Yes, Rob is fast and he ran great times with the HKS Hiper Max coilvoer...but he didn't break any of his own records with them.

Haha that's true! I think it was with the HKS when he first broke into the 59s on street tire. Amazing at the time!

Happy to see more well designed platforms coming out.

Are you able to retain/use the OEM front end links?

I was just worried since with the S2K in the link above, Evasive said it's the same length as stock, well at least on the Evasive spec R2 but I believe they are identical to the normal R2.

Ironically, a friend of ours brought his S2000 in yesterday with KW V3s so we can switch him to the R2 coilovers and the bodies are the same length between the KW and Eibach coilovers.

Yes, OEM endlinks are used with the Eibach coilovers and there is enough clearance. We're looking into developing a highend spherical/adjustable replacement endlink as well.

Thanks for the info.

Btw, what is the warranty on them and do you have any rough estimate how much it cost to get them serviced?

in for info...;-)

Sorry for the late reply. They have a 1 year warranty and rebuild costs are $175 per corner.

Me too! I've been waiting what seems like forever, but then again I've only had the car a few months. I was happy with my KW V3s on my e46 M3 but I had to stick it out for these. They just seem to have so much more to offer. I can't wait.

I was torn between the KW Clubsport and the Eibach R2. There seems to be more transparency with Eibach and @Jackson, and that's why I chose the R2 over the Clubsport.

@Jackson, I read some reviews that each R2 damper gets dyno tested before they're shipped. Can you verify this?

swift996 · 02-18-2013, 10:23 PM

^ Without testing I can't say for sure, but on paper you can't beat the design/capabilities for the money. These remind me of the JRZs I should have bought for my 911.

Jackson is out of town for the rest of the week so I'm not sure he'll be logging in.

However, based on prior conversations I'm 99% sure that's a true statement.

Where does the external reservoir hose go through? Hopefully you don't have to cut a hole in the fender guards.
