Beretta.net

I need help!! lol

I got a quote from Summit Racing for all the KYB parts, but they said the Eibach springs for 87-94 Beretta are no longer available.

Is there another place that might have them? Im getting the car put together as we speak and i have the money for these.

I have a set to sell, but Tony has dibs. I'll double check to make sure he still wants them.

yours wont work woody your car was 95 the frt may work but the backs def wont

yea, Eibach discontinued them. the bastards. no one on ebay has them either. APEX Springs apparently makes them for our cars: APEX but no one that I know has tried them. There is still also Intrax, Sprint and Canucks. I would recommend the Canucks, as I *believe* they are similar to Eibach Sportlines, if I'm correct, someone has to verify this. They will give you a huge drop though, but many have said that they have good performance. We're really running out of options, sadly.

I sold my 95 springs to Mark a couple years ago, but I got a set of Eibachs from Mike (your car) when I bought his KYBs. So they are the older style.

Just remember our biggest problem is lack of choices when it comes to shocks, more so than springs. The only "BEST" option out there is using the Koni J-body front inserts and Saab rears since the KYB's are marginal if not very close to stock replacement.

I'm thinking of doing that possibly next year.

theres a set on a 90 beretta gtz in the junkyard.... i dont have the time to pull them.

also older j body springs will work, 94-. sunbird, cavaliers, ect.

Correct, you can purchase a 1994 Cavalier Z24 Eibach spring kit and it will fit a 87-94 Beretta. I'm not 100% positive that the springs are created equal... Since I do not know what the PN used to be for the Beretta. Due to weight differences the J-body springs may be made slightly different even though a stock Z24 ACDELCO spring is the same one used on a Beretta.

Ok. Let me know as soon as you find out and if he doesnt want them, i will send through paypal to pay for them.

I got quoted for KYB Gas-adjust for the rear and GR-2s for the front, they also said they had replacement front mounts but they said i didnt need anything for the rear. I dont know lol

Should i be looking for something different? What year saabs for the rear?

I searched last night and found that actually. They still have them on their site but i didnt want to hassle with ordering them then they send the wrong thing or then they tell me they dont have them.

Instead, i sent them an email to confirm that they still have them, then if they do i will order.

Got an email back, turns out they dont have them either...

Woody i will pay extra haha. But if not, whats the next best spring to get? I dont want it to be totally slammed.

Thanks for the help so far, the fact that the car is actually getting done is like a dream to me lol.

I'm not 100% positive, as I noted there is nothing else to look for... KYB Gas-Adjust for the rears and GR-2's for the front are about all there is for 100% drop in replacement. I'm running that now, it's OK... but definatley could use to be stiffer up front, and more dampening in the rear.

Geoff said he might do the J-body front inserts and the Saab rears and I told him to document all the p/n's so I can use that info next year when I go to do this.

SummitBalt08, have you read anything about the J-body springs fitting or did you just glide over that part?
