Re: GROUP BUY: Eibach ProKit (3805.140) for 87-94 Berettas
I would be interested in a set. But first i want to know if the rear springs are stiffer than stock ones... since i got the problem with my canucks rear springs beeing softer than the stock springs... thats just too weird.
I have never had eibachs on a beretta yet but i know alot of people on here got them so can anyone answer my question please?

Dante See if Eibach will give you the spring rate specs vs stock so you can post that up for others to see, that should answer Michi's question.

Canucks softer than stock. Nonsense.
Call them. Something is not right there.
Mine were VERY stiff.

Well in the front they are pretty damn stiff compared to stock but not in the rear... I also run KYB gas-a-just. I could even image the differens when i got the stock springs out and then compared them to rear canuck springs by press them per hand an stand on them...
Spring rates would be nice but it would help me too if there are some people running eibachs can tell me that they are softer or stiffer than (rear)stock springs.
I like the drop of the canucks and beeing stiff in the front but i get crazy them beeing too soft in the rear... when i have two people back there or some more luggage its pretty damn low and not that nice to drive... its just weird to drive when the front is stiff and the rear is not. I also thought about drop in stock springs in the rear just because of that but i think eibachs are even better. I have eibachs on my Camaro and they are awesome.

OK this is Off Topic and I apologize to Dante, but Michi contact Canuck. They are pretty good with their warranty.
Also a listing of all the aftermarket spring rates would be kind of handy.

It would be hard for Eibach to advertise a rate because their springs are progressive. So the further you compress them the stiffer they get. I do know that with my stock FE3 to Eibach swap on my Z26 the Eibachs were no doubt heavier.

Currently have a set of these on my Zed, they are approximately 20% stiffer via readout of butt dyno compared to a stock spring with about 75k on them.

Should be fine. As for the spring rates, I will see what I can do. I believe Woody is right, I'm not sure how much info can be provided considering they're progressive rate.3X00-Modified wrote:Payment going out next week... hope thats ok.

Re: GROUP BUY: Eibach ProKit (3805.140) for 87-94 Berettas
I agree - They are noticeably more stiff than stock without being bouncy. I remember when I picked my old 93 GTZ (at the time with 90k on the car) up from the suspension shop that installed my Eibachs. I threw myself in the car as usual but immediately noticed the increased firmness. The drop is reasonable, but not so low that your tires will rub anything - The performance gain is the best part of the upgrade.Chad91GTZ wrote:Currently have a set of these on my Zed, they are approximately 20% stiffer via readout of butt dyno compared to a stock spring with about 75k on them.
