A bit more noticeable when its cold out, as expected, but just wondering if anyone else hears/feels this. Just a little clunky over larger breaks in road. Rather wait and see what others here say than take it back to the shop for nothing. Cant wait till I can get a more sport based shock for the car.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit on my IS350, I dont have any noise coming from it. You might want to take it back to the shop and have them double check all the bolts and make sure the spring is sitting correctly.

like expansion joints and stuff going down the hwy is no problem but irregular larger than normal stuff at lower speeds makes some noise. shop does tons of work, good work, so im not sure if its nothing or i should take it back. install looks fine.. i dunno.

I am happy with the eibach's and have not had any issues with knocking ect. You should double check the wheel wells for rubbing with thosed big 19's and look at the exhaust mounting as well. My LMS set up had one contact point I had to insulate that knocked while going over the right kind of bump's. Good luck.

i just had eibach springs put in and there was some clunking sound coming from the back when the car would bounce a little. i dont know a lot about these things so wasnt sure what it was and the plastic guard underneath front left wheel was scratching at the slightest bumps and the tires rubbed when i turned. i took it back and they said they fixed it and i just got it back today. i think they said they had to remove a part of the fender wall on the front? on the way home, it seemed alot better, heard the clunk once or twice but it still scratches the left on left turns and bumps but doesnt do that when i right turn. at least it doesnt scratch at the slightly bump now. the rubbing is less noticeable, only when i turn hard. could it be cause im the only one in the car so it tilts a lil to the front left?? the right guard has never scratched once yet so i dunno if its slanted slightly to the left or if its just when im the only one in the car...? any help? i dont know if this is to be expected or the job wasnt done well on my car? but whatever they did do it is better than when i first got it.

Damn, all these stories keep me convinced that these shops don't know jack about putting on the right wheel/tire combo. Those guys were trying to sell me a set of wheels today as well. The bad part is you got 18" rims and they still rubbed the fender. I would think the guys at 702 could get that right.

I'm surprised at how many of you are having problems with the Eibach springs. I've had mine now for about a year and have absolutely no issues. I did get an alignment a few weeks after.

I just had my 350 sport pack lowered with the eibach pro-kit tonite. I have no issues at all, the car should have come this way with a sport package in the first place. Thanks Clubfoot.

You guys with the IS350, Which of the kits are you getting installed the 1.4/1.0 drop or the 1.0/.8 drop? I have heard of some installing the IS250RWD (1.4/1.0) on their IS350's. This maybe a reason as to why some are rubbing and some are not.
