I've been rubbing in the rear even with the fender liner trimmed when I hit on some large dips or bumps at high speed, so I'm going up to raise it up to 26.75" rear and leave the front alone until I test it out.

My only worry about a post like this is 95% of the people on here have coupe's vs sedans....and my worry is true...All thats posted is coupes. How about we have 2 threads, one for each model.

I know i have been looking for springs for my sedan and really there isn't any clean info on whats needed and the info and maybe pics on teh cars for each spring...

Sedan guys are not excluded, you are welcome to post up your sedan specs to help out all sedan owners. I don't see why you'd need a separate thread because you can easily state whether you have sedan or coupe, but if you want to start a separate sedan thread be my guest.

def a good, useful thread. Thanks J

I have had eibachs since around when they first came out for our car, will measure and post later. Thinking about getting some Tanabe coilvoers though. n00b when it comes to coiliovers so will have them installed, not sure how or what to set the initial height to.

Seems somewhere in the mid to upper 26" range is good. Hate the stock look where the front is so high up, and just want to avoid that. Question though....

ANYONE know the approx stock ride height? i took before and after pics with eibachs and measured but now don't rmbr the stock height and didnt post that. I would guess something like 28" front and 27.5" rear?

Thank you.

Amended my setup info int he first post.
^^^lol!! Not everyone has man hands so...

Coupe
Eibach Pro Kit
Front = 26.5 inches Rear = 26 5/8 inches (to be exact)

Drop is pretty even side to side, varies by 1/8-1/4 inch some days depending on weight in the car, fuel, tire pressure, etc.

MyG37 - philter25's Album: Eibach Springs

Update:

Suspension: Tanabe NF210 front / Eibach Prokit rear
Ride Height: 27 1/8 front and rear.
Tire / Wheel: Stock and stock

No rubbing at all. I wanted a dead even fender gap and my eibach's were almost at 26.5 in the front and 27.25 in the rear, so 3/4 of an inch started to bother me so I put the tanabe fronts on. Dead perfect.

I also like the stock wheels and didnt like the tucked in look of the Eibach fronts.

Correct. My measurements were exactly that.

Exact coupe stock ride height has been added to the first post (taken from the '08 FSM).
