***Update***

I have been in contact with Dave from Eibach springs and he says; "They DO NOT produce Eibach springs without the Eibach logo.”
Now they do produce springs for private labels without Eibach engraved on them but that’s only for private labels.

Dave is running the numbers on my springs this afternoon and should contact me back either tonight or early tomorrow morning. He says it is possible that a batch may have been produced somehow missing the label but that it’s highly unlikely.
I did tell him that my springs were supposedly shipped from there California warehouse and were not purchased on Ebay, so that’s why I have the concern that I do.

I will update you guys with any further information that is sent my way.

Here's a pic of my spings.

 

Keep up updated. Very interesting thread. I hope it all works out for you bro. Good luck.

 

Definately keep us updated. I would really like to know what to expect when I get mine next weekish.
I have checked with quite a few people recently that I know have these springs, and so for not a single person with Sportlines have the Eibach logo, but every single person with the Prokit have it.

An official word from Eibach would be very nice to have.

 

Both mine and Devons had the EIBACH label and part #'s on them. I guess we got real ones. I wish you guys the best of luck in getting to the bottom of this problem.

 

I don't know man I've owned three sets of sportlines and all of them look exactly like
the one's in your picture.Does anyone have a picture of the same springs with the logo?

 

I'm watching this as well... If for some odd reason those are not authentic, we will have been duped as well.

If need be, please have Dave contact me if he needs to - 763-682-9945

 

keep us posted

 

No problem, and I’m NOT blaming you or you company in any form.
This may turn out that these are the real deal so don’t get to worried yet.

I’ve just seen a lot of post (on other non Cobalt forums) about counterfeit springs being sold and the Eibach web site said to be on the look out for springs missing the Eibach logo…so this brings us where were at.

 

damn - i just won some on eBay, pro kit tho... at least i know what to look for now! def keep us updated homie... hey if you find out they're legit and mine come in and are good too, we could have a "drop day"

 

let me know mine dont have the logo, i got mine from Promotion tuning...

 

No word back today

I'll call them back tomorrow afternoon so we can get down to the bottom of this

 

Hold on a second... I am responding for Eibach Springs.

Sportlines do not have the Eibach Logo, they say "Sportline" only! Everyone please be aware that these springs aren't necessarily counterfeits. These springs look authentic.

All of our Pro-kits are stamped Eibach, Sportlines are not.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

I just wanted to make sure that we were getting the quality product that we paid for. As for your website, it would benefit Eibach to update the FAQ section it to prevent having this problem in the future.

Now its time to install these bitches

 

IP addy confirmed that he does indeed work for eibach. thanks for taking time signing up to the forums and clearing things up for everyone.

since he said that the sportlines are not stamped w/ the logo does that mean that people w/ the logo on their sportlines are fakes?

 

Good question! Now I'm gonna have to pull a wheel and see if it says Eibach or if its just the part # and sportline stamped on it!

Would counterfit springs wrap theirs in that clear rubber tubing too?

 

All pro-kits should be stamped "Eibach", Sportlines should only have Sportline. If you find you have a Sportline stamped Eibach, it shouldnt be. You need to contact us to validate authenticity. As for the tubing, all of your Sportline springs should have tubing to protect coils. Not all springs have tubing but yours in particutlar do.

 

Thank You!!!

 

and he is using an @eibach.com email address so yes he's from Eibach.
Thank you for clearing the situation for everyone. Perhaps you guys can update the website to state this?

I made this a sticky

 

I just wanna thank Eibach for being so proactive in giving the community this information. I bought a set of Eibach pros after reading this thread and use the info given here to make sure that mine were indeed what I paid for. thankfully, they are.

Thanks again Eibach, another cherry on top of your already awesome product.

 

x1000, most companies would not even respond on a forrum like Eibach did. Thats cool...

 

Thanks guys, and we really appreciate the support!!!

 

As a follow up to this thread, we were at Crate Engine Depot for a meet this past weekend where Tom sells the Eibach spring kits. He had a display on the wall of the Pro-Kit and the Sportlines side by side.



The one on the left is a Pro-kit front spring and the right is a Sportline rear. You can see the difference in color and branding. There is no Eibach logo on the Sportline. So, there ya go!

Thanks to Biohazard for taking the picture.

 

Mine don't have Eibach on em so tomarrow is D-day! Time to drop the balt!

 

maybe, we should ask which private labels those are. maybe there are better deals to be made for cobalt drivers

 

counterfit springs. they'll copy anything
