Teins are great for lighter weight cars, imports mainly, I'm holding out for the eibachs as well, I have Teins on my Lancer Sportback, great springs, I've had both coilsovers from them and springs on the Lancer, I find the springs a nicer ride.

RE: Eibach Springs
 

welll it's official, I'm now going LOW, just picked up my springs this morning on my way to work. Eibach confirmed that the same springs would fit SE/SXT/RT and SRT8.



Product number is : EIB-289 5140

If all goes well I should be working in the car this weekend with the intake, springs, fuel door, and pedals. Hopefully my rear bumper fascia will be in as well to get the exhaust system done. It's like Xmas came early.

RE: Eibach Springs
 

Did you get your spings installed yet?
How much drop?
Before and after pics?

RE: Eibach Springs
 

sorry, no I haven't installed them yet, the car has been in and out of the dealership for the misfore issue, but they are in the trunk ready to go on, can't wait.

RE: Eibach Springs
 

When I go to Eibach's website and put in 2009 Challenger R/T, it comes up with two choices:
With or without "load leveling rear damper".
I was not aware of any such critter on my car.
Anybody have more info on this?

RE: Eibach Springs
 

I just ordered the Eibach springs, part # 2895.140, yesterday from Hop Up Racing and today I got this e-mail from them:

Does your car have the "Nivomat" shocks? You can tell my looking at the shock. If the diameter of the shock gets bigger as you follow it up then you do. Eibach says some cars are equipped with this shock. Usually the 6sp models. If you do have this shock then you will need to also buy the Eibach shocks for these springs to work. If you have the standard shock (diameter stays constant) then these will work without buying the Eibach shocks,

I figured out that they're talking about the rear shocks. I've got the RT with Auto and I've checked, mine are the same diameter top to bottom. So now I'm just waiting for them to get here. I'll take before and after pictures and let you know how they ride.

18forever, will you install this kit yourself? If so interested in what was involved.

RE: Eibach Springs
 

I'll be doing it myself. It looks pretty straight forward, just have to yank the front struts and swap the springs and replace the back springs. I've got a shop so having the tools is no problem. They said that they'll be shipping the springs out this week so hopefully by next week I'll have them and get it done. I'll take some pictures as I do it for others to see whats involved.

RE: Eibach Springs
 

Make sure you post pics, CC. I want to see how the car looks when you're done.

RE: Eibach Springs
 

I actually sent back my Eibachs and purchased the SRT8 front and rear springs, keeps the parts OEm, and warranty and they are a bit lower then Eibachs, but yes I'll post pics, I get them installed on Friday

Got The Eibachs Installed
 

Well I finially got the spings yesterday and got them installed today. Took about 4 hours for the whole project, little learning curve in there. The fronts were easy and only took about an hour for both. Just drop the struts and replace the springs. Dodge gave plenty of room for this, really thought ahead for maintenance. The backs were trickier. With the hub hanging down I installed the sprng compressor then used a trans jack to raise the hub and tightened the compressor as the spring compressed. Once I got to the point of lifting the car off the hoist then I just got in there with a wrench and tightened until I couldn't. Lowered the jack and still had to use a pry bar to get the spring clear of the seat, then it just came right out. Next I unbolted the lower spring perch from the frame side and used the jack to lower it until the new spring went in. Lined it up and jacked it back up into place and bolted everything down. I love the hieght now and yes the springs are a touch stiffer but there still new, should soften with time. Took if to the dealer to have them check the alignment and they said it was still on the mark, didn't charge me anything for the check up. Here are the before and after pics.

Have you noticed any performance gains? I know if I drop mine it will look better but I'm worried about the drop affecting my launch at the strip.

Front Suspension question
 

Whenever I make a sharp right or left turn I hear a small popping sound coming from the front where I belive it is the suspension. Going to take it to the dealership Monday. Has anyone had any problems simuliar to mine?

What did these run you? I would be interested also to see what someone would charge to install them.
