Tomo 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Just putting my coilovers on my car and i've also bourght a pair of eibach arbs. Where does the back one go? is it in the rear axle beam, i need to replace the bushes anyway in the beam so though i'd do them at the same time. Has anyone had expreience with either?! !dodge Can it be done relatively easily?Thanx very much Link to post Share on other sites
Tomo 0 Posted September 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Vr monster you there ?! I noticed in your picture of your front arb that the rear one is on the axle beam? have you got a pic, where's it go?! %-6 thanx again Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 dont have a pic of the rear but ill see if i can get one. it basically attatches to the underside of the rear beam with 2 bushes and some huuuuge clamps. then to the bolts that attatch the rear legs to the rear axle. quite simple really. ill sort a pic out for you later.

FishWick 21 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Yeah the eibach rear is supplementary to the factoty one and fixes to the lower strut bolts and is clamped around the axle with stainless straps. Set your coilovers so that the ground to arch measurement is 60cm all round. If you want to be hardcore, get someone to measure the distance on the driver's side with you sitting in the car with a full tank and set the driver's side to be the same as the passenger side with with you in it. That means the car will sit a couple of mill higher on the driver's side unladen, but on the road it makes a difference. That's basically corner weighting the car, which is how they setup the BTCC touring cars. Link to post Share on other sites

Tomo 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 that's pretty interesting bout the 60cm! will give that a try. that's asuming standard sized wheels etc? i've got standards on there at the moment. Will have to see where that puts my sump as it has already had a bit of a beating! My fk highsport seem a bit too bouncy/soft at the front. They don't seem to have designed them specifically for the vr6? bought them from venom and they use the same coilovers as for gti's etc. although they knew i had a vr... Surely this the vr6 is significantly heavier than the 2.0 litre lump in the gti's for it to have it's own suspension setup? seems to be going though it's travel too easily and bouncing back to fast, presumably because or the additional preload on the springs to achieve the correct ride hieght and not enough dampening, rebound and compresion. anyone else experiencing this?
