EIBACH's for X coupe? negative

just called to see when they would be released and to my disbelief he responded "we will not be putting out springs for the AWD model"

looks like my only option is H & R, which I don't really want to do, but I have no choice. I did however find one of the vendors here sells JIC coils that claim to fit the X, but to my knowledge there is nothing that would fit yet, not even springs....

There is only one way to see is if someone will try to fit them, i don't see why they won't fit at all. I think when the first gen sedans AWD came out no one made springs for it, then someone put 350z springs on and it fit and then everything picked up.

didn't get his name. maybe he just didn't feel like checking? didn't seem to excited to be at work when he answered lol. let me know if you get a different response. looks like it's H & R, unless coils from ANY company come out relatively soon.

yea I hear that. I don't want to be the guinea pig though . I'd also prefer the suspension be made for the exact car.

Dude, don't worry. I'll be sure to contact them and press them hard for an accurate answer. That pretty much ruins my mod plans if Eibach doesn't make it. I'll keep you posted though

Triple X...so I bring better news...I called Eibach today to get an ETA for getting a pro kit for the X coupe and the guy said that they went to a dealership this week to see if they can get an AWD coupe and the dealership said that they will order one in. Eibach is hoping to test it sometime next week or the following week (basically whenever the AWD arrives @ the dealership). Only thing is that I've been hearing this for the past few weeks, but the tech guy did say that there's been several requests for the AWD coupe...which could potentially be good news for us X guys. We shall see...
