I wonder if lower the car with factory 18" wheels would be noticeable?

It was definitely noticeable on my car before I put the 19" wheels on. Think about it, the 18" wheel and tire total size should be very close to the same as the 19" wheel and tire size or else we would have to change the speedo calibration as wheels are changed. The 19" tires have a smaller aspect ratio.

Thanks
Not sure there is a difference. I have a set for sale and they have both the Techart and the Eibach logos printed on them.

i always was under the impression that one was merely the private label version of the other.

The impression I got was the spring rates are a bit different. Techart specified a different rate than what Eibach is doing for the own label. All anyone talks about is the drop, even Eibach doesn't give # specs on their website.

How long did you wait before getting an alignment? I don't want to align the car and it hasn't settled.

First post is replying to a thread that's been dead for eight years?

I don't get it, but it seems to happen pretty often around here. Are these comments real or some sort of bot activity? No harm in it if it's real, just curious what makes people tick.

Yes, it’s real. I did an Eibach search and this post popped up and I was I interested in the post. If it’s such a big deal to respond just forget it

The search function doesn't work for so many of us that we sometimes forget that it exists for others!!!

No big deal at all, which is why I specifically said there was no harm in it. It just struck me as odd which was why I wondered if it was some kind of bot. Welcome to Rennlist.
