Sorry for all the Q's. I'm just trying to get an idea of your ride height to where you're saying the springs do not flop around in there.

The front is almost exactly a 1 inch gap and the rear is slightly less then 1.5 inches gap

Anyone else have more reviews of their updated R2 coilovers?

I would assume most people are still waiting to get theirs back from Eibach. I wonder if there's anyone that purchased new ones after the update was made.

My car is ~1,500 miles away sitting on the original R2s.. so nothing here..

I might get mine valved differently. Not sure yet. I also need to fix the clutch in my other car so I can drive that if I don't feel like reinstalling the stock gear onto the BRZ...

I was thinking about getting them revavled differntly as well but not sure if eibach will cover that as part of their warranty. How exactly do you specify valving?

RYU · 06-18-2013, 07:28 PM

Is there anyone here that owns the R1s?

I can't recall who else had it but I thought there was at least one other owner.

Waiting to get mine picked up for the update. So I can't add anything until I am done with the process.

I've got a track day on the 29th, I'm hoping to pull them off and send them back after.

It's me. If you want feedback on the rebuild wait another week or so since mine just got to eibach today.

What are you guys going to revalve it to? i was talking to Mike about revalving before too.

I have the R1's. I thought the street ride was a little off for $2k coils, but I chalked it up to possibly just being too low.

Pretty disappointed I'll have to go through the hassle of getting someone to take them off, put the stock suspension back on, send them back, etc.

At least they are standing behind the product and making the updates needed. I know its a pain to have to take them off but its not that bad just to swap the whole assemblies over.

Yea its definitely nice to have them stand behind their product, just a major inconvenience and a disappointment. This is what I thought all of the extra R&D time would prevent. I just dont have a lot of time as im sure most of us can relate to lol.

What's the turnaround time usually for the update? Wondering if I'll get them back before the next event.
