For All 240SX's from 1988-1994(except convertible) and 1995-1998.

I hooked up with an Eibach distributor and got some amazing prices on Eibach springs, both Pro-Kit (street style lowering/performance springs) and Sportline (Race Springs).

If I can get at least 10 people then each kit will cost $199.95 with free shipping.

E-mail me if you are interested or need more information [email protected]

Prokit.. Free shipping?

Im in... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

What are they usually $235 + Shipping... so... were saving like $45-$50... Not a bad deal.......

Whats the price if we have more than 10?

Also... I thought the prokit was the better of the two sets?

Correct me if im wrong....

The Prokit is the better of the two for street driving... the Sportline is lower and stiffer ... better handling but a harsher ride..but pretty much puts your car on rails.

If I can get 15 people then the price drops to $180 shipped to your door... I'm still amazed at that price!

Anyone who's interested and serious send me your information so I can get an accurate head count

Thanks!

funny you mentioned that....

Anyone who picks up on the Eibach deal get's a chance to get hooked up with a full Tokico setup front and rear... No mention of prices, but the more people who buy in ..the better I can negotiate.

Hey,

I'm planning on picking up this 1997 240sx that I'm looking at, and if I get it, I will be in on the group buy, when is the due date?

Also how much does the prokit and sportline lower the car, front and rear??

Thanks,

Mike

i think i read that the prokit lowers the car 1.8" in the front and 1.6" in the rear

the sportline lowers the car in the frnt about 2.2" and in the rear about 2.1"

correct me if i'm wrong. &nbsp; oh yeah i've made up my mind i want the sportlines cuz i want that extra bit of drop....thanks

yeah the sportline has more drop, but if memory serves me correct, the prokit's springs are progressively wound, which makes a world of difference on the street.
the spotline is pretty rough, better cut your bumpstops and step to a better set of dampers too.

Ugh - lots of misinformation here. Take a look at the FAQ re: Spring rates for info on rates and amount of drop (*edit: the Pro Kit drop on there is not what is claimed - Eibach says 1.4F/1.0R; people say about 1.6/1.2 - on an s14). Common knowledge is also that the Sportlines are a little too low for the mimimal increase in rate so that you wind up on the bumpstops too much w/o short stroke shocks. Sportlines also require camber correction, unless you like buying lots of tires. They're both progressive.

i claim a 1 inch RAISE! with the prokits on a s13, and thats after 2 sets of springs that ewibach said would fix the problem.

I've talked to the supplier and we've set a deadline at 2 weeks from now (August 30). &nbsp;If that's good for everyone, let me know, or if it's too soon or too late it's easy to change.

Anyone who gets the Sportlines will also get the camber correction kit at cost because it really is necessary...like HippoSleek said... unless you really like buying tires.

Eibach sportline springs for the 99-94 240sx are available for 199.95 all day, everyday from summit's sport compact catalog. &nbsp;the prokits are 232.95. &nbsp;
And yes, the sportlines are also progressively wound, according to eibach, though personal experience can vouch that they feel like cut springs. &nbsp;
supposedly the sportlines drop it around 2", the prokit 1-1.5".
A friend of mine had prokit's on his 300zx and they didn't lower but maybe a half inch, but they did tighten up his suspension nicely and gave a good ride. &nbsp;I havent ever ridden in a 240 with them.

well... PDM racing has either the sportline or prokit set for $175.00 but they charge for shipping so we are still saving here.... although PDM does have this sweet deal

We now have 9 people who are confirmed so this buy is pretty much a sure thing. Also the pricing dropped to $194.95.

Thanks for all the great support!

If you are a real drift monkey, there is no such thing as a camber "problem". Unless you don't have enough.

apparently there is a problem if they sell a correction kit. in order to correct something their has to be a problem with it, or its broken but i'm sorry for wording my response retardedly i just dont want to have to deal with a camber correction kit.....i'd rather just put my springs in and not have to worry about anything else..

Ruf, &nbsp;by the way what exactly is a real drift monkey....cuz i have never seen a monkey drift a car...although i have to admit it would be a site.....it's just a name

I think there's 11 people now, I'm not sure because several people haven't confirmed yet but have expressed a lot of interest.

Everyone who's in if the price drops to $180 e-mail me at [email protected] and send me your contact info so I can add you to the list. &nbsp;There's something like 12-13 people now so the more people I can get the better price I can negotiate.... don't worry... inside we're all broke college students
