CU2 springs from Eibach now available

http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Eibach-Pr...-pr-63667.html

UPDATED 10/21:
Eibach springs are now available for shipping!





PRESALE OPPORTUNITY!
This is a special opportunity to become one of the first to get a set of
Eibach springs. These pro kits will be released in the near future and
we want to have an order in to be one of the first companies to offer
this kit. All we need from you is an order so we can put you "in line"
to get one of these kits! Price is currently unknown, but we expect our
selling price to be in the $230-$270 range. Ordering this item now is
not a commitment to buy this item, and it will not cost you but $10. If
you decide to get the kit later, the $10 will apply to your purchase. If
you elect to not get a kit, you may apply the $10 to another purchase.
This deposit is not refundable though, so don't order unless you want
one of the highest quality springs in production for your 09 TSX!

Did they give any indication of how much of a drop we are looking at front and rear? I'd be curious of that before placing my order as Eibach it typically on the milder side of the spectrum when it comes to the amount of drop their springs give.

Eibach states on thier website that 2004-2008 TSX pro-kit has about a 1.6" drop in the front, 1.4" drop in the rear. They didnt have any specs for the 2009

You must have had some cheap springs or coilovers. If you do the proper research and are willing to pay the money for a good set, you can get a set that'll feel the same or better than stock.

How's the ride quality compared to stock? You utilize the stock struts?

ride quality is VERY very good(No rubbing or tilting to the side when cutting corners) for a car that has 20"Rims it rides smooth.... and yes i'm using stock struts(it only had 1k on them, they should last me a few years).

i'll try to have the pic's posted (before and after) by saturday.

Wow, nice! That sounds like it might have been more than a 1" drop.

^^^ Maybe not if he is running 20s. His overall tire / wheel diameter might be bigger.

Looks damn good. I may have to get a set.

Compared to stock, how's the ride quality? Can you be as specific as possible?
