Thumbs down

In case this has not been posted.

If you decide to go with the Eibach Pro-Kit make sure you get a good set. They had some issues with a batch that had to be recalled because they were making a creaking noise. Make sure the spring does not have number "145393" stamped in the coil. I ordered a set of springs from Dallas Mustang and this is the info they gave me. They were not going to get a good set in for a couple of weeks so I ordered from Maximum Motorsports out in California. They confirmed the same info. He actually had a couple of good sets and more on the way.

I would think this number would be on the box it came in, you may want to check there.

The box is history in Cali. What if I've got no creaking noise? Should I be worried?

The tech guy at Dallas Mustang said the only issue was the creaking noise so if your not hearing it then your fine. I was told the stamp with the number is on the spring toward the top.

Per my telephone conversation with a rep at Steeda, Eibach and Steeda both made their early springs with the incorrect pig-tail position. Had something to do with the way the pig-tail rests on the mount...made a popping sound.

That'a why I had to wait two months for my Steeda spings!

But I am getting mine this week, thank God!

Hope that helps.

Also, call Steeda if your spings are on backorder. You may get your springs quicker if you get your name on a set before someone else. It almost sounds as if they still don't have enough in stock for everyone.

Me too! He said, "Boy am I glad you called." Then searched for my order and processed it.
