Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

[Tam Ton]

Hi Big Blue , So you have to redo the whole alignment for correct driving?

 

[Big Blue]

A front end alignment is recommended by Eibach and whenever you do a spring swap on any vehicle. I posted their Alignment specs early in this thread close to the beginning.

Post #18 page 2. It also shows the original spring rate of 583 which they lowered to around 544 early on.

Here is the cut and paste version.


TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FRONT:
OE rate: 93 N/mm (533 lbs/in)
PRO-LIFT-KIT rate: 102 N/mm (583 lbs/in)
Bump-stop: OE
Damper: OE
Tubing: N/A
OE hub center to fender: 608 mm
PRO-LIFT-KIT hub center to fender: 672 mm

OE Camber = -0.9 -0.7deg (+/-0.1 deg)
PRO-LIFT-KIT Camber = -0.4 deg
OE Toe = 0 - 0.2 deg (+/-0.10 deg)
PRO-LIFT-KIT Toe = 0.1 deg

Did the install at home this weekend. Hardest part was the three 18mm nuts on the right hand side shock top hat, very little room. Interestingly, camber came out exactly -0.4 deg with no adjustment. Toe in had changed to 0.4 deg and required adjusting back down to 0.1 deg. Headlights were way high and had to be lowered back to spec. Currently sitting 0.1 deg nose high on 2019 with factory rear leafs. Drove a bit today, initial impression...Ride is slightly firmer (less lean around corners) but more compliant (absorbs speed bump on my street better) , perhaps it is due to more travel in the lightly damped portion of the internal bypass. Very happy so far with this mod. Will assess more if I get out to the desert this weekend.

Keep us posted on how you like them. Also any picture?

Naked live pic and installed spring pic (springs painted black as the silver just didn’t suit my taste)

Nice touch on the black paint. Hate the silver.

This thread has been going over one year strong I believe haha. I ordered my Eibachs today. Should have them installed in about a week. Here is a BEFORE photo.
