Correct me if I'm wrong but is this correct being high to low drop setup?

Eibach pro - tein h - tein s

I'm looking at which setup will give me a decent drop with least effect with camber. I've been reading and it looks like a lot of camber issues have been fixed with just an alignment? I plan to run on stock wheels but eventually get 18 or 19 wheels not sure how big of a factor the drop will cause me later on when i get new wheels ( such as rubbing and camber)

 

yes the order is correct.

all 3 drops will affect camber. eibach will have the least affect. i have the stechs and the drop is agressive. specs say ~1.5, but after they settled i have no gap (from the tire to the fender) in the rear and maybe a finger gap in the front. my camber was very negative until i added a camber kit. youll need a thrust alignment about a week after the springs are installed. my shop recommended another one after 1000 miles. the second alignment was free. im too picky so i havnt decided on wheels yet, but im not sure i can put 19s without them rubbing.

id recommend coils, but if they are too pricey then id go w/ the eibachs.

 

ive been looking at the eibachs even before i got the car lol since a friend has them on a g37s. but with the eibach would i still need a camber kit to correct or would an alignment fix it enough to not worry about long term tire wear. ALso im assuming since eibach gives the least of a drop it would also put the least stress on my shocks? i havent seen too many pictures of tsx on eibach on stock wheels. Since i plan to be on stocks for a while im trying to get a picture of what it would look like. Eibach say its a 1/1 F/R drop but after it settles maybe 1.2? or 1.5?

 

they best way to tell is to get an alignment before the drop. then another one after the drop and compare the specs. keep in mind camber will only affect the tread ware on your tires. A thrust alignment will correct the toe and trail specs. MrOtocinclus has a pic of the eibachs w/ stocks. ill try to find it. not sure about the stress of the shocks. i have about 2500 miles on the stechs and my shocks have held up so far. im in phx and have made 2 trips to cali. rides great.

the eibachs dont look like much of a drop on stock wheels, but the rear does look lower. It does look lower on MrOtocinclus enkei wheels. is a thrust alignment differ from the general term of just getting an "alignment"?

 

not sure. i know there are different alignment types like front-end and thrust alignment, im not sure which one refers to the general term.

 

if u want i can send you a pic of my car after the springs settled...since we own the same car.

 

yea that would be great. thanks man

 

 

what?! thats on eibach and stock shocks? thats alot lower than i expected. not bad at all. did you have camber kit installed?

 

im on s techs...thats before the camber kit

 

oh ok..i was gonna say that the lowest eibach setup on a tsx ive seen on the forum

 

I'd like to go with H-Techs but haven't been able to find anyone that has a definitive answer as to how much it sags and how long till it finally settles.

 

I have about 3000 miles on my Htechs. They have not settled at all. The shop took it on an extended test drive after install and they have not setted since then. I have driven with a full load of people hit big bumps and they are square as can be. They do ride a little firmer and I wish the rear was about .2 inches lower, but they are decent all around spring. Handling has definately improved and the entire driving dynamic is more sporty. You can feel the progressive springs though when they are compressing in a turn and then you hit a bump, it is firm. But if you have a lot of weight in the car they soften up well. Maybe the eibachs are a softer riding spring, but I don't mind my Teins. If I had it to do over again, I may have just gotten coil overs, but these arent bad.

 

^^ that looks good but it may be too low for me as a daily driver

 

Yeah if I had it to do over again I would have gotten coilovers.

 

i just got a quote from a shop that will sell me the eibach pro for $210 and installed for $100 - good deal?

 

I don't know how you expect to beat that. Take it and RUN!!!

 

i dont know either

 

Wow! That is a great deal......My local shop wants $600 installed with an alignment included......Even with adding an alignment for $100 that is a steal!

 

wait........you say the H techs look too low for you but yet you are going for Eibach Pro kit?

little bit confused here lol

 

yea...doesnt the eibach give the least of the drops?

 

Eibach is 1 and 1; H-Techs are 1.1 in the front and 0.7 in the back.

 

i thought htechs would give a lower drop. So your saying Eibach will be lower than "sincitytsx" drop on his car?

 

in the back, yes.

S-Techs are the one that go really lower.

 

And the Progress Springs will lower the car 1.2" front and .8" rear. I just called Progress and they are in stock for $196.00. See this link for a picture. http://progressauto.com/products/sfI.../productID/599

I don't know if anyone has tried this brand before, but since I can't get the H&R springs for another month (the mfg is out of stock!) I think I am going to try these. The Spring rates are almost the same as the Tein H Techs and they have a lifetime warranty!

 

Also note that Sincitytsx has larger tires on his car. They are 245/40/19. That will make the drop look lower than on a car with stock OD wheels and tires.......

 

Many have said their end result is lower than what the numbers they list.

No complaints as, nearly all don't mind going low. But for the selected few, we just want the reduce wheel gap, and every 0.X inch matter in comparison. The hates would say, if you don't want low, might was well go stock, but they don't understand.

 

yea..i do plan to get 19s most likely

dont get me wrong i want to drop the car. i dont like it looking 4x4 when i do get wheels

 

I am putting 19's on my car too, but most people put 245/35/19 on for tires as it is the closest size to stock. This will make the drop look less severe. FYI, the only thing I seem to have heard negative about the Eibach's is that the front seems to sit higher than the back which is the same as the stock look....it is just looks exagerated when on a lowered car....that is why I would like the front dropped a little more than the rear....

 

What size wheels and tires are those?

 

245/40/19

 

most likely going with the eibach pro. i want to get bbs LM reps but not sure how they might look.hmmmm

 

IMO if you get the LM, you have to go lower

 

well...i got to thinking with all the ride height differences with different springs. why not check coilovers since you get a broad range. I was looking at TEIN BASIC coilovers and was wondering if anyone had any input on them. If a shock blows on the coilover im assuming it can be replaced without buying a whole coilover set?

 

I just got new shoes for my car and i also ordered the Progressive springs to go with it.....Springs should be here this week and I will take pictures and post once they are installed! Got 19x8 +40 offset wheels with 245/35/19 Falken Azenis PT722 tires.....so far so good on the tires and the wheels fit nice and flush!

 

sweet cant wait to see them!

 

That is a great deal for install! Take it!

 

I am thinking about coilovers now :/
