Eibach sways and springs

[jimboski10]

I have a 2021 GT2 AWD. I have the Eibach front and rear sway bars on it. Thinking about the Eibach springs….worth it or not? Beyond the lowering of it….any other noticeable difference? Ride quality better? Handling better? Any hitting of bump stops? Or issues rubbing the bottom of the car over bumps/curbs/etc? Any issues with tire wear?

I have the Eibach sways but ended up going with Ark gt-f springs. They work better with oem shock play and drop it just enough (1inch) so no rubbing issues. Comfort level is like stock with improved handling and cornering. Less harshness over bumps. Worth it to me. I need to get new tires with thicker sidewall as I’m wearing out the oems but just to give you an idea of the drop.

Thank you! I was wondering about the Eibach 1.4” drop on the front and rubbing issues. That 1” drop really makes a visual difference…does not look as much like a 4 wheel drive truck
When you say new tires with thicker sidewalls…is that due to the springs? Or something else?

Welcome @Blueray car is looking great.

I have the Eibach Springs & sway bars as well as the Whiteline Endlinks with other parts to make the car handle awesome. I run some of the widest tires you can put on the car, no rubbing issues, I also don't carry anything in my trunk an I live in Arizona where the roads are very smooth.

Thank you…this is great info! How is ride quality and tire wear?

It's a little bit stiffer then stock but good, I have the camber adjusted all the way, so far no tire wear but I also don't drive a lot. Since I installed the wheels & tires "11,000 miles ago" tires are looking great.

Thanks for the insights!

I need to get new tires due to the softness of the OEM tires. I went up in specs to 19x8.5 and 19x10. I also want wider thicker tires with these aftermarket rims for better grip and traction.
