Eibach Multi-Pro R2

I'm sick and tired of shitty suspension.

I have tried everything from KW, HKS, Tanabe, Megan, BC, Buddy clubs, and AST.

I'm thinking about getting the Eibach Multi-Pro R2 Double adjustable suspension developed for the s13 and s14.

Anyone interested?

It's a serious suspension so it's going to have a serious price.

It's not going to be some piece of shit megan, godspeed, raceland bullshit. These are real double adjustables for proper race cars, drift cars, street cars and drivers that want to bring out the overall most performance they can from their chassis/suspension.

I'm going to estimate the pricing in the 2-3k range.

Thanks,
Mike

what KW did you try, i've read nothing but good reviews and time improvements from the clubsports which are kinda in that price range the eibachs are. If you have the $$$ motons would be nice and there was someone on NRR selling a set a few weeks ago.

Variant 3, and Clubsports.

They are both twin tube shocks.

Valving is good, but most of them are undersprung and they don't come with top hats.

They are very generic shocks and are basically a 2 way version of a koni yellow with whatever springs on them.

I've also heard from many direct sources there are quality issues with KW springs.

So get some different springs and top hats of your choice. One of the reasons for buying coilovers is the fact that you can swap out springs for your preferred spring rate/brand. Why do you think so many spring manufacturers make springs in different heights, diamaters, and spring rates? Companies like Swift and Eibach make springs for people to be able to tune their coilovers to their preferred tastes.

The point of putting these into production is not because there isn't already a choice out there, but to have something better...

The KW is decent for street and light track use, but if you can get something for only a little bit more that has a PROVEN R&D'ed set of coil overs for track/street use, why not have something you can get out of the box?

The Eibachs come with full monotube builds, and customized spring rates, heights and external reservoirs.

Those cantilever setups are for show cars and idiots.

Now, I don't mean to doubt you but if you have tried "have tried everything" from your list, then you'd have easily 8 to 10 grand spent on coilovers over the years...I find that that hard to believe that you were able to piss that much cash away without doing research or asking a pro.


If you want a real-deal setup, go with a Koni insert and custom housings like a few of us have...with that said I'm unsure how the AST's weren't up to your needs....

The AST 4150's that I am currently running on my s14 are now blowing, not up to my reliability standards. I have also worked with many other BMW/German cars that have had similar degradation issues with the shocks.

I am a driving instructor for many on track organizations and have had the chance to drive different types of setups and while I personally own a KW competition set and AST 4150, I want something different and I want to see if there is a market for it.

Did you ever see what the cost of this setup would be or the amount of people needed to make them? I am looking for a setup to replace my ohlins and these look promising. Plus based on the prices for other cars it should be reasonable.

What makes you think that this kit would be better than anything else you've tried, or better than the Koni/GC setup?
