just wondering if anyone knew how the eibachs compare to stock springs, besides ride height.  I noticed that my new eibachs are easier to compress a few inches than my stock springs are a couple inches.  just wondering if I'm actually switching to something better or if I should turn around and sell them.

Here are the eibach rates copied from the suspension faq/tech.  anyone know what the 88 gt springs would be?

Eibach
Front: 143-230 pounds
Rear: 112 - 183 pounds
Front Difference: 87 pounds
Rear Difference: 71 pounds

88 GT (FE3 Suspension)
Front:  154 lb/in (157 @ wheel)
Rear:  160 lb/in (95 @ wheel)

88 Base (F41 Suspension?)
Front:  126 lb/in (132 @ wheel)
Rear:  160 lb/in (95 @ wheel)

The rears are progressive rate.

thanks jeff, I appreciate the info.  how do those compare exactly though? any idea? should I have kept the z51 springs on there?

That's a good question.  I don't know about spring rates and stuff.  The Eibachs give you a pretty good ride and lower your car, but I wouldn't say they really improve the handling over the FE3 springs.  That's my opinion, though, and lots of other things affect handling too.

If you get good matching struts I think you would be happy with the Eibachs.  However finding GOOD front struts can be a challenge now.

ive owned my pair of eibachs for about 4yrs now and i cant complain they handle very well i just put them in my car that i have now and has the suspension i took out of a gtz so i'll find out how it goes for this car

Image of rear springs, still it lowered the rear about 2cm~.

this reminds me of how bad i need new springs, shocks, struts


i guess autozone is going to have my money, i need them bad and the LLT warranty makes me likey more
