New Eibach 2.0 Coilovers with Wheel and Tire Setup

[MPC]

After exhaustive research did essentially same setup on my ‘24 2.7EB XLT RWD but with Bilstein level and replaced the 265/60/18 OEM Hankooks with 275/70/18 GG ATX SL. Love the look and ride. IMO the GG ATX SL’s are the only way to go for filling out wheel wells after level without taking such a drastic hit in MPGs and performance vs heavier 33” E load tires….Think the only other good-looking, more aggressive-styled but light 275/70/18 SL AT is the new Nitto Terra Grappler G3. Debated going with these but there’s not a lot of reviews or test data on yet (even though it’s essentially just the next gen G2) so went with a known, proven product in the GG ATX and lovin it - looks, ride-quality, performance. Highly recommend this setup.

You have the same priorities as me- and I agree, this is the ideal setup for the priorities. I almost did the G3 also but decided against it for lack of info on tire performance.

After seeing this thread multiple times you managed to persuade me to order a set of Eibach coilovers, nicely done sir. I will keep the oem tire set up for now until these wear out but will mirror your tire set up when the time comes.

Update on ride quality with Eibachs- turned my front coilovers down 1/2” and the ride quality is noticeably more supple and compliant than the out of the box setting (full high). Just got back from a 1500 mile road trip so have ample time on this setup for reliable feedback. Mixed with the 18” SL rated GG and this setup absorbs potholes and road imperfections very nicely. Road noise however is definitely more noticeable than the stock Hankooks. GGs perform well in snow, but stopping distance on icy roads is not as good as dedicated winter tires.
