NSFW Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Has anyone tried Eibach springs on an 05+ Legacy, and taken pictures? I searched, and found only two posts about Eibach springs, and apparently the first batch sucked, but that was three and a half years ago. This guy got some two years later, and was happy, but posted no pics. If they really do have the drop they claim, I'd like a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpiotro Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I am looking for a spring to run with Bilstein HDs. These appear to be progressive front and rear so should pass the wife test no problem and they have a greater drop in the front to hopefully avoid "saggy butt". I figure I will probably still need a 3/8" Paranoid Fab for rear of my wagon, but these seem to be a viable option. Maybe I will be the guinea pig. http://subiwiki.com/wiki/index.php/BL_%282005-2009%29#Handling_Modifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My tuner recommended the Eibach Pro-Kit springs. Great price and great performance per him. I was unable to find much information on them and got cold feet and went with Swifts. I was also told by the tuner that they only have fitment for 05+ LGT with Bilsteins.

biz77 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 According to Eibach's web site they offer springs for the 2005 - 2008 Legacy GT. It mentions nothing about Bilsteins and FWIW there was no OEM Bilstein option offered in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 From my experience, these springs on WRX/STI's have the classic 'sagging butt' look..

I wouldn't be surprised if the springs were originally made for JDM cars, though, which were all Bilstein as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could buy off on that IF Eibach were based in Japan. They have no Pro-Kit listing for any Subaru on the Eibach.jp site: http://www.eibach.jp/shohin.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonts Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Whatever. Didn't get the springs. Tuner called for fitment while I was standing beside him. This is simply the information he provided to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goneskiian Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 That looks great! I'm still trying to decide on springs too. I thought I read somewhere that the Rallitek springs are made by Eibach. Don't quote me on that though! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't know what Eibach sells here, but their springs were available in JDM long time ago. A set of Eibach springs came with a set of Bilsteins I imported from Japan. Never tried them though - sold them to a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said a few posts later that installed all 4. Which fronts did you install? And are you happy with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that this means that the Eibachs are designed for the JDM tophats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreu Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 so would that mean the drop that eibach states (1.0"F and 0.8"R) would be for spec b bilsteins and hd's. And for usdm kyb legacy gt struts the drop will be more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
