Eibach MultiPro R2 Coilover Track Review - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After thinking about this some more, and talking to Eibach, I've fine with the travel these have. There shouldn't be any issues and the other options are around the same anyways.

Those posts I made sound more negative than they should have. Sorry about any concern that might have caused, it wasn't intended nor based on any actual evidence of an issue.

Hopefully I'll be back to my cheerful, data driven mind soon enough lol

No, too much job uncertainty. Not enough beer.

Just haven't been in a great mindset these last few weeks.

If you don't mind me asking, who did you you speak to from Eibach? I wonder if the people who we talk to are the actual engineers of the coilovers.

The last time I talked with someone from Eibach, I was transferred to a more "technical" person to talk about spring rates. He was able to pull the damper travel rate off the computer pretty easily.

Mark, Tanner and Jared are the guys to talk to in sales for any questions. They're not the engineers but have access to most of the technical aspects. Also, all 4 of us have the R2 coilovers on our personal track cars and have a lot of experience playing with these.

I made the mistake of giving @Dave-ROR my email address and now he doesn't leave me alone.

Just installed mine. I'll have to raise the rear since its slammed lol.

Btw does the bolt/nut direction matter? I noticed in the front there's only room for them to go one way.

Yes, it matters. The bolt aims toward the front of the car (nut is on the left side when looking straight at the wheel rotor).

If you have the factory top bolt, it can only go in one way (the factory way). I have the OEM crash bolts at the top to get additional camber at the wheel hub. It's the ideal way to gain negative camber without affecting the coilover geometry/angle.

ayau · 04-29-2013, 10:55 PM

Since most people will keep the car at stock or slightly lower ride height, why do the coilover threads go so high? At once inch lower than stock ride height, I'm at about the bottom 75% of the total threads.
