I haven't but a few others have. Dave and Ayau could probably help you out with that.

JackSmiley · 06-10-2013, 05:23 PM

I'm going to assume my R2 set has all the updates? If anyone local wants to feel mine out you're welcome to. I'll be at the Vegas 86Expo as well.

BTW i'll probably not track my car till Scion comes out with a TSB for the direct injector issues so I wont be able to speak on track performance.

PM me your availability. No need to go fast to feel out a suspension

Waiting for videos of clutch dumps and drifts...

ayau · 06-10-2013, 10:05 PM

@Jackson, since there's a revalve, does the "update" change the way the shocks handle on the track (specifically the R2)? You mentioned that there's no sacrafice in track performance, but what exactly does that mean?

swift996 · 06-10-2013, 11:07 PM

I did mid-ohio today, the car felt great out on the track but the ride back home made me realize how difficult these are to run on the street. Hopefully the update will help correct the harshness/bounce issue but on the track...perfect! If only I could live on a track

Squishy · 06-11-2013, 01:05 AM

I agree at the limit they exhibit confidence but on the street was the only weakness I could find. Hopefully this update makes them a choice among many at the top.

Now to figure out how I am going to get the updated version after having sold off my oem struts and shocks

Update: tried calling Mark but he was busy on the phone so left a message earlier in the morning - he must be getting alot of calls.

Kmurph · 06-11-2013, 04:03 AM

hah...Well i just had my Pro street Coilovers installed over the weekend and I can see some of the complaints people are talking about. Even with the pro street setup I feel like I am feeling the bounce that everyone else is slightly complaining about. Springs feel a little more stiff obviously but it really does feel like it is constantly bouncing :/. I guess i should contact Eibach

Dave-ROR · 06-11-2013, 03:51 PM

I won't be able to send mine in for awhile. Stupid work travel

Kmurph · 06-11-2013, 03:57 PM

Do you think I could buy a new set with the changes and then I can send my old ones back for a refund. Gosh it would be such a hassle after i just put these on lol to switch out to stock suspension. Ship them back. Receive them again and then swap the suspension.
