WTB: Eibach Lowering Springs

[ronniej]

I need to buy the Eibach Pro Kit for a '94 Viper. They're discontinued through Eibach and I can't find them in stock anywhere. I have some set of 19/20" CCW's coming in and need to lower the car. If anyone has any leads to where I can find some, please let my know via pm or post here. Thanks for any info.

I have a set here. I have them on the car right now but after I put the Koni's back on I would be willing to part with them. It will be the end of April or start of May.

If they're on your 2000 ACR, they won't fit on the GEN 1. I don't know what the difference is, but they have different part numbers. I'm needing some pretty bad now since I put my new wheels on.

Did you try Parts Rack? I have also found them by searching the internet.

Yes sir,
I emailed JonB and he's the one that informed me that they were discontinued through Eibach. I've been looking and calling everywhere without any luck.

Thanks for the link I tried calling their 1-800 number but got nothing more than an operator telling me to check their website. So, I went ahead and ordered a set and hope they actually have some in stock. Thanks again!

Great post. I am also looking for eibachs - but for my 92 (carry over 93) Viper. I believe it was a different part number? Anybody have any info or the correct part number? Thanks.

 

[ronniej]

Well, just got the email stating they are discontinued and my credit card has been credited. Any other leads are greatly appreciated. Someone has to have a set laying around.

You guys that are lowering your snakes, Do you have to align them after? How would you get them on a alignment machine being so low?

I got mine aligned after Eibach. Look for a shop that has drive up machine - pit under garage.

How do you like it being lowered, handleing etc?
How low did you go?

I like it but now I wish it were lower. Alignment didn't make a huge diff but just knowing that tires will wear evenly is a good assurance... It dropped about 1". If you want lower, get the spring caps for a total of little under 2" - which may lead to more scrapping etc

 

[ronniej]

Ok, I just ordered the lowering caps. No luck with eibach springs though. Has anyone had any experience with Intrax lowering springs? Here's a link to the eBay auctions.

Based on the website, they seem to be all about looks and not performance - see the quote form their website below. This may or may not suit your driving needs.

(If you're driving to work on a racetrack, "Sport" or "Race" springs from other brands may be for you. INTRAX progressive springs provide high performance looks and comfortable ride quality.)

[sbkim]

I presume intrax is prob no different than Eibach. Both are prob more for looks than signficant improvement is peformance.

 

[Un'sidepiper]

sbkim - You may be right but based on Eibach's website they boast alot about race proven applications for all types of auto racing. Not all springs are the same, that is why people upgrade. A lot of vipers ride on Eibachs...

I have no experience with either, just going by what the websites say...
