dude thats weak, but im glad it shows that this company sucks. i was honestly considering buying some eibach springs for mine, sorry to hear that bro

:mfrown:

I have never heard of this happening with Eibach springs. Sorry to hear man

[04SiSpeed]

Yea i have never heard of anything like this. I was a fire fighter for 8 years and seen car accident you cant even imagine and entire coils are on the highway off the car, lik this is just a mystery to me. So i ordered Skunk2 lowering springs, i hope they are a lil better lol.

this definitely is out of the norm for this company -- did you try to contact them to let them know? i've had Eibachs (not on the EP) for way longer than you had them and never had any issues.

Ditto^^ I had a set for 40k on my old GTI with no problems - no measurable sag even. I would contact the Company. They should stand behind their springs...

Two years for my pro-kits. Autox with them for two seasons and they're still holding up fine. What you went through is definitely out of the norm. Definitely contact them.

[04SiSpeed]

Yea i called them, they where closed today and they dont have a email. Just a answering machine. I mean i have always heard nothing but good things too, until this all the sudden happened. It sucks cuz i almost crashed pretty much. The car dropped and hooked while i was on the highway goin 80. It was pretty serious ha. So i wounder the outcome of all this, If i was a company i would be sending this customer a set of the best coilovers we had over nite, but thats just me :tehehyper:

[EP_EJAY]

if you have the box im sure they will replace them

[beechstreet]

my eibach pro-kits are holding up after 120K+! good luck with the warranty!

[Tnhatch03]

sorry to hear about that. def. get some pictures if you can and call them up ASAP.

I have had my springs on my EP since 2003 and no issues whatsoever.

[dschaos]

definitely call them up, i have a buddy that's had a pro-kit on his GLI for at least 4 years now, and we run his car pretty hard at autox events. i picked up a little pamphlet up the other day and it says that there is a Million Mile Warranty.

this happened to my buddies 03 rsx premium. Eibach spring snapped on him. I was soooo amazed when he showed me. He replaced them with H&R

Are you sure the springs aren't counterfeit? I've never hear of that brand breaking like that.

[04SiSpeed]

They are real, i ordered them way back in the day off tirerack. I think i got a bad batch of metal or something. But i dont have the box, i dont keep trash laying around so, I am pretty sure they will replace them anyways, it says eibach on the springs, plus they dont want me sueing for wrongful endangerment or anything. So im sure they will take care of it somehow.

[Drew1d]

Since you ordered them online, I'd imagine that they emailed you the receipt. Could you post the date you ordered them/install them? I have a feeling that other people that have Eibach's would want to know. Eibach, if not tirerack should give you new ones, albeit, they may want you to send them in first. Good luck dude.

[ep3forlife]

yea my eibach's snapped the other day....booooo

[dohcep3]

Hope you guys got some pictures for us to see?
