Fa sho bro. Use the beefier ones. And check them every now and again.

Currently there is no 'end-date'. I would really suggest getting in on one of the 4 sets left though. Once those are gone, I foresee a long backorder on these again.

i hope there are still some left by the end of december!





this is the out of the box height of the megan coilovers installed on my car. took about 4 hours to install with a buddy. front brake lines didnt mount up so i used stainless steel zipties. the rears mount up perfectly however smile.gif wouldve been faster if the old bolts and nuts werent so stubborn >:( its hard to tell cause its night time how low it got. but basically before there was a 4 finger wheel gap. and now i cant even put my finger in. the rear was 2 1/2 finger gap, and now i cant put my finger in there either. damper adjustment to 26. pretty stiff already, but i LOVELOVELOVE the handling now smile.gif i feel MUCH safer taking corners and much more confident.

+100000!! Woooo!! Nothing like the feeling after the install of these. Makes the car feel like a whole new beast!! For those wondering how LOW these can go, just check those pics out and that's before any adjustments!! They can go plenty higher too of course!! Earlier in the thread you can see the pics I posted of the black Celica with 17" wheels sitting a bit higher.

Looks awesome! You could even raise the rear up a bit and still look really nice!

We went for 2 sets on the black Celica pictured in this thread. It worked like a charm and gave just enough adjustment for the height and wheels we used.
I meant to get pics a long time ago! Sorry! I will try to get this done asap!

This video is for a Mustang, but it's the same process for ours. Same camber bolts too.

Just a FYI on the camber bolts. If you go to pepboys, ask them for a camber kit, they have one. Might not be as nice as the eibach's, but I don't recall them being very expensive... Used them on them on my car and it worked out pretty well..car tracks straight and tread wear looks good so far. (needed two kits, 4 bolts)

I can second that. They sell a kit that goes farther than the Eibach ones (+2/-2 vs Eibach's +1.5/-1.5) and they sell them for $17 I think.

^in that image right there you have your camber bolt washer with the large tab pointing inwards..according to the video above it says that gives it moar negative camber..i have too much negative camber and i want it to be more positive..so i would be directing the large tab towards the wheel correct?..
