Old vs. Updated Eibach Kit

[NickyB]

Elite Race Fab has a deal on the Eibach kit currently, but I worry if it is the old kit that made noise vs. the revised version that does not. The CSR I spoke with at ERF said these parts were stocked in their warehouse November of 2022. Does anyone know a definitive date of revision? I would really hate to buy these to save $50 vs. Eibach directly only to have the noise issues others have.

I would have to read thru my old post to see exactly when Eibach made the swap. But it definitely was this year. I bought mine in November 2022 and got the old ones that made the noises. But, if you have the old ones, reach out to Eibach and they will swap them for you.

If it was definitely this year, it looks like the cheaper priced 3rd party kit is the old one then based on stock in dates. I would rather just buy direct to ensure I get the newer kit than worry about shipping springs back and forth to save $50, or maybe lose money after shipping costs. Thank you for the info.

Yea I would definitely buy direct if it was me. I did in fact, back in November but that was before they were aware of all the issues.

Just wait until Ford Performance starts selling their own springs. They’re repainted Eibachs.

or buy the GWR springs. They are improved Eibach designs.

Is there a real benefit of waiting for Ford springs if they are the same thing? I don’t see GWR springs for a FWD on their site. Am I blind?

Mine hybrid Is on eibach springs. I mentioned the noise people talk about when I dropped the truck off to have the springs installed. My mechanic told me on his test drive it squeaked. He went back and tighted top strut nut down super tight and there's no noises at all now

my lowered CG XLT HYB got EIBACH's as soon as they released them to public(like 3 weeks later) NO noise here
