Mzrmazda3 6th Gear April 15, 2006 Share April 15, 2006 Bro, if you go for lowering springs i would suggest that you change along your stock shocks too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordia_gsr Neutral Newbie April 15, 2006 Share April 15, 2006 (edited) Most of these aftermarket springs will definitely shorten the life span for your original shocks. However, if you intend just to change the springs 1st and use the original shocks, going for Eibach is a good choice. From my understanding, Eibach Pro-kits are designed in a way to use with factory OEM shocks so it's not that far out in terms of rebound and basic statistics. I have tested it and it's been coming to 1 & 1/2 years, shocks are still good as new. Edited April 15, 2006 by Cordia_gsr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummaker Neutral Newbie April 15, 2006 Share April 15, 2006 bro, if ya change ur spring to lowering springs, it will reduce the lifespan of ur stock shocks as they are not designed to take the harshness of the stiff aftermarket springs. one thing to note is that there is no aftermarket sports shocks for getz. I have used eibach on my getz before and i can tell u is that the ride comfort is greatly reduced compared to other makes using eibach. perhaps our stock shocks really cmi. maybe other bro who have used b+g springs for getz can comment.

Minicooper Neutral Newbie April 20, 2006 Author Share April 20, 2006 (edited) oh dear, really? now i'm having second thoughts... so did u change back to stock at the end? Edited April 20, 2006 by Minicooper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummaker Neutral Newbie April 22, 2006 Share April 22, 2006 Yup, you got it correct. I changed ack to stock after a week. still on stock shocks and springs now. maybe will consider eibach again after there is aftermarket sports shocks for getz.

Lackcy Neutral Newbie April 23, 2006 Share April 23, 2006 why dun u go to the getz forum and ask other owners' opinions 1st. different people have different preference. it may not be comfy for gummaker. but it may be ok for others. I'm using it on the picanto and i find it acceptable have no regrets fixin it, cos handling and look impove. So ask around man. they may even let u try out their rides at meet up. www.cylack.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
