Wow. Eibach answered the phone almost immediately after I picked the correct attendant prompt, and didn't ask for my Steeda receipt or anything. New springs are on the way!

It's Lowered...But... issues with Eibach lowering springs

ride height is exactly the same between the old and new springs. Eibach claims the spring rate is the same as well. My truck feels the same exact way it did before when I had the first version. Now the HR Super Sports? That's different entirely. It felt more harsh to me even on good roads.

I have a 2022 ecoboost on the oem suspension and I’ve been dealing with a similar clunk, especially when backing out of my driveway and the. Turning left to pull out. It may be something unrelated to the Eibachs. I have been searching this site for others who have experienced this issue. Haven’t seen any solutions yet. Taking mine to the dealer soonIt looks amazing but I have the issues that others are reporting now with their eibach springs and we have taken this thing apart numerous times to check everything. It started with a slight thud when turning left only which led us to think it may be the sway bar end links in the front. Now after some miles and driving on various roads, it is doing the same thing driving straight on road transitions and turning right. I turned into an angled parking lot to go to dinner and it sounded like the whole front end is loose, even though I know it's not. It has to be something in the top hat. That is all we can figure at this point. I do not have aftermarket sway bars or struts, only eibach AWD springs. I dropped it back off with my installer this evening and he is going to call eibach in the morning for some assistance. Is anybody with the H&R springs having these same issues? It can't be just eibach right? I have their stuff in 2 of our Mustangs and used their products numerous times before with no issue. Anyway, here is the truck lowered, it looks amazing for a simple spring drop.
yes, check with your dealership. based on what you described, it could be a ball joint, cv joint or axle half-shaft.

I never paid attention to it when mine was stock, but it was only stock for 500 miles. The second the first set of Eibach's went in it started and kept doing it until I switched to the H&R springs, well at least for the first lil bit. The HR springs didn't make a clunk noise per say, but they did become noisy as time went on. I honestly think it was the way the spring was designed with some of the coils sitting on each other. Now that the new revised Eibach's are on the truck I am happy to say I don't have the clunk or any other abnormal noises and these have been on my truck for a while now. Still waiting on someone to make some better struts and shocks to work in conjunction with the lowering springs. The stock ones are ok, but a correctly dampened set will be so much better.

After installing my updated eibachs, i was noise free at first but over time I started getting kind of a slight creaking/clunking noise only when going over bumps, or when turning slowly. Idk whats causing it

I have just attributed the noises they make as normal for a lowered vehicle. Mine is still noise free with the revised Eibach's after about 4000 miles, but even when the HRs were on it the noises didn't bother me as bad because I guess I got used to it.

Another member that had the H&R's installed, found that adding longer sway bar end links (adjustable) helped with the ride and noise of the H&R's.

For my Silvers coilovers, there was clunking because of the adjustable end links... they kept coming loose even with red threadlock. I got solid ones that were the right length and the knocks went away.

So i installed my Eibach springs, & it still looks very slightly raked to the back, the measurements were about what others said i think 30 1/2 " ish on stock BAP rims & tires, should it be level or not whats everone elses like
I did the same but went to a different set of adjustables. Im curious what solid end links you went with.
