Johny Blaze has them but they sqeak. When he came to the meet you could hear his springs squeaking and when he was driving around the parkinglot it was squeaking again. GSXracer said he had eiabach's on his maxima and siad they suck as well. Not to drown on your ride JB just lettin other people know. May be yours need to be lubed up or something.

eibachs are really good springs. if they squeak, the coils contract and they touch each other. look at your springs, and you can tell by the wear and rubbing, where they touch. move your isolators to the place where they touch, and you'll be fine.

I swear by eibach for life. And mine squeaked when i first got them too. Take them back to the installer and have them intall the little platic tubing around the spring that should of come with it. It solves teh problem.

Eibachs are great springs and shouldn't squeak unless they were installed without the isolators. I swear by eibachs too.

No squeaking here! How much neg. chamber are you guys seeing with the pro-kit? The rear is chambered more than the front. I think I'm going to get the Ingalls correction kit!!!! My local RICE shop was not aware of any rear kit, but they swear they can get a front kit for a CL-S. They did not know the brand and they never heard of Ingalls!!!

Are you sure that those are Eibach on the Black CL-S??? The car looks pretty low, like coilovers.

sportline are fine...blkmjk has them


but i recieved an email from eibach today telling me how the sportlines don't go through the R&D the pro-kit do, and they were made to compete w/ the cheaper springs on the market....but i'd still get them if they made em for me.

Eibach are good srping. As for the squeeking noise you have to put that rubber thingy that comes with the stock spring this will get rid of those squeaking noise. I have Eibach sportline+kyb struts on my 1990 Civic Si for almost one and half years and no problems yet compare to the pro-kit sportline is a bit stiff and it lowers the car more.

Okay, okay here are some pictures. These are with the eibach sportlines though. They give about 3/4 to an inch lower drop than the pro-kits.

Thanks for the props, for next time remember, all you gotta do is ask and you shall receive.

Yeah, the sportlines will give you the most agressive drop without going to coilovers. There are some other brands of springs that will drop you lower (i.e., neuspeed, sprint)but those aren't very performance oriented.(bouncy, noisy, soft, saggy)

Thanks, Hollywood. The ride is great!! I am still using the stock shocks. Yes the springs that I am using is actually made for the accord v6, but they also fit the cl and tl.

What kind of wheels, offset do you have?

Did you need a camber adjustment kit?
