Anyway to stiffen the rear on Eibach coilovers?

[CarmeloS]

(These coils)

love her, love the looks, but the rears a little too soft and besides a Rock Joint, what else could I do, as when I break she dives, and once got a little squirrelly

Kenda Klevers btw, 35x10.5x17, lowered the psi from 42 to 38

Thanks in Advance!

Someone else mentioned brake dive with Eibach springs

NASCAR uses spring rubber in between coils. No idea where to get it but something like that might work.

Can't help with the springs, but 38psi is still way above your weight.

Wouldn’t you want to stiffen the front to reduce brake dive?
Eibach has an upgrade front spring for winch and heavy bumper applications.
Maybe there’s enough adjustment on the shock that you could run them IDK.
What say you @Caleb@PandaMotorworks ?

 

[CarmeloS]

Appreciate the replies, and see what the shops say as well

Its not terrible at all, still able to go from here to wherever without issue, just day and night difference between stock and all this

FWIW, my stock OBX has lots of brake dive, so I would imagine there could be very limited aftermarket firming compared to stock.

Seems like it could work. After dialing in the front, then do whatever needs to be done to restore rake via rear ride height.


Assuming Eibach's upgrade front spring will be properly balanced with their progressive rear spring for freeway ride quality.

Stiffen rear springs to combat brake dive. Uh huh. You may also want to consider upgrading your rear brakes for increased breaking performance as well.


If you're lifted have you added a drop bracket for your panhard bar?
Given your description of the perceived issue I'd look there first.

Ordering the rock joint soon and around town and on the highway, its compliant, just transformed compared to stock
