If you have the time do it yourself. Rent a spring compressor tool, should not be hard since you own a 2012 car.

Out of curiosity, are they even compatible with the magnetic ride control? I know a year or so ago, d3 was the only company making that claim. And what effect, if any, do they have on the warranty for those "shocks"?

I also highly doubt a built race car is using off the shelf spring kits. They might be made by the same company but they are probally custom designed and I highly doublt progressive.

Just want to lower the car a bit- I don't need an aggressive drop, nor do I need an advanced coil-over system. I've used Eibach Pro kits on several of the cars I've owned and been happy each and every time.
Regarding the magnetic shocks- I presume it doesn't affect it (adversely) as there are a ton of guys running both these and the D3s.

I love how people question your purchase but nobody actually answers your question on where to get them installed. I recommend R/T Tuning in Lansdale, PA. They are a very good shop when it comes to alignment, suspension tuning, corner balancing, etc. etc.

Btw, thank you. I have no idea how this turned into a "trash eibach springs" thread.

I drove 3 hrs to get a tune. Plenty of tuners closer in Philly but I'd rather drive farther knowing it's getting done right than take a chance on someone else just because they're closer. I'll be hitting them up for an alignment and corner balance soon. How anyone can trash Eibach i dunno. Few aftermarket companies R&D and manufacture in-house anymore.

F.C Kerbeck is 15 minutes from Woodbury. Holman add another 5-10 minutes. Could be done at either place.

Eibach makes racing springs as well as street off the shelf springs, whether or not they are custom race-spring, I will have to look next season. |
