eibachs ride really nice, probable how are cars should ride from the factory but you will have some ass sage even with the wagon spec ones.

they don't actually carry any.. i've asked them before. you won't find these on ANYONES shelves.. they are pretty damn hard to find.

side note: I have them on my car. they ride awesome! Perfect if you want a 'better then stock' feel without it being too harsh. Also get a nice drop from them!

They say 97-98. I guess they would fit the 99s since nothing on the body style has changed for that year?

yeah they would fit the 99 BD models as well. Reason it says 98 is because the manufacture date of the cars goes till 98.. the model year goes till 99. Something along those lines.

However.. they don't have them since eibach discontinued making them YEARS ago.

I searched for these springs from a few of my vendors that checked all their sources. Unless some joe has a brand new set sitting in his basement collecting dust you won't find these brand new. I till this day don't understand why people sweat these springs, I dealt with Eibachs on a few different cars own by friends. Once the ridiculous sag sets in they didnt keep them long. But to each their own, some like that raised front look.

^^ ouch man!

But yes, Eibach discontinued production on these springs about 12-18 months ago. It was around that time they removed the BD/BK/BG as an application from their catalog. Every vendor would simply order the springs direct from Eibach when they received an order - the demand wasn't there to have them "in stock".
They only make camber bolts now.

reason: sag? what are you talking about? I've had mine for a while.. and i got them used! There is no sag or other blasphemy you speak of! :lol:

The reason people like them so much is because they are great springs! Unlike the H&R with a massive drove.. not everyone wants to get dumped 1.5" etc and roll down the street feeling like they are riding on cinder blocks every time they hit a slight crack in the streets!

What is this "drove" you speak of?? lol Anyway I wrote them and they are now marked discontinued :-)

I also like to add, if they are so good, why are they discontinued?

^ what he said, i am extremely happy with the ride with the new H&R's and kyb's the drop looks extreme from next to the car but from a distance it doesn't look like much

H&R's are great no doubt.. but i still think that eibachs are a bit less 'stiff' feeling. At least from other cars ive ridden in.. however.. they were not suby's.. so I'm not sure.

And they were discontinued.. cause well.. these models of cars are getting old.. DAMMIT.. i cant believe mines 10 years old now.. haha! Good question.. wonder WHY they were discontinued.. because everyone who has them seems to love them!

I wouldn't go that far saying everyone loves them. Seems like the people that never had them love them. Anyway, when I had my GR2's and H&R springs I was disappointed on how soft the ride was. I wanted a stuff suspension. Granted it was better than stock, just not as close as I was hoping for. The suspension I have now is SWEET and couldnt be more happy.

Either way, Eibachs for the BD/BG/BK are no longer available. Discontinued due to lack of sales. Every manufacturer has to retool at some point. No-ones ever happy with the same suspension, I bet some would find my King Springs too "bouncy". ;)
