Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs 30K Mile Review

In February of 2019 one of our crew members snagged a new Honda Civic Sport hatchback in a 6 speed manual. Six weeks later it was lowered on Eibach Sportline lowering springs. Priorities. Three years and 30 thousand miles later and we’re still sporting an ear to ear grin every time we take it for a ride. Eibach Sportline Install Overall the difficulty level for a spring install is intermediate. Installation on suspension components can be daunting if you’ve never done it but it isn’t exactly the most complicated process either. The most attention and care must be taken when...

Rancho Performance Suspension & Shocks FAQ

How is height adjustment made on the Quicklifts? I have a 2007 Silverado and only want one inch of lift. The Quicklifts unfortunately are not going to be ride height adjustable, when we say that the quick lifts are adjustable what we're referring to is the valving. The Quicklifts have adjustable valving, but not adjustable ride height. What they're meant for is to get your truck level with the rear at a fixed height depending on whatever whatever truck you have that lift height is going to be a little bit different. How long is the Rancho Warranty? The good...

Fox Shocks Ride Review

Since there were numerous team members currently equipped with Fox, along with Kingston’s Rebel, we took the opportunity to go get a feel for all 3 platforms. All three vehicles handled well with the Fox Shocks installed but there were some slight differences in the ride quality depending upon which type of terrain you drive over most often. 2020 Ram Power Wagon - Fox 2.0 Performance The 2020 Power Wagon has a new Carli Suspension 2" kit riding on Fox 2.0 Performance Shocks.

Washboards and Deep Snow. Testing the Limits of Our Daily Driver and Power Wagon

You can’t find the limits if you don’t push them, right? Taking advantage of the free dispersed camping available via the Bureau of Land Management is pretty easy in a high clearance vehicle like a truck or SUV, but what about a passenger car? And what if that car is lowered on Eibach springs? Ridiculous or genius? Well I was determined to find out as I headed North along the gorgeous Highway 395 from Los Angeles to Reno in my Civic hatchback. I was set to explore the snow covered terrain in the Tahoe National Forest with Sean in his...
