Default Hello from Eibach

Hey guys, New to this forum so I thought that I would introduce myself. I've worked with Eibach Springs for three years and I manage the Motorsports Department. I am a new owner of a 1999 GS 300 and I'm here to learn some information from you all as well as to keep you in the loop on any new production coming from Eibach that suits the Lexus Community. If you ever see me at any event please say hello as I look forward to meeting you.

I'm sure the first question that a lot of you already have is..."why doesn't Eibach make a Sportline for the GS line up?"

The consumers who drove these cars back then were not willing to sacrafice ride comfort for "track-like" handling. The Pro-Kit was a perfect blend of improved handling without sacraficing comfort. I currently have the Pro-kit on my GS and it does make a huge difference compared to stock like most other high quality lowering springs. I'll have install and comparison pic up for you guys soon!

Welcome, Eibach! I've always been a fan of your springs, installing them in three cars I've owned and never using another brand. My GS400 will be dropping soon, though, and I'm forced to leave your well-engineered springs I'm comfortable with in search of another model (probably Tanabe NF210s) to accomplish what Sportlines would've.

Aside from that, it's nice to meet you!

Hi and welcome EIBACH GS!!

I'm looking forward to your comments and comparison's in the future. You know, I'm not only curios as to why the Sportline spring was not made for this car, which you already advised, but why Eibach hasn't produced a coil over for the 2nd or for that matter, 3rd gen. Could REALLY give the competition a run for the money!
