Eibach coilover springs
 
I'm looking to pair up a new set of coilover springs with the Tein Flex Z coilover setup. I'm going with the 8/6 or as close as I can to that. I see Eibach makes coilover springs in 448 & 371 and with their good reputation for the ground control setup I was looking for feedback or opinions of these springs vs the Swifts. Pricing is near identical from what I've found. Anyone have experience with these?

Any good spring is going to work just fine. Hypercoil, Eibach, Swift, Pac, etc.

Agree very little functional difference between quality spring manufacturers. I used to build and valve custom coilovers and we would use hyperco, eibach, tein, swift, bilstein, whatever was available in the correct length and rate.

really good move in so many ways. i agree w the other posters... the rate is the thing and all the other vendors springs should work similarly.

Thanks for the reply guys. Is there any concerns I should have running the 8/6 rates with 255/40/17 tires? I was looking over Howard's suspension thread and thought it mentioned this rate with stock or similar tire sizes.

no issues w 8/6 and your setup...

I run 8/6 as well with 18's. my cold tire pressures are 32/30 which seems to like that pressure.
