Pro-street S kit, looks like a good quality build deal, but how about the ride? has anybody ever used them in US? Mini2 guys in UK use them. I dunno why Eibach has not made a strong name in US market.

 

what are the rated spring rates?

eibach is a pretty big name in non-mini applications, i guess.

Not bad on the price... non-adjustable, though. I do wonder what the spring rates are?

Eibach's pretty well known everywhere, IMHO - from NASCAR to F1.

 

yes, i am on it trying to get the spring rates, i e-mailed them so hopefully we can add it on the sticky next week.

 

Email Lohen. They always respond quickly and accurately.

 

i've been trying repeatedly by phone and by email for 5 months to get information on these from eibach.

i'm asking for a picture and about about linear or progressive springs, spring rate, mono or dual tube, amount of lowering, location of damping adjustment, and rebuildable or not. all they say is "they're made in germany...."

on mini2, the first install i saw was about a month ago, but the guy didn't post detailed driving impressions or any pictures of the coilovers themselves.

After the extensive search, I found on Mini2 that KW makes the shocks for Eibach and Eibach supplies KW with springs.

Interesting I understood that Koni made the dampers for the variants....

 

bump for more info??

 

This is not true anymore...

Currently ... All KW shocks are now made by Alko, a small/medium sized shock manufacturer in Germany/ Spain. I remember that KW has some shares in AlKo
I do not know who makes the KW springs, but Eibach is not only using KW designed shocks, I also noticed that they use Sachs as well for some applications.

H&R are also sometimes using KW designed/produced shocks...
