Might not be such a bad thing... stock rates are quite a bit softer than that still (fronts at least), and it doesn't feel soft stock. I don't think this car needs overly stiff springs, just slightly stiffer seems to work very well unless you're on R compound slicks.

Anybody have a source for these? I can get them from japan parts for about $1300. I'm thinking about these and the Whiteline adjustable sway bars, set the rear to medium and front to soft to start?

These look like shorter travel too, might be a bad thing with the softer springs.

Spring rates are a bit wonky for the motion ratios at play. Would want at least an even rear spring rate with the front.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but has anyone installed these or tried them out yet? Very limited information or review on them. Not even limited across the FR-S boards, but all boards. EVO, 370Z, etc.

I like the look, I wish the Eibachs were coated in black. I'm not a fan of chrome.

Yeah, but it feels more like no one has tried them. I'm sure if they were bad, there would be some negative reviews out there for sure.

still no reviews for these coilovers? Blitz now has a damping adjuster they call "DSC Four" akin to the Teid EDFC. Looks interesting

Hey, is anyone running these on track? Thinking about buying this set, would be great to hear some feedback from actual users.
P.S. I know rear is quite soft. |
