Anyone install PRL/Eibach springs in A-Spec?

Looking to hear about driving impressions if you have installed aftermarket Eibach springs on a A-Spec, Thanks!

I've had mine on for a few weeks now, and the car drives great. Hasn't bottomed out (make sure you cut the front bump-stops as the directions indicate) and handles more confidently. They are not bouncy, and the stance is perfect since there is still a bunch of ground clearance and some fender gap left. My girlfriend hasn't even noticed they are on the car.

After the install

I installed the lowering springs and when I turn my steering wheel left I hear a clunking noise wondering about the problem what might it be ?

There are other threads here where we have shared driving impressions, etc. I have had mind for over a year and 20,000+ miles. I love the look and lower center of gravity…..a little bit of noise over bumpy roads, but not objectionable and is noticeable only when I have my windows open….which is rare in Arizona. I hope you will do a search of the topics here so you can add to the conversation instead of starting another one. Just sayin…..

I have had Eibach springs in for a couple of weeks now. I have a clunk on the drivers side when hitting bumps. I bought some spring silencers which helped a little, but I am still trying to make it go away. Springs have been checked for seating and everything is right. Just wierd.

I too have some weird noises when I turn and going over bumps. Could it be that the installer didn't seat them correct? They called Eibach and their tech said it is a common problem and is something us a rubber sleeve to use.

Hope noise goes away, besides that the RDX looks clean!

I had my eibachs installed professionally 10 days ago. Still have a faint clunk on drivers side front on certain bumps even with the coil sleeves. They may have to be repositioned better where the coils touch. All In all I love the look of it lowered.

Very nice and looking good. Im about to order springs for myself also.

Did you do anything else suspension-wise? i.e. spacers, etc? Curious if you can also share a pic from the front or the back showing what the fitment looks like post spring install.

Thanks!

Hello!

I recently had the Eibach springs installed and the installer couldn’t find the bump-stops. He said they were part of the strut. Do you happen to know if that is true or know where they are located? My RDX bottoms quit frequently.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hey Chris. Yes, you must remove the rubber boot protecting the rod on the strut and you will see it there. It is a rigid foam material. Please refer to the installation instructions under documents on this page for clarity: https://eibach.com/us/2245/E10-201-0...RA-RDX-pro-kit

No the come with studs pressed in alre

Oe studs poke out of the spacer about 7-8mm





The pockets in the OE Aspec wheels are 15mm deep so no issue there. Not sure about any other trim level wheel
