O4 Cobra with Eibach

[Ganoog]

Hi, I’ve installed Eibach Pro-Kit lowering spring on my 04 Cobra with the stock suspensions (Bilstein). Now after three weeks of driving it has lowered the car from front (but not that much) & the rear is same as before (stock level).

I’ve recheck the fixing of the springs (its OK), I still don’t get it, why only the front is lowered & the rear is same as stock.

Any ideas or suggestions, please. Is it something to do with the stock suspensions (Bilstein) or the IRS system?

Guys I really need your HELP.

Its not you, Eibach missed on this spring set. Apparently they didn't do their homework or haven't sufficiently revised their rates from the 99/01 cars.

Many Eibach users on this board have had the same issues/complaint.

You have a few options.

A) Cut 1/2 a coil off the rears (will drop ~1")
B) Return due to unsatisfactory performance (probably not, but worth a shot)
C) Sell them and buy HR Race, or Steeda.

I have these too and was dissapointed with the drop. Im going with coilovers now.

Same here. I just installed these springs in my 04 cobra yesterday and am not happy with the drop. Dosen't even feel that much stiffer. I've used these springs in a number of differant cars, 96 cobra, 87 GT, 93 Civic, 90 CRX, and was very happy with them.
Eibach really dropped the ball on this application. I'll be looking into H&Rs.
