ThanksYes they do - shorter springs means shorter bump stop (attached instruction page/pic). I don’t believe they “settled” pretty much same heights measured when installed.
*Yes the front bump stops needs trimmed (i replied in another question with pic from instructions 20mm/.79"). Just make sure to get alignment afterwards, front toe/camber as for the rear no camber adjustments but toe setting needs to be set (I think slight rear camber offset is unavoidable & should be ok for tires if rotated often). Both the Eibach and HR spring kits are able to use the factory shocks and really the cheapest options/least amount of work required. The coilovers are more expensive and require more changes (stiffer ride quality) and the airbag kits are definitely more expensive and more work (but best off all worlds for looks and ride quality). I myself am happy with these HR springs (i wish were a little lower) as i live in michigan with bad weather & roads
I did try to get the Eibach first, but they canceled my order & removed part# off for a little bit. The only reason I went with the HR’s were I got them first & were supposed to be slightly lower. No I didn’t use the camber bolts - only had bump stops trimmed per: directions (both companies are similar using factory shocks, etc & I wouldn’t think either needs them camber bolts unless you need more aggressive) the back/rear of the maverick is unable to set camber only toe on the rears.
Back to the bump stop , why does eibach give rear bump stops? And H&R don't?? Are they needed??
I haven't had any problems at all with my H&R set-up and I may be wrong but i think even the Eibach says to leave the rears alone for the awd?
The eibach comes with new rear bump stops. Both eibach and h&r have you cut 20mm off the top of the front bump stops. Maybe just front wheel drive?? I have the H&R springs to install in the spring.
. Had my wheels/tires swapped out today. Discount Tire had to special order for me (they didn’t carry strada) and helped match price & deal on the whole package. 20 x 8.5 inch +40 offset Strada Perfetto S35 (I went with gloss black / red candy milled) and 245/50/20 General RT45. Here in Michigan with terrible roads I didn’t feel comfortable going bigger with less sidewalls and I had wanted to continue my black w/red accents I’ve been doing.
Turned out amazing, Chuck! Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to help build this tire and wheel combo with you!So I couldn’t wait any longer even though it’s the 1st day of spring Michigan is still calling for snow this weekend
So sharpHere’s some today of my “ecobeast awd”
Came out nice. My wheels are going on the next day after I get it back from the dealer, for the side curtain recall. What is the overall height of the wheel combo? ThanksHere’s some today of my “ecobeast awd”
