Eibach Springs

[Bobski]

Someone posted a link for some springs going on eBay.

So i mailed the seller and was told the following.....

"They are 4 coils, no fitting instructions, as IS200 rears are multilink and unless you are quite expert they are not a DIY fit job"

Has anyone fited them in the past?....or have you left it to a garage to do?

Thanks in advance.

just like fitting any other springs........

if you dont know how........dont do it

[Bobski]

I've fitted them before on one of my old bangers...with the help of the old man and a manual.

Although i have to admit...the thought of buying a set cheap off eBay, without knowing what they have been through etc does put a little doubt in my mind......

the springs themselfs should be ok

i installed my lsportline springs which are made by eibach myself. Took about 5 hours but i got it done. Pretty ez job but time consuming. Im not sure if the US spec is300 is quit the same set up tho as ur is200's.

[Monster-Mat]

tis the same........only the engine and transmissions are different, and you have longer bumpers.......cos your cars have to be bigger than ours :D

one more thing i forgot to mention!

after installing spring yourself or by a shop, get an alignment and your Chambers adjusted about 2weeks after. This allows the springs to settle in by waiting 2 weeks and if u dont get an alignment, your "tyres" will get alignment wear (aka-your tires will go bad fast).

Hi Bobski,

If you've done 'em before, you shouldn't have any problems on your IS.

It's pretty straight forward. Infact, when you remove your old springs off the struts, the new springs are so much shorter that you don't need to use a spring compresser to get the top mounts back on. With the top mount back on, the strut leg is now quite a bit shorter, and so goes back on the car easier than it came off.

I've done mine twice now, the first time with Apex lowering springs and then again with adjustable ride hight coilovers...

If you have any problems while doing them, PM me and I'll talk you through it...

GOOD LUCK BUDDY,

[Bobski]

Thanks for that Duncan.....

If I do go for them i will let you know how i get on.

Still pondering.............i hate being so indecisive......but then again......
