I'm looking at these springs also, and contacted Falken Tech. Dept. today. "Jim" told me they are legit, and said Eibach had nothing to do with them. I have a 2000 ex coupe 4cyl...what else is recomended when installing these springs? i.e. strut mount plates? caster/camber bolts? Which struts/shocks will work when lowering 2.0f/1.9r or 2.5fr/2.4r? Sorry to hi-jack your thread, bro!
^^ talked to ome guy named tim and he said he doesnt have any info about them working with eibach on the springs but he did confirm that falken did contract another company to make them. it could be eibach but it might now be as well

no you're right eibach didnt design them or anything, but they both used the same manufacturer. at least thats what i was told. i remember something being said about some kind of limited lifetime warrenty on em or something...i forget the details, its been a bit since i called about em.
no worries bout hijacking the thread...i used the 2.0/1.9 with new monroe struts, was goin for kyb but i got the wrong ones shipped to me and was too impatient to wait so i ran out and bought something else. other than that i didnt really change much else. i was able to use my stock plates and mounting hardware and i dont show any obvious signs of camber what so ever. i figured id get em on and see how bad it was before getting a camber kit but im gonna pass on it. just get a good alignment.
if you go with the lower kit, the 2.4 i would definitely get way better struts. id be willing to bet thats a little too much drop for even a slightly better than stock strut to handle.
its been almost a week though and im lovin em still. no issues.....

Cool! I'm glad they are working out for ya. And thanx for the info!
yup thanks frantz for the updates. you think the 1"3/4 gap in the back will drop anymore? also do you have any added weight in the rear such as a system?
im trying to guesstimate the gap i will have. =) gonna order the springs next monday

no system
unfortunately. i wouldnt mind another 1/4 inch or so but im cool with em even if they dont go anymore. did you consider the ones with the 2.4 inch drop? i didnt want to go that low but it might help you if these dont.
