Eibach Coilover Options - SEMA 2012 Coverage
There are some great options coming to us from the guys over at Eibach and we are extremely excited for them! :happyanim: We spoke with Tony Jackson, Eibach's brand manager, about the product offerings that are coming for the FRS/BRZ platform and he is expecting products to be released around the coming new year. We already know that Eibach has some great spring and sway bar options for our cars, but expect THREE great coilover options from them, as well. The Pro Street S, R1 Series, and R2 series coilovers will be systems you want to start saving your pennies for! Take a look for yourselves:coolpics: Pro Street S http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-22.jpg R1 System http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-23.jpg R2 system http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-20.jpg R2 system http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-21.jpg Stock tophats re-used for Pro Street S http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-24.jpg R1 Top hats http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-25.jpg R2 Top hats http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-26.jpg http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-71.jpg http://ft86speedfactory.com/images/sema2012-72.jpg |
I just posted G.C maybe being the best yet, but now comes Eibach.
Bilstein, hurry please. |
Ballpark on price ranges?
|
Liking the extra fluid in the reservoirs, when it gets hot(and it does) extra volume is your friend.

Hopefully more info will come out after SEMA. I'm hoping they'll be released in December, I'm probably going R2. Depends on a few things (job situation for one..). |
I wonder if Evasive will be doing an Evasive Spec R1 or R2 like they did for the S2K.

Pro Street S looks like a good alternative to KW's, any idea of spring rates?
|
Quote:
Spring rates can be custom, or off the shelf. Eibach likely knows, or at least has an idea, of the OTS spring rates but I don't think they've released them outside yet. Since it's so easy to order any rate ERS spring with the dampers you can really get whatever you want. My understanding was that Eibach would have Camber and Caster adjustments on the plates up front, but I don't see Caster. Maybe prototype or just can't see the slots under the nuts.. yeah don't go there with that statement lol |
There is one user on the board who is running these right now, there was a thread not too long ago on them. The R1s I believe. You can look up pricing for the WRX/STi versions of them and I would assume the BRZ/FR-S would be similar. The R1 is about $1750 and the R2 is about $2200. Definitely a good option.
"Jackson" on the board I'm assuming is Tony Jackson, so they are watching these forums. |

One nice thing is the bottom of the reservoir has a Schrader valve so you can not only adjust the compression via the adjuster but can change the static pressure in the reservoir. |
Quote:
And yeah, Jackson is Tony. He does monitor the forum occasionally and whenever someone sends him a thread link. He would be in this thread already I'm sure if he wasn't at SEMA instead. |

Please don't take this post the wrong way, I didn't intend for it to be negative. These look interesting though.. Always good to have more options. :D |
