What do you like about them?

The adjustability features, quality of components used, the fact that Eibach shock-dynos every one before they ship. Eibach is a top notch company and I highly recommend their products

interesting you think that...

There are multiple coilover vendors who make top notch products, Im not brand loyal - Ive just had good results with them. The last non FRS we put them on was an 800hp C6 Vette. They worked great once we got them dialed in.

What exactly was your process for dialing them in? How is comparing a car with leaf springs in any way valid versus a FR-S?

Like all products new to the public, everyone will have their own opinions. It is no surprise that the R1 and R2's have been successful in import and domestic scenes for the last several years.

Keep in mind, this kit has been sold to several people with dedicated track FR-S builds.

A proper coilover setup requires at least a few weeks to dial in. Preload, corner-weight, alignment, with many tweaks in between.

The reason why the R1 and R2's coming with various adjustments is to accommodate different drivers and their unique setups.

A $10,000 Moton coilover kit will not be perfect right out of the box.

And how do leaf springs make a difference?

A more important question (which I think was Mike's point) is, just because a product is good for X car, doesn't automatically mean it will be good for Y car.

And no, that's not a reference to the Eibach's, it's a general statement. The point is that Company Z might have put a ton of R&D into the product for car X, but very little for car Y, or vice versa.

It's really just valid to compare products x, y and z for this specific chassis IMO.

Eibach does dyno their dampers, every one of them. I have my dyno sheets because they do so.

I do think with the rates that I'm running that they need more rebound, but I haven't tracked them yet so I still have no current opinion of them. And if it is, I'll get them revalved, it's not a big deal.

For you guys getting stiffer springs, are you guys just going with what you feel, think, or using a wheel/spring rate calculator?

Feel. I don't do math.

Well feel and laptimes if I every get the car back on track.. I've been wanting to take the Type-R out to the track again lately.

Cool. I'll probably have to dial them in and find out if I want to mess with spring rates.

Btw, does changing spring rates effect the damping? I always thought one effects the other and manufacturers always have that in mind.
