BBPeik Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I am really happy with the eibachs. FWIW since I am a weirdo who likes the Bilsteins My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cup_of_Joe Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Check with Eibach...I think they might still have the sport springs on closeout available.

amidroc Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Is it normal for their phone contact to be busy? I can't seem to get ahold of them Sent from my LG-ls990 using Tapatalk I called yesterday morning inquiring and the lady I spoke to said the entire block experienced a power outage. Since then the phone system has been down. I suspect the PBX system has not recovered or they have the phones forwarding incorrectly Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amidroc Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Here are some helpful hints: Get a set of Pass-Thru sockets to disassemble the stock shocks from the tophat since you need to hold the stock shock rod with an allen key to keep it from spinning. The rear Koni spring perch (silver stamped steel) goes down like a hat, not up like a bowl. Instead of pass through sockets I used impact socket held with vise grips and a T handle allen wrench and I was successful. I have the spring seat as such. Instructions show it upwards?? http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g217/amidroc/2010%20Legacy%20GT%20Premium/20160401_214641_zpscyrkbqhc.jpg Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyvt Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm actually the one that found that Eibach deal on close out. I have a contact through email that I used when I ordered. Shoot me your email over PM and I'll give the ladies contact info that I used to order my Eibachs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveande Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Talked to Anna at Eibach and I'm in for a set! Now a question... Will the stock struts hold up with these? How will the ride be?

Stock struts a bad idea? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Depends on how many miles the stock struts have. If they were new, I'd say maybe they would be fine for 50k miles, if they already have 50k miles, I would say they don't have long before they are dead. Put Konis on your to-do list for very soon or the same time these are installed.

cww516 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm guessing they're just releasing 3 sets at a time from standard inventory into the clearance bin so they can keep moving inventory. If they're out now, there'll probably be more later, at least until they stop production on them entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveande Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Did she say how many are left? Glad they are still available. She didn't... we exchanged brief emails. But if anyone is interested it's worth a shot. Anyone else order a set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You, me, and Cup_of_Joe, so that may about do it for this batch. If they're still on the closeout page it might be worth asking if you could still get that price, but I wouldn't count on it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Konis on your to-do list for very soon or the same time these are installed. What's the consensus on the appx. lifespan of the stock struts with stock springs? Much past 50k? I bought my 2010 LGT last August with 60k, almost entirely stock. Not sure how much life to expect of the struts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Well they sucked brand new, and they suck more now. You will be doing yourself a huge disservice to the possible enjoyment level of your car if you're not planning on changing them to Konis ASAP. Believe me, it will be like you just bought a new car and hind sight will hit you like a train. And then you'll get mad at Subaru for pulling the faux wool over your eyes.

laopadak Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Just got confirmation on my order from Eibach.Thanks to Mikeyvt for the contact info. Awesome price for the pro kit. Koni's are up next for ordering and will be selling my Swifts shortly thereafter. Didn't have any problems requesting the close out pricing so get them while they're still available.

GTEASER Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Emnotek is a forum vendor and the best price around for the Koni's. And super fast (I think free) shipping.

I understand the Konis are a significant improvement, and one I'd love to enjoy! My underlying question is how soon do I need to drop $800 (+?)... 'need' being the operative word. Maybe the stockers are nearing their end... maybe not? Maybe a 1" drop will significantly lower their life expectancy? Now, why subaru wouldn't upgrade the suspension on the GT is beyond me...

Maybe a 1" drop will significantly lower their life expectancy? Now, why subaru wouldn't upgrade the suspension on the GT is beyond me... I understand what you're trying to find out, but the answer isn't straightforward. You don't *need* to do anything until it stops working (and even then, you can probably still ignore it). Do you drive on perfectly smooth roads? Then they'll last longer. Do you drive on the moon? Then they'll wear out more quickly. I mean, there are cars on the road right now that have completely shot suspensions and their owners don't know or don't care. So, when you say "need", what is it, exactly, are you asking for? To me, I interpret it to ask "When will I be unable to tolerate the suspension?" which then leads to GTEASER's previous thoughts on the subject.
