Calibra turbo LE
Hi
I am wondering if anyone can please help. I have a calibra turbo LE. I have koni adjustable suspension with eibach springs in rear. I did have pi springs in front but they were pretty bad so took then off and put new eibachs in front - lowered 25mm which Should be standard for the LE. It's lowered too much. I can drive the car, but when hitting bumps and going round corners, it's catching the arch! I am running Courtenay deep dish alloys on 215 40 17 tyres. Does anyone have any ideas what my problem is? I dont understand how many are running eibachs in front some with bigger wheels and have no issues.
Can anyone advise before I go crazy?

Re: Calibra turbo LE
it might be marked on one of the spokes on the inside of the wheel, although not all aftermarket wheels have it

Re: Calibra turbo LE
Author is not the only one who has problems with Eibach...
My friend bought same prokit a couple months ago and he has same problems as Robs Calibra. Moreover he is on standard 16'' BBS RX with stock tire dimensions.
I have Eibach prokit springs + Koni Sport shocks + 16'' BBS on my Turbo Calibra, and fortunately I have no specific problems with them. But 17" BBS are coming in new year. And now I am a little worried that I can face same problems

Re: Calibra turbo LE
It's so annoying so will be getting arches rolled by specialist and hopefully cure the problem. I guess eibach maybe don't account for 17inch alloys as standard are 16 inch. I can only think that makes a difference. Not sure in actual make, they are Courtenay deep dish alloys.
