Eibach Lowering Spring Development Opportunity

[MIGZ]

Anyone in the SoCal area interested in helping Eibach to develop a lowering spring for the Emira?

Currently the Emira is not a car on their list, but I called and confirmed that If there is interest they can develop a lowering spring. They need a car for a few days and once done you will receive a free set of lowering springs. To start the process, just have to fill out the form in the link below.

Damn, wish I were down there!

Somebody do this! It's for the good of the community.

I wish I were on the west coast, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I'm actually want to install a suspension lift in my emira because LA has so many potholes, dips, and speed bumps, a nightmare from my front end

I know a member has already submitted the form. Would not hurt to get a few people up call and show there is demand for springs.

Not sure if the proposal is to promote Eibach to make shorter springs for the Emira, but if so, what is the envisioned advantage versus the current lowering solution of the GRP sleeves? Is it cost, weight saving, further height reduction, ride dynamics/ride quality, a combination of these, or is it something else? I would imagine that there ought to be convincing upsides to go for shorter springs in order to forgo the sleeves' virtue of adjustibility.

You could combine a new spring with sleeves and have the adjustability of a budget coilover.

I see the need back in the 90's when I had my MR2 Turbo to put Eibach's and bigger rims to fill the gap. I just don't see the need for me now. If I did, they could have my car for a month and I wouldn't care.

The Emira has the modern day equivalent of the MR2. Car looks so much better just a little lower.

In all reality not all modification are for everyone. What I like others may not and what others like I may not. That’s the beauty in it.

No arguments there, to each their own. Back in the day, I dumped my Cressida, MR2 Turbo, Toyota mini truck, Corvette, and NSX. Maybe I am now just to old.

Understood. It makes sense for those seeking a lower height than the GRP sleeves currently allow. Thanks.
