation. In my opinion if you need to work with suspension NEVER use impact tools , problems will be there after the work. New fixed springs from Eibach don’t make any noise at all, confirmed. Another hint: If your truck have more than 30-40k miles , put new struts when changing to lowering springs. Mine is only 4k miles so that is why i think problem was caused because of the impact tool.

Thanks for the update.

Eibach’s and stock 225/60R18’s

beautiful stance. Did you get the optional camber bolts and do an alignment after? I’m trying to plan my attack strategically.

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but you would definitely need an alignment after lowering.

As far as the camber bolts and rear camber arms, I think those would be at your discretion. From what I've heard, the camber fitment is only sometimes off by a few degrees, meaning the fitment is extremely close to stock. I personally would buy them just to be safe and have the person doing the work decide if they're needed, but I've heard some of the engineers at Ford and Eibach who have lowered mavericks don't even bother using them.

Solid. Yeah I’m more cautious in my old age when doing suspension work. 16 year old me would’ve let it ride out and get the alignment next paycheck haha

Ha. Same here. As a self-proclaimed car guy who's a complete novice, I would rather pay for the peace of mind. I don't know cars inside and out well enough, like some of the guys here, to gamble with something I don't completely understand. Especially when said thing costs tens of thousands of dollars, ha.

After 27k miles on stock suspension I swapped in the eibach pro kit. Love the looks. Suspension has less travel but corners much better. It stays flat in turns and under braking/accelerating. I had a shop do the instal along with alignment.

2024 XL Hybrid on Eibachs and 20" Mach E GT wheels 245/45/20

 

[floridamanaaron]

Anyone with a Hybrid AWD pulled the trigger on any suspension?

 

[Cycopath]

Eibachs with 245/45 20's. No rubbing and it corners like a fiend. No clunking noises, even over harsh railroad tracks.
