eibach cutting...pics in avatar
I had a spare set of eibach's so despite warnings, I cut aset up to see what happened. I took a full coil out of the fronts and a coil out of the back. I figured this was aggressive, but I'd try it since they were just taking space. I got a full 2.25" in the front and 2.75" in the rear. Tires are 235/19 and 275/20. I do get rubbing at extreme lock, but nothing thats a huge deal to me bcd I was going for a look as opposed to performance. The springs performed as well as the std eibachs in the corners. I have experienced zero 'darting' and the alignment is dead on to factory specs with the speedybenz.com camber adjustment bars. Ride is unchanged, maybe a little less firm.

The bottoming may require more spacers added to the spring and or a bigger snubber in the shock area. That will limit the down motion on a biggy bump. Some shock bushings can be added to try the setup and get your best bet. Woody

Like my dad said: Your big now and you have to make your own decisions, because your are also responcible for them.
Your choice. I have told you what I did. Woody
