Eibach Coilover Options - SEMA 2012 Coverage - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FT-86 SpeedFactory · 10-31-2012, 02:08 AM

There are some great options coming to us from the guys over at Eibach and we are extremely excited for them!

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

Pro Street S

R1 System

R2 system

Stock tophats re-used for Pro Street S

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.

I'd expect pricing to be about the same as those same lines for other vehicles. For an STI a quick search shows that as ~$1,850 for the R1s, ~$2,300 for the R2s. Pro Street S I'd guesstimate around ~$1,500.

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?

KW V3's are closest to the Multi Pro R2s in terms of adjustability (2 way dampers). The Multi Pro R2s add remote res on all corners (well remote/external) and the top hats.

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.

External reservoirs are for nitrogen, not fluid. In a monotube shock like these, the bottom of shocks use gas, not fluid. Of course using an external reservoir does gain you more fluid and shock travel.

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.

There are two actually, one FRS and one BRZ, although I'm not 100% sure if the BRZ guy is on the forums or not.

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.

Gases, plasmas, and liquids are all fluids.

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.

I realize that, I should have said oil. I don't think the OP meant it as a gas however.
