They will fit dude, the hub holes are bigger on the 7,8,9's tho and there is a couple of ways of fitting them just hit search! As for height im just after putting evo 9 billes and eibach lowering springs into my 6 and she sits rather high but ride is unbeliveable imo

 

How did u fit yours, is the ride less harsh than standard, I suffer from lower back probs and need the setup to be softer than standard, the car has tein coil overs at moment and the ride is hard as hell !!
Do you have a link for how to go about fitting them?
What's the advantage of evo 7, 8 or 9 shocks and springs over evo6 standard shocks n springs??
Thanks

 

I have mine fitted with shims i made up but i kept the standard hub bolt hole size. Grant260 and Ross sport both sell kits.

I can tell you that the ride is alot better than my old hks coilovers. As for advantages the standard shocks and springs from either 6's or later models would be the same imo but the uprated bilstiens for the later 8,9s are a great upgrade as they are a better shock and once paired with a lowering spring work very well! I think they have been one of the better upgrades ive carried out on my vehicle even if it does sit a little higher than the coilovers.

As for fitting they are straight forward but do use the search button as this topic has been covered many many times even with myself asking lol

 

Your car is higher with billes and eibach than with the coilovers, but comparing to standard suspensión, is it higher too?

 

I´ll write this doubt in this thread because it is related to height?

I have been checking all the different threads about bilstein+eibach but I haven´t found any talking about the height.
B6 are standard evo IX. So If we fit B6 with standard springs how high the car will be comparing to a standard evo V?
B8 are the same but better to be used with lower springs, but I have read that you will probably lose wheel in B roads, less traction; that´s something I don´t like. But, is it really true or not?
And is it possible to use B6 with eibach springs? I suppose so, but what´s the diference between using them with B6 or B8 (mainly when I have read about the problem of losing wheel)

Thanks!!:smthumbup

 

I have a pair of front shocks and spring which have just been repainted if ya interested??

 

B6 B8 ???? Can u explain please and what do u mean about loosing the wheel

 

Bennydavis what evo are your shocks off, can u message me some more details spec and price thanks

 

Hi Benny;

which shocks and springs? evo V´s standard ones? Bilsteins? which model? milles?
At the moment I´m studing all the possible options; I would like to know first which is the best option for my car, taking into account handling, height....
cheers

 

I´ve been reading several threads, and in one of them it is said that as B8 has shortened stroke with eibach, when you are driving on some bumpy roads you can lose wheel (or loose wheel, don´t know the proper way to say it, but I mean a loss of traction )

 

B8???? Do you mean E8 as in evo 8

 

the shocks are off a 5 with about 60k miles on them. they have been cleaned and painted black. the springs are also standard and have been painted red. there are a few chips on the springs where they were and the top mounts have a little knock to them. if any one is interested pm me.

 

Thanks Benny, but my standard ones are more or lees same miles, it is what it is fitted at the moment.

Cookiebuzz, this is B6 and B8, bellies models:

Hi mates!!

Does anybody know the answer for these questions?:

The car is an evo V, and comparing to evo V standard suspension,

how high is the car with evo IX bilstein and standard springs?
how high is the car with evo IX bilstein and eibach springs?
how much better is the car? Is it better only with bilsteins or is it necesary to fit eibach too?

I have read biltein+eibach make the car handling better, but in which way? is it more comfortable, easier to handle or is it more effective?

Thanks again!!

 

Car with bilsteins will have a gap between a 17" wheel with oem size tyre and the front wing of 8cm aproximately on standard springs, and a gap of 6.5cm on the red eibach from an fq360, around 5cm gap on the black eibachs.

Yes it will handle and ride better.

Marios

 

Nobody knows?

 

Nobody knows?

I think it is quite useful for people who are considering replacing standard shocks with bellies.

Cheers!!

 

Yes they will, you need to use shims. There are traders on here selling kits to adopt the later suspension on earlier models, try Rossport.







Marios

 

Thanks both of you mates!!!!:smthumbup

Marios, thanks a lot for the figures.
I assume you are talking about the billies in a V or VI, aren´t you?

Are these figures taken from the inner part of the front wing ( I mean, from the center of the tyre upwards to the inner part of the wing) or from the outer part of the wing (edge of the tyre with the side of the wing)??

If it is from the inner part, the gap is nearly 9cm If it taken from the outer part it´s 6 cm. (reference taken in an Evo V with standard shocks and springs, 18" wheels 225/40/18, which is the same as standard 17")

 

Yes I am talking about a VI on a set of billies, figures are of an outer side of parts measurement. No hay de que amigo.

Marios

 

I have just checked it again.

Car: evo V with standard suspension and 18" 225/40/18, so similar to standard 17"

Measurement taken from the middle of the tyre upwards to the inner part of the wing 9cm.
Measurement taken from the outer part of the tyre to the outer part of the wing 6cm.

So according to the figures given by Marios (4g638) billies + red eibach are the closest option to the standard EVO V or VI heigh.
The option with black eibach is good too, you get your car a bit lower.
But Billies with standard springs is not a good option, the car will be higher than standard.

I hope it helps as it has helped me!!

Good job Marios!! as well as your Spanish :smthumbup

 

So when fitting bilsteins off a 8 or 9 onto a evo 6 do u use evo 8 eibach springs or evo 6 eibachs

 

I suppose Evo 8 eibach because they are the evo 8 shocks.

 

I have been suggested to fit Evo 7,8 or 9 knuckles instead of getting the fitting kit as you fit the shocks straight away. But, does evo 7, 8 or 9 fit in a 5 or 6?
I have had a quick look at the forum and I think they don´t fit.
