eibach report

[Qualudia101@aol.com]

For what it's worth,here is my report of my latest add.

Well I finally had an Eibach pro kit installed, along with GYB new strut
mounts,strut boots, strut mount washer kit. Lithium Moly Grease used on all
the poly bushings. My former set up the car was way too high after I
installed the Suspension techniques,sway bars, and GYB shocks.
Measured from the street to top of the fender well F= 25",R 24.5. Ride was
also super stiff. Understeer was prevalent.

Now F= 23.250 R= 23 ride is nice,not stiff yet when you get into it stiffens
up.
I think I hear some harmonics from the springs at certain speeds or on
certain roads,that I didn't hear before. I have read many pro's and cons on
these as being too soft, however, I don't autocross or road race, so for the
street it feels pretty good to me. Understeer is much less and the car
behaves more neutral.  Plus the car looks really neat especially with the
stock wheels (am thinking I kindof like the look of these, and 195X55X14
Dunlop SP 8000's. Not sure if I like the huge wheel with the rubber band
look, especially for street driving, although I have been toying with the
possibility of SSR competitions in 15X 6.5 or 7" to get he weight down at the
expense of a slightly bigger diameter. Getting off the line feels now
somewhat softer,but that I think is just a seat of the pants feeling. Before
there was no give, pick up was immediate. Now there feels like some delay,due
to some left wheel spin off the line,and mechanical pick up.  I guess if I
was into serious drag I might have cut down my ET a tenth,but for the street
is not a consequence.

Next I am going to get a G-Pro accelerometer do some base tests then add the
new Hyper ground kit I just received, and see if I can measure any difference
in performance or HP. Probably will be tough due to conditions varying from
day to day. I don't really care if the stuff works or not,because it looks so
well made it can only add to class up the underhood look.
