I notice a lot of people swapping the eibach out.
What do you not like?
Wondering because I have a set I was going to throw on mine..

Search the forum. There is lots of info regarding the Eibach rear springs being too soft. I know first hand, as I have them in my 850. The fronts are good, go with a set of CSI rear springs.

I believe you have H&R rear springs confused with EIBACH. I have EIBACH on all four corners, and although it isn't a "soft" ride (it's more like a C5 Corvette), the rears aren't really soft.

I have Eibach rear springs and my car is definitely too soft in the rear. I think it is M6bigdog who posted a spreadsheet of spring rates, and the Eibach front seem to align best with the CSI rears. I know you have forgotten more about 8s than I will ever know, just quoting my personal experience and what I have read. I really need to install my CSI rears to know for sure.

I have mostly heard about the h&r rears as well.
Although your your opinion is also good to consider.
I thought I heard people saying eibach will be stiffer.

Are you running bilstiens on the rear? Or stock shocks?

[72tpik5]

I am running stock EDC.

You find auraptors list in that thread. It seems that a good match with eibach fronts would indeed be Csi rears.

Can someone say how much drop does the Csi rear springs give compared to stock oem springs or eibach rears??
