Eibach is looking for an Acura ILX for R & D

Hey all,

Eibach is currently in search of a 2013/2014 Acura ILX to carefully research and develop new suspension components.

If you happen to own this vehicle and want to be part of Eibach´s ongoing quest to provide the best performance suspension products, please PM me and/or fill out the your information on our website:
http://performance-suspension.eibach...s_your_vehicle

It is preferred if you live in the Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego or Ventura County areas.

Participants will receive Eibach goodies and a prokit [this is dependent on fitment]

Thanks!

-Mike

Haha damn well how many owners are in that area?

I totally hit that big liquor store in studio city off ventura and grabbed some rogue chocolate stout and this victory beer at 12%. Im in that area every other friday to hit a co op that just reopened out there.

I dont know anywhere to grab food so if you know a spot for beers and food well have to hit it up!

I forgot to mention they even hooked it up with an alignment and a rental car!

Definitely miss the ILX after driving a station wagon Jetta...

They better do the alignment or else youd need to go pay for one. And I read about the rental car. That is awesome. Congrats. Wish it were me.

Eibach says 1.8 front and 1.5 rear. As far as ride and handling are concerned - the ride is obviously stiffer and has its moments of bumpiness, but the handling has improved significantly. Definitely recommend getting a thicker rear sway bar as it will be help with some of the roll.

So fucking cool. Totally jealous.

Just be sure to ask them about subframe tear out and what you need to prevent it.
Happened to potmilkz recently
https://acurazine.com/forums/4g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-298/torn-rear-subframe-due-24mm-rsb-i-knew-coming-901987/

See if they can make any braces to help.

wow that's crazy..! I'll definitely bring that up and much appreciated!

Yeah extremely fortunate and lucky with Eibach. Will check if they will be making coilover applications for the ILX. Got a date towards the end of next week with them.

Also, going to be contacting Magnaflow since they are about 10-15 miles south of Irvine!

Also ask about sportlines? or if they are only working on prokit? If they are going to do sportlines I hope they make sportier shocks for us!

Had sportlines on my eighth Gen and wish it had shocks that matched... felt like it bottomed out on certain bumps
