Is it true that the Eibach springs will only last 15K miles until they start wearing out already? I wasn't sure if that was true so I wanted to double check on it.

I've never heard that..it takes time for the Eibachs to settle after you install them though.

I understand that it takes time to break the springs in, and to let them settle but hopefully this info on the springs is false. Eibach are the most durable springs out there, and they have to outlast stock

Springs don't wear out in 15K miles... unless they truly suck... the rest of the assembly would have to blow (struts, etc.) before the springs started to see any major wear and tear.

springs will settle down a bit, but it's normal.

springs don't wear so fast.

But it could be possible if you overload you car too much.

^^^ if you use stock shocks with lowering springs you will not damage springs, but your shock could die much faster.
