Anyone ever used these on their 1st gen? I wanted to know if the drop was too much. I'm either getting these or the Eibach Pro-kit spring set just wanna know if any of you 1st gen guys have any expierence with these?

Errr, search, these are common and there is a post with all the drops for each brand.

 

yeah I know the drops, sorry i searched but maybe was too vague. I wanna know how well it performed over stock and If it would be a problem daily driving. I'll do another search see if I cant find it.

 

IMO Eibach are the premier springs around for any purpose, if it says their name I would recommend them

 

the main thing is rubbing i dont want that.

 

None of the aftermarket springs will rub on stock sized rims and tires, but if you've got larger, wider tires then you'll need to measure, none of the springs are more than 1 inch lower though

 

I don't think Eibach makes Sportlines for 1st gens.

 

I dont mean to jack this thread, but where is the cheapest place to buy eibach's? The cheapest I can find is $229.50 at gripmotorsports.com

 

why not just get the prokit? dont worry about rubbing or anything, unless you like to cut them, which I dont condone at all.

 

nah I don't wanna cut them at all my 7 is gonna be nice not rice, or half assed

 

well put....oh and crazy ugly coyote ill see if i can get them for you at a better price....like aussie said eibach is good all around ive installed lots o sets on all kinds of cars and i think that they got it down, they pertty much get rid of the wheel gap....but leave enough room for them to settle after there worn in....like i said ive lowered countless cars and they look great....besides the first gen 7 cant go lower then 1 inch anyway unless you get that crap that allows you to....but that overdoing it, mazdatrix test's three types of springs and graphs it....you might want to check that out....maybe that will help? other then that good luck....

:AA:

 

You do know the difference between the Sportline and Pro-kit, don't you? The Sportline is linear and the Pro is progessive. I have the Pros on mine and it is stiff, not sure how much difference the Sportline would make. I cut my rear bump stops 3/4" and still bottom out occasionally, with the Illuminas set at midrange.

 

thanks I'll try and find the mazdatrix test graph.

 

Eibach doesn't make sportline for the SA/FB unless they have changed things in the last 6-8 months.

 

well i sorted by my car (84 gs) and it came up with them. This was on tirerack.com

 

i too found them there and thought about a set.

 

crazy as it is i just tried to order them and they aren't avaliable anymore. weird? pro-kit it will be. someone said they were kinda stiff. even with a non adjustable performance shock?
