Eibach Spring delay??? Any news?

Anyone else annoyed with the eibach pro-kit delays? Last I heard was, will be in stock May 31, 2008. Anyone heard different? And what's taking so long or reasons for continuous delays?

I'm about ready to give up on the wait and get H-techs. The only reason I've been waiting is, I want a mild drop (~1in) and a stiffer ride for the track. From what I've read the H-techs can give me the stance I want but not the increased stiffness. Please correct me if I've misinterpreted.

^^I had those things on order for months. Gave up and went with the BC coilovers. Already had those installed, cancelled my order with Eibach and spent that money on some sways which took 2 weeks to get here but I still got all that doen and the Eibachs are still not out. Glad I changed my mind.

It is what it is. If you dont want to wait then get something else.

I just bought the h-techs, but coilovers FTW if you are going to track your car

I agree with you that coilovers are the way to go. However, I only keep vehicles for a year or less at most and only see the track a couple times a month, so it's very hard for me to get my investment out of the cost of coilovers. I may have to try the H-techs.

anyone heard any updates at all? This is getting old. Eibach is a great company, but being the last to release something isn't the way to increase sales or fanbase........ I've been waiting, but I won't be waiting much longer cause I can't stand having my car with this much wheel gap!

I'm waiting for Tein, who knows how long it is going to be from them, wonder why it takes these companies so long to release something like springs,

I just called Eibach, and they estimate the springs will not be available until the end of June now. I guess everyone will have to continue to be patient.

(Info was confirmed by Abel @ Eibach customer serivce.)

a little blue birdy told me alot of companies are ....... waiting on Nissans specs to see how similiar the nissan 370z is so they dont have to R&D two completely different sets of parts whatever they are.

I have a feeling you are not only correct regarding the springs, but just about everything else that is taking forever to come out for the G37, hurry up Nissan and release the 370Z specs already, SIGH
