please give me advice between eibach springs and suspension techniques??? the goods and bads or ur personal experience if u have them, im gonna use them more for cornering like in a circuit track, just a little for drag race please guys help me wit this problem thank you very much

 

suspension techniqes are good for the person that mainly wants a lower stance with slightly more spring rate.

eibachs are alot stiffer and will be good for the auto-x'er

 

I copied this from an old thread on this forum some time ago. Hope it helps.

Front Spring Rate:

Stock 100

Racing Beat 145 (Lowers approx. 3/8")
Suspension Techniques 85/120 (Lowers Car approx. 1")
Eibach 171 (Lowers Car approx. 3/4")
Tokico 194 (Lowers Car approx. 1")


Rear Spring Rate:

Stock 85

Racing Beat 110 (Lowers approx. 3/4")
Suspension Techniques 80 (Lowers Car approx. 1")
Eibach 100 (Lowers Car approx. 3/4")
Tokico 111 (Lowers Car approx. 1")

 

Does anyone know where you can even get a set of tokico springs?

 

i don't think that tokico makes springs for our cars ... i know they have shocks (because i have them all around) and i also have eibachs all around. I've tried suspension techniques in the past and wasn't too happy about the results ... so i'm one up for hte eibachs ... but i hope that you can find htem because they have been discontinued even the guys on ebay don't really have them i've tried every single one of them.

 

Victoria British still has the Eibachs.

And you can find Tokico springs.

 

i bought sway bars from suspension techniques, tokico hp, shocks and well suspension techniques springs , we'll see how that goes the eibach i've searched everywhere for them and nobody have them they r in back order tru eibach until march 06 they r not DISCONTINUED i needed the suspension done so this is all i found i hope everythig goes ok they told me there isn't much of a difference eibach r stiffer but the tokico r stiffer as well so the suspension techniques r the same the difference it's allmost nothing they would work the same this advice gave me MAZDATRIX and trust they know their **** and plus eibach sell for allmost 300 dollar and ST cost me 210 i found the eibach cheap too but out of stock and im not gonna pay 300 for springs so i think i did i good combination if i find something wrong i'll posted so i'll be the guinea pig lol thanks everyone

 

I challange that statement. I called Tokico the other day and asked where I could find them, and they told me that they were discontinued, and had no idea where any could be found. But if you know somthing I dont please let me know!! Thanks!

 

ebay ebay ebay my friend that's where i got the shocks and they still have them. and search on the web alot =)

 

Well my Victoria British has them inside. I'll give them a call later on and verify that they are in stock.

I know they have Eibach's in stock, because I was looking into them with Konis and piece together a coilover setup.

 

The only problem with VB is they are about 100 bucks too high. Check the big online sites, Nopi, Summit, etc.

 

Go look in the Race Tech area for a guy setting up a Spec 7 car. Dave Turner sports told him they had a bunch of parts.

Dave Turner will sell you a set of the TMC cs-400 springs which are what are used in spec 7. They are stiffer than all the other spings listed, they fit on the stock pearch and cost about half as much as the others.

Thay are great springs!

 

wow, I alwas thought the eibachs were softer than the ST's

I have ST's on the FB and eibachs on my SA but haven't driven that car yet.
