Eibach Pro Kit Installed

[ParsM3GT]

So I went to see Jimmy at Street Performance yesterday to get my Eibach springs installed. Jimmy did a great job for a good price and was done in less then an hour. I`m very happy I lowered my car. It was worth every penny.

Here are before and after pictures.

Looks really nice dropped. RX8 rims finish it off nicely!

[Flagrum_3]

Looks real nice, I think you'll grow to love them more once they've settled.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

[Caz]

Very nice!

[garboui]

looks awesome. how do you find the ride comming off of stock springs?

[Hazy]

the drop looks perfect on those rx8 wheels.

[bb1999jan17]

nice looking, where did you get rx8 rims?

[cyberscorpi0]

Those RX-8 rims looks really good in your car.

Your background looks familiar. Where did you do the photoshoot?

[ParsM3GT]

It was around Hwy 10 and Old School road, North Brampton/Caledon area.

I bought the rims from Texas2lo.

Its bouncier, wayyy stiffer in corners than stock... WAY flatter.

on the 401 East between avenue and markham rd, it feels like you are driving a boat on choppy water... but you get useto it after a week.

Is that a good thing? lol

[MattC]

at first, the whole "pogoing" aspect of the new suspension kinda bugged me, but that was only because i was paying attention to it too much, after a week it became the norm and i don't even notice it..

for example, my girlfriend didnt even notice i lowered it until I told her a week later.

it all depends on how anal you are with changes on your car.

[ParsM3GT]

I dont really notice a big difference cause I dont pay attention to it. But then again I have not been on the highway yet with the new springs.

The car looks ten times better though and I`m loving it.

Honestly now? besides the forums, how many 3's do you see dropped? It's a major handling upgrade and a very nice asthetic upgrade as well.
If you see mrs I have 3 kids in a non tinted completely stock 3 having a blast, it's much different than some 3 with tint, a lowering kit, rims, or whatever.

The thing I don't get is so many 3 drivers lowering their cars, and rocking rx8 rims.

[MattC]

I dropped it to look nice, but now i like the way it handles better than how it looks.

[EvilDeadFan]

I've had mine dropped since .. late March? And I love the handling in comparison. Definately not bouncier. less bouncy as the springs are stiffer.

[MattC]

I got mine cause EDF told me to.

:gone

if you guys wana complain about too many people having the same mods as you, just convince SSG to stop doin GB's.

[Voodoo]

actually i love the bouncing on highway. i can feel the road

[EvilDeadFan]

What bouncing?? They're stiffer springs and don't bounce hardly as much. More like a sudden bump, but it's so tight and handles so much better.

[MattC]

I think he is referring to pogoing if you run on the stock shocks.

I only noticed this for a week, then it either stopped happening, or i just stopped paying attention.

on the 401, with a totally stock suspension you bounce all over the place. So the eibachs only help keep it stiffer!

[Tizmee24]

i was wondering if u need camper kit or do u have to change the shock too? once u installed the spring?

[Gizzmo_jr]

Not with the Prokit.

[MattC]

you CAN change the shocks, infact its probably recommended, as the stock shocks weren't meant to run with springs with the specs that the Eibach's have.

[zoomzoom33]

How much did the kit drop your car by? And how much did you pay for the rx8 rims?

[zoomzoom33]

Has anyone here that's dropped their car have any grinding/pinging or thumping sound coming from the suspension after you go over a bump/pothole? Also when you make a turn at slow speeds (10-15 km/Hr) do you notice any sound? I have other cars that are lowered and never have this issue before. Dealer says it needs to settle, found nothing wrong.

[ParsM3GT]

I have no issues with noise. How long have you had your springs on?

[MattC]

the only noise I hear when i drive is my tires gripping the road...
and yes, I have RSA's!

oh and my ticking throttle

[zoomzoom33]

I've had the springs on for about 2 weeks now.

[MattC]

who installed them for you?

I recall Jimmy having to go through a big deal to install the front ones... It is possible they didnt install them properly.

I had mine installed at scarborough mazda. I had it in already to have it checked out, but they said it needed to settle. I'll just wait abit more and see what happens.

[MattC]

I dunno, mine were perfect from minute 1, the actual ride settled after around 2 weeks, but there was never any sound diff

Sure Kid... I'm just gonna say "Been There, Done That"
