Eibach Up-date

[Bill Scott]

I just installed the Eibach rear springs in my SSR and they are PERFECT the truck sits perfectly level and looks super, absolutely worth the $$$ The total installation time was about 45 minutes by myself. Also it did not alter the ride at all.

Bill:

Did you have to change out the shocks? I just had Eibach's installed on my Escalade and it rides like crap...... I called Eibach this morning and they advised that I should have installed their performance shock kit that goes with the pro truck kit!!!! Nobody mentioned that when I bought the darn kit!!!!

You dont need to change out the shocks with the springs. I am working with HAL QA1 for a set of rear shocks for our SSR's that are adjustable for both compression and rebound. This way you could dial the rear shocks in to aid weight transfer at the track then go back to a street setting real easy. I will update when I have everything together.

Ok, Cool, I will look forward to seeing just what you come up with. Seems strange to me that one could lower the rear end of the SSR thereby using 2" less of the shock travel and still get a decent ride.... Would seem that the shock might have a tendancy to bottom out on a bumpy road...... Well, at least that is what the guys from Eibach told me about my Escalade... I think I will spend the dough to see if they are correct and if it improves the ride.

Thanks,

If you check the threads on lowering just the rear of the SSR using either eibach or ground foce.........All I have seen in here agreed that the ride was not altered........And I am one of them..........I think your trying to mix apples and oranges........A Escalade is no SSR........ Mine rides great and looks great....just the right drop......

Not trying to confuse anyone... Just thinking that if you reduce the positive travel by 2" on a shock absorber it would seem then that you would have plenty of travel for negative G's but mininmal travel for positive G's. Of course I doubt if many folks load the back of the SSR like I do my Escalade.!

Really looking forward to your info on adjustable shocks for the SSR...
