Why doesnt Eibach make springs for the 208 AMG???

DANDADA_CLK55 · 09-12-2005, 05:11 PM

I was asking becasue I wanted to get my car dropped, but I wanted to go with some Eibach springs...The only problem is that thy only make the for the 430. Would I be able to go with the 430 springs on my car? or are the H&R springs my only option...Also, which springs are softer? (I wanted to have my ride as close to stock as possible)

Thanks,
Steve

Get H&R,.,.,.

I always think H&R has better quaility comparing to Eibach.

No!!!!!! 430 spring dont' fits on AMGs

and btw., most of your drop come from the spring pad....!!! the spring only give you a very minimum drop..

As for the shocks,. you will be okay for a while with the stock bilsten shocks on the AMGs. if yours has pretty low miles

Not exactly, eibach has always been closer to OEM ride, H&R is more agressive, usually lower and stiffer than OEM. I don't know what you mean by better quality, but if you visit bimmer forums, h&r spings are the only springs that cracks and breaks while autoX.

IIRC I think Brabus springs are made by Eibach, read this a long time ago.

Most folks use coil overs when they track their BMW's.H&R's are the most popular springs used on dropped BMW's.Eibach's sux on BMW's IMOP.Eibach's are too soft and give the car an unstagle and jiggly ride when pushed to the limits.

If you want the stock feeling go with Euro spec springs. A few member have them on their cars. I would link you, but I'm too lazy.

I just ordered the H&R springs...I'll let you guys know what I think, and post pix after they are installed...

H&R sure has better quality!...
