Eibach Rear Springs on CLEARANCE

[spectralen]

I read on here of a guy using the Eibach lowering springs with good results for a softer ride. I went to the Eibach website to find the exact pair on clearance . Only $58.07 with free shipping for the pair, normall
price was $220. Easy install and huge difference in ride. Not bounceing all the time, same ride heigth, more coils per spring. For the money you can't lose.

WOW, that a hell of a deal.

@iamdub?

Great deal! Just not enough drop for me.

I wondered. I see it says -2". Thought maybe softer? Mod them?

Sure! I'm looking for softer springs and MORE variables in an already drug-out project! Lemme shorten some springs! lol

BTW, I may have realized something and may be on the verge of a breakthrough. Just gotta dig more in my stash of random leftover parts. Update to follow...


BTW, that "lol" was intended more as an insane, nervous laugh.

Looks really good

More coils, softer, same drop as stock PPV. I was going to replace my original PPV rear shocks too, seeing they are all rusty looking, but they are now actually able to control the softer bounce and work how they should.

Ordered the eibachs before Xmas along with new shocks. Haven't messed with them yet. Hard to pass up at the price.

Had some cash back money in my PayPal account, couldn't resist for less than $19

If you can still get them on clearance, it’s worth it. a good difference (not huge change) on the ride. It did lower about a 1/4” - 1/2” vs. the PPV springs, but see the photo below of the difference in size, knowing the spring on the right is actually a hair lower. I replaced the front and rear struts/shocks 1st with Belltech Street Performance (better than PPV Monroe’s) then learned about these lowering springs. Wanted the Eibach front springs but very hard to find.

Need to fix the front springs some how. Still too stiff, knowing some have said the PPV has the same springs as the Civilian. Either that or the sway bars need to be changed.

Very cool. I still have mine sitting here by the desk. I have new shocks, Monroes for a stock tahoe, I believe. I hope they soften things up some. At the end of the day, it won't matter too much, my kid will be driving it.

Did you use spring compressors? I assume you have to disco the shocks, brake line bracket(s) and panhard bar. Anything else? I already disco'd the sway bar, hoping for some ride improvement, it was the same. lol.
Just basing this on previous springs I've done, non on a Tahoe though.

I installed Eibach/bilsteins on mine, it sat very nice but rode a little to soft for my liking.

I’m way behind on answering follow-up questions... sorry. Yes, you need spring compressors to remove the front Struts and springs (not needed for rears)...Can rent for free from AutoZone.

To remove Front strut and spring, you need to remove the 3 nuts at the top of the strut mount (from engine bay) and 1 large bolt from the bottom Of strut. You also need to disconnect the sway bar end-links to remove the struts/springs (this is for the fronts only).

I still need to change out my front springs as they are way too stiff. The rear Eibach springs are awesome and helped. Still have massive rattles in my suspension. The Belltech shocks aren’t that great. I heard the Billsteins are the way to go.

I know this Eibach PPV spring post is old as dirt....but does anyone have the Eibach part number for these springs or have a set for sale? Thanks
