93-97 vs 98-03 prokit

[95fbirdkid]

will the 98 + eibach prokit springs fit on a 93-97 car? in the tech database it says the 98+ gets lowered more than the 93-97

they will work.. they are jsut a diff spring rate.. but.. bitc*-bach wont tell you what they acctualy are.. good luck guessing..

strano said he dident think those numbers were correct.. If you are really pressed you can call him about it.. i am jsut relaying the info.. and! when we called eibach to find out they wouldent give them out.. to ANYONE!! we called like 20 times.. it was funny.. they are bastards now.. sam was pretty pissed about it..

dosent really matter to me since I went w/ coil overs.. but.. just something to think about peeps..

I was sold the older model for my 2002, and the rear sits a little low.
I called Eibach to find out if it would make any difference if I put the correct set in, and they never called back.

Eibach CORRECTED information.

3831.240 = 1" (93-97 F body cars)
3870.240 = 1.4" (98-03 F body

3831.240 Front = 351 lb/in, Rear = 80 / 137 lb/in.
3870.240 Front = 337 lb/in, Rear = 75 / 135 lb/in.

Both kits have a linear front spring, and a progressive rear spring.


"Any idea where the information that the fronts were progressive (as stated in an earlier e-mail) would have come from?"

"Perhaps our old tech-guy looked up the wrong part #"

:mad:

What's different about the design of the older vs newer chassis?
Do the new cars sit higher, so they need more drop? I don't think that's it, because I put the older springs(1" drop) on my new car, and it went down 2".
Were you able to get specs for the free length and installed hieght?
