Re:Re:Re:Eibach 25mm pro lift springs

Is anyone running these?

On a German Jimny forum quite a few are. They provide 25mm lift and don't require any other changes. The members there report a vast improvement in comfort and handling.

Tempted to get a set myself. Has anyone here used them?

Member sniper is running Eibach springs

I struggle to believe just a spring swap radically alters ride AND handling. I can see them partially impacting one or the other however.

I can't comment on how they bode fitted to the Jimny, although I can vouch for eibach's quality having fitted them to a previous car. Eibach and H&R are probably two of the finest quality suspension (spring) manufactures out there.

I'm sure fitted as an OE replacement, they'd surpass the quality of the OE springs. But as an off-road improvement, I don't think alone they'd make a night and day transformation. Coupled with a good quality OE length shock like trail master, Bilstein, AVO etc you've got the makings of a quality set up.

I bought my car with 72k on it and the suspension was very tired. Having modified a few cars, I bought quality dampers (AVO adjustables) and standard springs (KYB). They made a massive improvement but I knew that there was more to be had.

Changing to Eibach pro lift +30mm was a massive improvement over the KYB, much more progressive and less bouncy, got rid of the skittish behaviour over fast bumps. KYB are a quality OE spring and supply many Jap manufacturers.

Eibach are just at the top of the tree, super quality and fantastic consistent performance. They supply many motorsport teams from rally to touring car.

300bhpton don't struggle with it, come and drive my car, once it is rolling, it can keep with most hot hatchbacks through tight & twisty B roads.
I recently raced a mate in his RangeRover Sport with four times my horse power, he could not get past me and he has got a 4k suspension package on his car...It's an absolute go-cart and the springs are a big part of it, if you don't know, you just don't know....

I am also happy to follow big tyre cars with massive lifts, all over the Lakes and Peaks on tough lanes, with no problems....

I run the springs with 15mm SuperPro seats giving 45mm lift in total. I'm going to 30' tyres soon with no plans to change the lift height or springs.

@sniper that’s my point. You have other mods as well. And importantly different dampers.

Mild lift springs alone are unlikely to make it ride and handle way better than stock.
