Multi-Pro Coil-Over R2: Is anybody using these?

OK, so I did a search on the forum and I could not find a single soul using these. The following is a link to the description:

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...713&perfCode=A

They seem like a decent setup for a decent price from a decent company. If any of you is running these, Please come forward and post a review when you get a chance. The closest match I could find using "search" is the following thread, but even that is for the R1 coilover kit and not the R2.

Any inputs would be appreciated.

I think Myles here has talked to Eibach about these. They certainly seem interesting.

I'll see if I can get some info from him on them (i'm not in the office today).

Just talked to Myles and he reminded me that we've talked about them before and i've seen the shock dyno plots for these. Duh.

The plots looked very Koni-ish with very good range. Definitely a good thing. Double adjustable, lots of fluid capacity, should be great on the track.

For the price, I think it's a worthwhile option to consider. We do carry them and have a good relationship with Eibach.

I am glad you atleast have them and know about them, but that's about as far as I get in my search for reviews. Why isn't anyone running these? And if they are, would one of you please take the time for a quick review. I'd really appreciate it.

They are pretty new. The shock dyno was very good, and that alone is more technical info then you'll get from 95% of coilovers out there, which IMO are just for style.

That said i'd like to see a review too.

+1 on bringing this back up.

This particular coilover is the only one offered by this military online vendor I buy from, and just like you, I haven't found anything about them. I know there was a guy who had them, and said that he'd install them, but never got an update...

But from a technical standpoint that GTWORX was able to provide, sounds like a good alternative to the more expensive options.

Heh, sounds like it's time to convince Eibach to sell a set cheap to someone to demo for the good of the community!

(and yeah, I'd volunteer!)

You check out the dyno for the SA ones too by chance?

according to a local suspension specialist, from basic observation of the strut, it is possible that they are sourced by KW! So it should be pretty good!

KW gets its dampers from ALKO.
