Status Of H & R and Eibach Springs!

[Kman]

I just called Eibach and H&R, regarding the lowering springs for the G6. The Eibach springs are still undergoing R & D, with no estimated date of availabilty. For H&R, the status is the same, but I was told to a call back in about 6 weeks. The tech guy checked the shipment list for incoming springs and the G6 application was not it. The H&R springs are made in Germany and then shipped to the States. So Boys and Girls, nothing has changed.

Crap! I want to get new wheels, but I want to do the springs and the wheels and tires at the same time.

Eibach are available!! I spoke with them today. H&R are still in development.
-----------Front--------Rear
Eibach----1.5----------1.7
H&R ------1.5----------1.3

Now all we need is part numbers and pricing? And the back is lowered more than the front?

[jonnycat]

I think the H&R would look better on the coupes with the lower rear drop

[bluegtp33]

i think to even the car out?

[rpromero]

That's what I said about Eibach. I'm waiting on them to call back and explain that to me.

FWIW, the guys at the Redlineforums have been waiting for H&R springs for about a year and a half now.

They're still in R&D.

[bristol16]

i think that is just what they tell people when they have no intention of producing a product. how long does it take to make a damn spring?

[LoJac963]

I'd rather wait and try the H&R's over the Eibach!

[jerrodmann]

So would lowering our G6s help with handling? I don't know much about suspension. someone educate me.

[LoJac963]

it should help some but at the price of a comfortable ride also.

[jerrodmann]

is that all the bouncing up and down i see in town from the honda boys?

jerrod

[LoJac963]

well that is to the extreme, on the GM vehicles I've put lowering springs on it has never been that bad-just a rought ride. The dumbasses you see bouncing down the road usually just used some cheap ass coil overs or even coil overs by themselves or just heated the springs till they sagged a bit-you can never tell with those honda guys.

[jerrodmann]

I also sometimes see wheels that look like they are bent out, is that something that happens when you lower a car like ours, or when people modify stock suspension units?
