Looks like they used the factory bump stops. Don't trip off of it they will be fine. They only really come into play when you are bottoming out your suspension. Did you go with the sportlines?

Nice man. I too have those two upgrades. And if you're referring to the creaking noise when turning the wheel at slow speeds, it may not go away. I installed my sportlines last fall and still have the creaking noise to this day.

It's more of a creaking in the front end when going over small pot holes. Almost sounds mid car.

First time lowering anything so over worrying I'm sure.

Ohh, that is the sound of two coils of the springs hitting each other when the spring compresses over bumps (primarily at low speeds). These springs are infamous for that. You should have noticed the rear springs had a black isolator in the section where the coils are close together. The front springs don't have this...leading to the noise.

Eibach sent me (for free) isolators to install myself. Piece of cake install and didn't even have to take the wheel off...just jack up the car so you can see the springs and stick it on there. You'll be able to tell where to install them because you'll see the red paint on the springs wearing from the coils hitting each other.

Did you call or email them. And I didn't see isolaters on rear either. I should be able to just see them right.

I called them. They had them shipped out the same day.

And yeah, you can clearly see the isolators. I took this photo back when I first got the springs delivered. The rears are the two middle ones. You can see the black rubber tubing that covers the springs on the bottom half.

Confirmed. Rears are there. I'll call tomorrow about the fronts.

Love the much needed low.

Weapon R intake ordered. Damn I'm broke after these last 3 weeks.

Not sure I'll have enough for my first payment come June!

And I thought you were supposed to cut the bump stops? Is this not the case on the eibach's? They were in the box after shop was done with install.


Help Plz.
I have Sportlines on my car. They came with new bump stops to replace the stock ones.
