Eibach Springs

Are you looking to improve the suspension on your vehicle? With options available from companies such as H&R, Eibach and Koni, Tire Rack has the products to improve your vehicle's appearance and handling.  

An entry-level introduction to improving your vehicle's appearance and handling is to purchase a set of lowering springs and performance dampers.

If you are looking for more control over adjustability then consider a coil-over or cup kit. 

Anti-roll bars are also a great addition to improve handling and help remove body roll around corners. 

Lowering will change the ride characteristics of the vehicle, therefore give some thought to the balance you want to maintain between handling, looks and ride comfort. If you have upgraded your wheels and tires to a larger-than-original size, you will also want to check clearance before you decide on the kit you want.          

Want to get rid of the extra room between your fender and your tire? Eibach Pro-Kit Springs can help give your car a more aggressive street look. Lowering springs will also help to reduce body roll under cornering and heavy braking/acceleration, offering the driver the best handling and aggressive, good looks without sacrificing ride quality.

Aftermarket springs and performance suspension kits are worth every penny, but sometimes that penny doesn't quite equal the price you're willing to pay.

Eibach Springs is a very well respected suspension company, and their products get great reviews from our previous customers.

"[The Eibach Sport System Kit] gave my car a nice low look. Completely eliminated all wheel well gap. I felt that the car handled great with stock components—I never though that these would make it handle any better and they did. The ride quality is just as good as stock." — Tire Rack Consumer Review, Honda Civic, PA

"Installed the Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set along with the Eibach Sway Bar set in January...car feels like its on rails, particularly due to the setting on the sway bars (track setting). Great product and highly recommend to anyone who wants a more aggressive ride." — Tire Rack Consumer Review, Hyundai Genesis, TX

We have the lowering springs you need if you are looking for a way to reduce that large wheel well gap that most modern Mustangs have as well as improve the vehicle's handling. 

The Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set and H&R Sport Springs are two very popular options that offer a moderate amount of lowering while still maintaining much of the original ride quality. For those who want more aggressive lowering, the Eibach Sportline Springs and the H&R Super Sport Spring kits. 

Keep in mind that performance dampers are recommended for use with more aggressive springs.

  Have you ever seen a car on the road that has a new, shiny set of wheels and tires that make you say, "Wow, those look great on that car. But why is there such a gap between the top of the tire and the fender?”

That gap can be minimized by using a set of lowering springs from Eibach, particularly the Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set. Since this kit is designed to work with your stock shocks and struts, it is not imperative that you change your shocks to a higher performance level. This spring kit will lower the car about an inch or more depending on the application. It will also enhance the handling characteristics of the car without compromising the ride comfort.

Available for a wide range of vehicles, the Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set is a very inexpensive way to improve the handling and looks of your ride.

Think your current ride is looking a little bland?

Need a little extra kick to make yourself stand out?

Or maybe you just want to keep your wheels cleaner?

There are many solutions to what ails your vehicle. And some of these solutions are simple fixes that will not only improve the looks, but also its performance.

Looking bland?

Start simple with some products from Griot's Garage. A simple wash can make a car look temporarily clean, but try using Griot's Paint Cleaning Clay along with their Speed Shine products to pull out the contaminants and impurities in your paint. You will be amazed at the great results you see! The paint will look and feel much smoother It will also be itching for a new coat of wax. Griot's has a great selection of different wax applications to choose from and also offers a Random Orbital Polisher to help you get professional results without damaging your paint surface.

Need a kick?

Check out our Upgrade Garage to look for great deals on Tire & Wheel Packages. Going with a new set of wheels in a stock size is a nice way to add some flair to your car without changing the ride. Adding new tires completes the process and with Tire Rack, you can be confident that it will be a perfect fit!

Already have a new set of wheels? Try lowing the car with a set of Eibach lowering springs. The lowered stance will give the car an aggressive look and help fill in that space gap between the tire and the car.

Going for a cleaner look?

Besides using the Griot's products, you can go for a brake package upgrade. Installing new, rust-resistant rotors can give the car a fresh, clean look that you will admire every time you look at your car. Add a set of new, low-dust brake pads and use some G2 Caliper Paint to finish off the process. Now your vehicle stops better than before, and you have a fresh look!

Try one of these solutions and enjoy the new sensation of falling in love with your ride all over again!

When it comes to your vehicle's suspension settings, there's always a little bit of flexibility. Many drivers like to lower their vehicle to enhance its aesthetics, but you have to be really careful about how low you go. Take it down too much and you put yourself at risk for negative ride quality, bad tire wear—and you just might "bottom out."

Keep in mind that when you go lower, you'll need a higher spring. At Tire Rack, we carry a number of products from reputable brands like Eibach and H&R that provide the required higher spring rates. In addition, you'll need to realign your vehicle, as lowered vehicles typically need adjustments to achieving efficient alignment.

We had a chance to test drive our BMW 325i test cars with both lowering springs and coilover shock/springs installed and what an experience!

The cars outfitted with the O.E. shocks/struts and the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs ("mild" lowering, about one inch of drop) felt nearly as comfortable as stock, but helped the car feel more responsive to steering input. 

The Eibach Pro-System Plus Kit "sport" springs lowered the car nearly two inches and made a noticeable change in both handling and ride comfort. It was nothing that I felt was too stiff for daily use.

The Eibach Multi-Pro Coil-Over R1 Kit was set up to lower the car about two inches as well, but the more aggressive shocks made a pronounced change and took a fair amount of comfort out of the ride on city streets and highway runs. 

While the coil-over gives you the flexibilty to adjust your ride height to make it "just right," it will come at the cost of some ride comfort. I'd say that coil-overs are best on a track car in my opinion!

If you are like most people it can be a difficult choice to take off a perfectly good suspension system and replace it. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind. As you may already know if you read my blog post about the family mini-van and the suspension upgrade I used on it you may have thought "a performance suspension on a minivan doesn't make much sense." While that may be true, to some there is another way to look at it. A performance suspension set up like I used to lower our Honda Odyssey can increase your fuel mileage by reducing aerodynamic drag. It's true; in a recent test the Eibach F150 Pro-Kit springs suspension upgrade not only improved every aspect of handling but also fuel efficiency. 



So, in the long run it's almost like getting that much desired aggressive lowered stance and improved handling for free and where I come from free is good. If needed, please feel free to use this new found money saving information to convince your significant other that it is a good and fiscally responsible idea to upgrade the springs and shock absorbers on your car ASAP.    

A coil over is created when you combine a spring, shock and bump stop into one unit. The spring itself encompasses the shock and the bump stop, and works to minimize any bounce that occurs when the vehicle comes in contact with road imperfections. And while the shock helps control unwanted suspension movement, the bump stop keeps all of your vehicle suspension parts from coming in contact with the vehicle's frame. In addition, coil overs are usually on an adjustable spring perch so that a vehicle's height can be adjusted without having to change the springs themselves.

Tire Rack carries a variety of coil-overs from companies like Eibach (shown above) who are committed to engineering excellence.

As you know, we like to keep you informed. Our Video Center does just that by taking you inside the various tests we perform. For example, we recently posted the following: "Form and Function—Performance Suspension Upgrades Can Deliver Both."
Last fall, we had the opportunity to test a few Eibach suspension components. A lot of our customers like to lower their vehicles for aesthetic and performance reasons, and we wanted to find out which Eibach products really got the job done. Using our 2008 BMW E92 328i Coupes, we were able to specifically compare their Original Equipment to the following:

— Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set
— Eiback Pro-System Plus Kit
— Eibach Multi-Pro Coil-Over R1

Check out our full report for all the details, and of course, watch the video! And when you have time, spend some of it in our Video Center. You never know what you'll learn.

One of my concerns with buying aftermarket suspension is how the product will look and preform on my vehicle? Eibach has helped by way of test video of the Eibach Pro-Plus Kit on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. The folks at Eibach tested the stock suspension on the 2010 Camaro SS vs. the 2010 Camaro SS with the Eibach Pro-Plus Kit. The Eibach Pro-Plus Kit consists of the Eibach Springs from the Pro Kit and front and rear Anti-Roll Bars.

See how the Eibach Suspension with the Eibach Pro-Plus Kit did vs. the Stock Suspension on the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS in the video "Eibach-Equipped 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS vs. Stock Suspension."

If you need to update your suspension system with replacement shock absorbers, springs or even an anti-sway bar—you'll want to spend some time reading our test results. We get to know our products so that we can recommend the best of the best to you. It's just one way Tire Rack attempts to streamline your purchase process.

Sure, we test tires. But over the years, we've done quite a bit of suspension component testing. We've covered brands like Eibach, H&R and KONI, and we'll continue to cover even more in the future. Here's a few that might interest you:

• "Form and Function: Performance Suspension Upgrades Can Deliver Both"
• "Eibach Pro-Kit vs. H&R Sport Spring Ride & Drive"
• "KONI FSD Dampers Improve Handling Without the Traditional Sacrifice in Ride Quality"

Whatever you want to upgrade, we know you take it seriously. Without a smooth suspension system, you'll feel every bump in the road. Which means your ride quality and safety levels could be compromised. Get the best.

Take your car springs up a notch with a sport-level suspension upgrade from Eibach Springs, the industry's leading aftermarket suspension product manufacturer.

The Pro-System Kit, pictured at left, brings together Eibach's most popular suspension products: Pro-Kit Sport Springs and Pro Damper Sport Shocks. It will lower your vehicle about 1-1/2", improving turn-in quality and reducing understeer. You'll also notice additional ride control (but not a loss of ride quality, which is nice).

A number of our Tire Rack Consumer Reviews can confirm this:

"I drive all over Colorado mountain passes and through cities as well and the Pro-System package is perfect. It kept the car very driveable in the city even with speed bumps and potholes everywhere, and in the mountains I can hit high speed turns with virtually no body roll or traction loss. When I purchase my next vehicle this will be the first upgrade I make to it." — Tire Rack Consumer Review, BMW 318i, CO

As your tires roll that vehicle of yours down the road, you'll need good suspension components—i.e. springs— to resist the pitch that turns and potholes will throw at you.

Though many of our customers choose their springs based on individual requirements (looks, ride quality, handling), we see a lot of them gravitating toward the H&R Sport Spring Set and Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set.
Though it's safe to say that these two products fit most vehicles, that won't always be the case. Despite any best-selling list of suspension products, you'll always want to search by vehicle to see a list of products well-suited to yours.

A lot of drivers fiddle with suspension components with the sole intent of changing their vehicle's appearance. For example, performance springs lower the vehicle to give it a sleeker profile. But what many drivers don't realize is that this fashionable change is also an upgrade.

Reducing ride height enhances performance, as lowered springs consequently lower the vehicle's center of gravity. This increases stability, controlling body movement during cornering, acceleration and braking.

Your vehicle uses a variety of suspension components to function properly. In addition to springs, you have dampers or shocks and anti-roll bars. So if you upgrade your springs to lower your vehicle, you'll want to take a look at what other suspension components manufacturers have to offer—a complete suspension upgrade with parts working together to further enhance performance.

To illustrate the functional benefits to upgrading suspension components, Tire Rack conducted a Real World Road Ride and Performance Track Drive. We compared Original Equipment components with a variety of upgrades from Eibach, one of our prominent suspension component brands. You can read our conclusions in "Installing Suspension Upgrades—When Fashion and Function Work Together."

I bought my 1997 Audi A4 with almost 100,000 miles on it.  After replacing the wheels and tires I was shocked at how poor the ride and handling felt.  The problem was the old suspension. 

After updating to Koni Sport Shocks and Eibach lowering springs, the car felt just like it should.

Noticeable differences :

• Reduced body roll when cornering
• Reduced pitch and dive when braking and accelerating
• A much more controlled ride
• Much improved cosmetic appearance from lowering

These changes made a night and day difference, and even though my car had very high mileage it felt like a new car.
