any updates on those Eibachs for the ASX? did they work?

 

If you are talking about the Eibachs that are sold in Europe only they should be okay for our cars. I believe RRE O.S had a set in their car couple years ago for MOD. I have a set of OEM EVO MR Eibach springs I will be testing on my O.S this week. *crossing fingers and being hopefull*

 

The biggest issue is that the Outlander Sport uses a smaller diameter rear spring into the strut towers. There is no good way to make larger diameter springs work properly although any spring manufacturer could test the spring rate of the stock set, reduce their ride height, and stiffen them up slightly and still be within range of the stock shock absorbers capabilities with the proper diameters.

As soon as I get back from my race weekend at NJMP for NARRA I'll go ahead and cut my rear springs half a coil and install the front H&R springs and see how that works out. Apparently cutting them down too far will increase stiffness beyond what the shocks can tolerate but I'll start conservative and test in stages.

Worst case I'll send out the rear H&R to a spring company and have them duplicate the spring rates with a smaller diameter replacement spring, shouldn't be rocket science.

 

Should be interesting finds across the board in the coming weeks. I did confirm that tein makes an RVR lowering spring. -1.5 all round no word if it fits the 2013 though. 2011/2012 definitely fit.


**Edit** tein model# SKE40-G1B00

 

I didn't get to put my springs on last weekend. My friend who has the shop I was going to use was busy and the shop was taken for the weekend. Hopefully sometime this week or defintely next week.

 

Where you able to try those EVO MR springs?

I just read that OEM Ralliart springs fit in the rear... however when i tried the Tein s Tech they did not. The weekend is now over but will definitely be getting under the car next weekend to try again.

Coinsidently, user @Pelka is who informed me he used OEM ralliart's in the rear and according to EVOm.net he is running H&R in front. Would love to see a side profile pic.. to see current stance.

 

Any update on this? Would be interested in purchasing.

 

I didnt get a chance last week to install them. Will try today or sometime this week. Been kinda lazy

 

Hey guys. I finally got my springs on my OS. It looks great. Rides great and handling is awesome. The eibach springs worked great all the way around. I will post pics when I get time.

 

Dude.. im so excited about this...!(No disrespect intended) id pay pal you some time just so you can post some pics.. lmao. how much did it lower? im sure there is some settling that as to be done as well so u may go lower. best news ive heard in a while congrats to you. Did the nose lower more than the rear? or is it still higher than the rear?

 

If the Eibach's were a fit, I will seriously have to talk with my peeps at Ground Control and come up big with a coilover setup!

Highly looking forward to seeing pictures! Hopefully you have some before and after shots.

 

Thats awesome! you have a link to where you purchased them? And any pics? Are you running 18" wheels still, and what is you wheel gap messuring out to be.
Thanks so much for sharing the good news!

 

DUDE I REALLY WANT TO SEE SOME PICS..... Please post the link were you buy the springs.

 

You're in Puerto Rico. I believe there is a company called AC ( not even sure what it stands for) that carries springs for the ASX that would fit for you. Issue i have is that no one wants to ship to the states. The drop is nice too.

 

I call the eibach distributor here on PR but they don' t even have a part number for the OS springs because they work directly with the US and there is a guy that sell the Eibach spring for the OS but he charges $400 + tx.
And I never heard of a company call AC. I have to do some research jajaja.

PS I'm stuck with the CAI SP1835 project. I will post what I have so far. Sorry this of topic
