Team Sahlen will be partnering with Eibach 2025. The campaign will work to educate and inform the endurance sports car racer of the benefits of converting their cars from using stock to Eibach springs. Team Sahlen has been trusting and utilizing Eibach Springs since the team 1st debuted their Porsche Boxsters in 1999. And in that period of time the team’s Boxsters have become known around the paddock as one of the best handling race cars on track. And the results have certainly backed up the team’s handling reputation with has racked up a large contingent of 1st Place finishes as well as the 2024 Midwest Series Title.
Will Nonnamaker with Team Sahlen shared his thoughts – “Many 1st time racers in Sportsman Endurance Sports Car Racing do not realize the huge gain in performance they can make just by simply changing out the stock springs on their production car with a set up Eibach Springs. At the track and in social media, we hope to assist in educating the racers in these benefits.”
And Eibach’s offerings are not just limited to Springs that fit stock perches. Eibach has a full line of Springs for coil over suspensions. This includes Tender and Helper springs to get that extra level of stability through the turns. Additionally, there is a full range of Aftermarket Swaybars to fit up to many of the past and current production cars on the street and track today.
Allen Wells, Manager for Team Sahlen shared his excitement – “We have been riding on Eibach Springs for over 5 years now. And with the long, long endurance races of 8 to 14 hours, we put a lot of stress on all of our suspension components. Yet through all of those hours of racing, we have never had a Eibach spring fail or loose it’s spring rate. We are excited to be adding Eibach as one of our partners for 2025. Working even closer with Eibach should only assist our team in continuing to fight at the sharp edge of the grid at all of our long endurance races.”
Team Sahlen will kick off their 2025 campaign at the Daytona 14 Hour Enduro in April with the Tire Rack – ChampCar Endurance Series. The #942 “Ketchup” Porsche Boxster will be piloted by Joe Sahlen and Will Nonnamaker. And the #943 “Mustard” Porsche Boxster will be piloted by Joe Nonnamaker and Wayne Nonnamaker.
