i've been noticing that my front is sagging majorly lately, and i was changing my oil the other day, and had it up on ramps, and was looking at the springs and all, i mean ALL the coils were touching each other, i dont think that is a good thing....

wouldn't that effect ride quality and might cause harm to my shocks? should i go ahead and swap them out and get the ford racing 1' drop spring??

This is NOT a good thing.

As I recall there was some discussion on this a few months back, some of Eibachs early run of springs were/went bad.

Try a serach.

Then go get yourself a set of Ruslow springs for ultimate handling or Hotchkiss/Rouch for street.


Good Luck

yeah, im gonna contact eibach

 

Let me know anything you find out as I've got a set in my truck and I'm curious as to what you find.

Phil, when you come over to finish your loop, let me look at it.

 

cobra97.. does your truck lean to one side real bad??? maybe that is what is wrong with my truck... it leans to one side really bad and I have belltech 2 inch coils.....

Looks like I will be taking those out real soon... anyone know a good set of coils to get??
or should I just get a set western chassis a arms???

 

Dont feel bad. Eibach springs sag on Mustangs too

 

i've got them on the cobra, and that was the only reason i got the eibachs for the truck, but i guess there not made for trucks as good as the mustangs........

 

ruslow, is the only way to go, imho

 

BINGO!

Call Ruslow.

 

I thought playas were supposed to lean to the side? Man I thought you were just flippin' switches Chris!

 

whats the difference between the 1' drop coils from frpp, or ruslow?

 

both are specific rate coils, however...

Ruslow - ability to select a spring rate specific to your needs.

 

Eibach sucks!


The day I drive an eibach equipt vehicle that I like how it rides and handles will be the day I take that comment back. But I won't hold my breath until it happens


Just get some linear springs, like Hotchkis, Roush or from Ruslow and call it a day.

 

Eibachs are a progressive coil.I think they start at 400 and go up to 800.but the corner weight of the truck is 1300+ so a 400 lbs spring is already at a disadvatage since it is now almost collapsing the coils down to where the stiffer ones are.A linear coil will do that to but if selected properly not as bad.Hotchkiss uses around 960 for there front coils and FRPP use around 1000.I use anything from 900 to over 1800 so the choise is yours.Stan
