Eibach Springs?

Indy mentioned in a previous post about Eibach Progressive springs. Are these available for a 97 Aurora? I can't find a listing anywhere, so are they ones for an Achieva or Cutlass or other model that happen to fit? Also, domestic performance mentions "others" when describing their $500 springs. Anyone know what they are comparing theirs to? Any info is appreciated.

I understand Eibach dicontinued springs for the Aurora

Those Bas***ds. Thanks for the tip.

I'm looking into it. I want to go down about 2.5 inches in front, about 2.25 in back. I'm will contact a company which makes adjustable struts (AIM industries) and or air struts. the tricky part is the rear with the air shocks separate from the springs. I just got 20's for it also and don't want it to look like a fkn roller skate. this car has a great shape and needs to get down to look right especially with 20's. check cardomain.com, a few rides with 20's none down tho. will do it right, don't just want a low rider that rides like sht.

Pimpy!

I know a guy that can do custom springs for about $350 a set, if there is enough interest. Probably would need 5-10 people. Of course the more the sets, the lower the price. But i'm thinking more along the lines of 1 - 1.5" drop.

i might be interested. do you have any pics of your aurora with the rims roo?

boy wonder,

I found the link below for 95-96 Eibach springs along with new load
leveling shocks. The price isn't to bad. I plan on buying them
for my '95 but heard the spring rate is a little low in the
rear. You might call the manufacturer and ask if the 95-96
springs work on a '97. I don't see why they wouldn't unless
they had a major suspension change between years.

Good luck!

1997 model struts are different.

Thanks, I hope that works.

Just take a torch to the coils and save a ton of cash!

i hope your being sarcarstic

Yeah, because I already ordered some Eibachs. (WINK WINK)

Domestic Performance makes the springs with cooperation of a spring company who mass-produces springs for other large companies. Each set is made per order. We use the original stock springs from GM as a base and the order comes entirely custom. The problem with this is the cost is higher than if we used a "fit all" spring. This also means now that we have all the codes worked out they will fit perfectly.

We have learned the hard way making many sets and working with GM to work out all the ever-changing spring codes.

Finally they are totally worked out but expect to wait at least 8weeks due to all the variables. The original buyers of the product have waited a lot longer.

If there is a “group buy” of the product the price will obviously drop. I doubt there is enough people interested though.

“Other” companies had made the springs but they made a mass use style and made it poorly in my opinion.

I can pass on some info about the years though.

95-96 same front springs

95-97 has 3 different types of rear springs.

97-99 two types of front springs but the same rate.

98-99 4 types of rear springs one exclusive to the 1999 rear.

2001-2003 fronts has 4 types of front springs

2001-2003 rears springs 4 types as well.

This is just for the 4.0l

We can do the V6 as well but demand dictates.

i was talking about cutting or heating springs. i do however want to see you aurora whenever you get those on.

-The front springs can be cut but you will destroy your ride.

_ The rear springs are a Barrel type spring and they cannot be cut. So you would have to heat them. I have spent many hours talking with spring producers and heating will work but it is very bad for the spring.

-Your best bet is to find a shop willing to cut linier rate springs to fit. Price will be around $280.00-350.00. Still not a proper drop.

I was kidding, but spring heating is kind of a lost art. People have been doing it since way before we were born with almost no failure when done right. It's the "almost" part that you need to be concerned about. Slow heating in the correct area will allow a yield rate without losing the original grain orientation or changing the Rockwell hardness beyond two tenths of a point. To get the same compression on all related(two or four)coils takes special equipment also. This is why people stopped doing it. The labor will cost the same as a new set now that technology and machinery can create so many combinations so quickly.

Unfortunately, I don't think this place is still in business anymore. And if they are, they don't deserve anyone's business. They haven't answered their phones in five days. They don't return emails or faxes or phone messages. Bummer.

so what are you going to do about coils? buy from rsmracing or domesticperformance?

I doubt it. I just don't see any way I can justify spending $500 on springs.

Be patient and keep saving for them. They are done right so they will be safe for you and/or your family and you will always be happy with a top of the line product. It's only a couple hundred more.

Acutally, I'd rather go without than spend that kind of money. The stock springs seem to work just fine.
