Eibach Multi Pro users, looking for pics.

Looking for pictures of Eibach Multi Pro coilovers installed and what your ride height is.

Something like these:




Thanks.

Are you by any chance working for Eibach, if so did they come up with a fix for the weak front endlink tab yet.

I have some pics. Ride height is crazy low because of the iron block up front. You know you've got a beast motor when you need new springs

With your setup I would run 300lb or 325lb front spring and you can run 600lbs or 650lbs R spring. That's what I had on my R1s. The stock 225F and 450R is way too soft. My car actually rolled more with the stock R1s vs stock suspension with BMR 1" springs.

For AutoX or circuit I would run that stiff of a spring, but I will need a setup for the fastest weight transfer possible for the strip. So I think for now I'll go to a 350 up front and stick with the 450 for the rear.

2SS, do you really drive it that low??? What's the measurement from the lip of the rim to the fender? I'm going to guess ~25 inches.

I've got a Maggie too and I'm running a 325# spring up front and 475 rear. I'm thinking about going to a 500 or 525 in the back; 600+ seems awfully stiff.

Anyone else have any pics of Eibach coilovers installed?

No I don't drive it like that, but I don't have to worry about driving it either. I trailer is to the strip and back, not really a street car anymore. I think there are very few of us running the multipro R2

For track use 650lb is bearly good enough. The car still rolls and at setting #6 out of 10. I actually have the H&R street coilover in the rear now with LSR competition spring and like it better. The Eibach R1s seem too soft still, maybe the R2s are stiffer.

Could very well be, maybe with the external reservoirs it helps keep it together a bit more, who knows.

I thought you were trying to sell those?

We are talking about the street here. On the street, I'm finding the 475 in the back might be a little soft, but not by much. I'm just getting started getting them dialed. Why didn't you have the R1's re-valved?
