I finally did it.

I bought the Eibach Pro System Plus and just opened the boxes to see what I got. On the outside of the box are pictures of the components inside.

Upon examining the contents of the box I noticed that I may be missing some hardware. Stuff like the yellow bump stops and sway bar ends etc. It came with the proper bushings for the sway bars but I am curious why they would show things on the outside of the box that doesn't come with the kit.

Here is the pic on the outside of the box.



Here is a pic of what came in the kit.

I was also wondering if I need a camber kit. Has anyone who installed this kit come across this problem? Is it necesssary? Is there any other things that I should get before beginning the install?

 

hey graham, the picture outside is just a general pic of the product and not specifically for the tib. It looks like parts for a honda on the outside judging by the suspension setup.
From the pic you linked there, it looks like you got all that you need.
I personally have full race coilovers and my car is lowered more than that kit will lower your car and i have had no camber issues. I'm sure its not perfect 0 camber, but it might be veryyyy little, soo little that i wouldnt even bother with a camber kit, infact on my coilovers, i actually have it set for more negative camber at the front cause i wasnt getting as much as i wanted.

BTW how much did that kit set you back?

yea your missing the bump stops..

thats not a big deal though.. you can just slice yours in half,... or leave them as is..

 

I never got any bump stops from my struts.
They work fine.

Question, what kinda grease is in that little tube? Is it just lithium grease?

 

you will get some negative camber from lowering, but not enough that i think you will have too much. like - 1.5 front, and a little under a full degree of negative in the rear(like .8).

when you get it aligned after the springs settle, check those camber numbers. im at a whole shitload of negative camber on one corner, but i really cant see any crappy tire wear yet.

 

Not 100% sure.. but it smells and looks like it..

 

I spent $1400 tax in for the whole thing. Seemed like a pretty good price to me. What do you think?

Oh and btw... It is white lithium grease. cool.gif

 

1400 is in canadian dollars, right?

little high. tirerack has it for 1022 before shipping, and we have found a couple places on here that offer the whole kit for like 200 cheaper.

EDIT- heres the topic where we found the good price:

and i think its even cheaper if you mention you belong to a forum.

 

That is $1400 Canadian!!! Taxes and shipping included. Not USD!!

 

That's not bad cotton.

I think I paid like $1500 for mine, shipped and all, and we both work for the same company wink1.gif

I got mine like 2 years ago though.
