Eibach Pro-Kit

[tom @ eas]

This Picture made my decision a lot easier. Going with the Eibach springs over the UPP that I had on order.

Do you know if this car had wheel spacers?

No spacers on that picture, but its recommended. We keep them in stock also.

@tom @ eas do you know if the springs will fit Model Y standard range?

Springs will fit Long Range.

I'm not sure why Eibach does not list them as being compatible as suspension is identical between SR/LR and about .5" lower on Performance.

Agreed, bumping the wheels out 15-20mm creates a much more aggressive look. Some won't care, but from anything other than a perpendicular side view of the MY, my eyes are always drawn to the sunken wheels. I have 20mm spacers front and rear on my LR with Uberturbines with the factory tire sizes.

 

[tom @ eas]

Agree. Wheel spacing becomes more noticeable to the eye after the car is lowered and gives a much more finished look.

Thanks, that’s what I thought as well. I will reach out to Eibach and find out, I highly doubt they will fit like you said they share the same suspension as LR.

So to the people that have these springs and a long range. How happy are you with the purchase hoew is the ride? Does it handle better or is this purely cosmetic. Also is your long range lower than a stock performance. It looks like it should be about the same height.

From my perspective, ride quality is subjective. I noticed little to no difference between the Eibach setup and the stock springs on my LR. I'm satisfied with the ride quality, but I'm sure others will have varying opinions. I took measurements and compared my lowered LR to MYP pictures/specs that I found on the forums and posted it here. It ended up somewhere around 3/4" lower than a factory MYP.

Any time you can get a lowering spring to provide a stock-type ride would be a win in my book. Lots of cheap aftermarket options on other models are really stiff, making the vehicle unpleasant to drive.

I would agree that there was not a huge difference, but the ride felt firmer (which to me was better). For me, it was more about a better appearance and I love the way it looks. I would suggest considering spacers. I went with 18 and am happy.

No spacers needed 20x10.5 squared set up. Need mud flaps though.

stance 20x10.5 gunmetal SF07 45 offset. 24 lbs.
thank You Lou and Jason for figment #getyourwheels.com.

You might want to share the offset, fitment doesn’t mean much without it

20x9 +15 (255/45/20)
20x10.5 +30 (275/40/20)

No rubbing with the springs. Ride is great. Wife approved.

Anyone have clearance/scraping issues from lowering? Had eibachs on my model 3 that I loved but would occasionally scrape/hit high center in parking lot entrance/exits in hilly downtown LA areas. Ive had some really low cars in the past so I know how to angle properly.

 

[Mattemsmy]

I think the model y is a inch higher than the model 3. So with the springs we should be near stock model 3 height.

Some parking garages are pretty aggressive and will even scrape with stock suspension setups.

Is it just me or do the LRs in this thread sit a bit higher up front than the MYPs posted with the same springs ? (There’s always a chance I’m losing it)

LR with Eibach sits lower than Stock Performance.

I think they look about the same. If someone with a MYP wants to post their fender to ground measurements, they can compare them to mine included here.

Anyone have alignment numbers after the springs have settled they could post?

Also for those that are using spacers and the springs, how out of spec is the camber.

I’ve seen some one’s sheet where everything was able to be aligned within spec without rear camber arms. Can anyone confirm? Thanks all

Shouldn't need camber arms for springs only.
