Bad squat with eibach springs

[22 Spyder]

No installed it as I received it. I'm on the 2nd set and one side is at squat levels already

So, the 2nd set is also sagging? Crazy

The problem is the Eicbachs are just way too soft in the rear. Any extra weight over stock will cause the rear to squat. I switched mine to the Hyperco HD and couldn’t be happier. Much better feel on and off road. Here’s a comparison of the two Hyperco on the left.

Wouldn’t expect that from Eibach. The Hypers look really good.

yes my front is still more lifted then my rear, not as bad as my first set yet.. but its only been a month.
i started sagging really badly around 3 months, the first time around....

Thx sucks, wouldn’t expect that from Eibach. Guess our Bronco Raptors do better with progressive springs rather than linear springs.

Looks like the Hyperion are progressive while the Eibach are not…

While the progressive rate design offers preferred ride characteristics, if designed correctly, either progressive or linear rates coils should have no issues with ride height or sagging. This just seems like improper design...

So I just swapped out my eibachs for hyperco 2/1. I don't have much weight in the back. So don't really need hd.
The eibachs are definitely softer all.

2 sets of sagging rear eibachs. I'm done ....

Swapping out springs 3 times is alot of work... glad I went with collars...

Lol no one expected eibach to be a bad brand... I grew up reading car magazines and seeing eibach as a high end brand.. .

I hear ya- I have run Eibach on other vehicles and they are usually spot on. Just a raw deal- that’s some big bolts to keep messing with.

Allow me to summarize this thread and my experience. Eibach springs suck on the Bronco. Period.

Everytime I get ready to buy the Eibach coilovers I see something like this.
Thanks for the heads up.

lol i've been actively warning people buying eibach. Just expect this result. Their front spring is great, dont get me wrong on that. but the rear..... really blows.
