crazy.gif I bought some of the afore mentioned srpings from ebay at a very reasonable price (Å“40) that i have since fitted. However, although the drop (35mm) is evident the actual ride isnt so obvious....

What i mean is that it is actually still quite soft - noticible over speed bumps tho, but as in not stif as a mother****er! Ive had some SPAX spring before and they were STIFF but these are actually really good. Is this normal for Eibach springs, they guy who sold em said they had only done 2k miles so i dont know if this is a contributary factor...?

Cheers for any help or comments! crazy.gif

i had g-max on my old car(escort), really stiff but far too uncomfortable. the eibachs sound like a good happy medium to me

Thats the point...its not hard at all.

Its like having the standard springs on, just a bit lower to look at and better handling around corners!! smile.gif

eibach springs are mate to ensure a good comfort, similar to stock springs, with a better handling and a slight lowering.
every sport spring should be used together with sport dampers, with or without stiffness adjustment, but made to work with lowering springs. you'd notice a big difference!

Definately not complaining!! I am totally impressed as the roads by me are not exactly in the best of conditions and i get the best of both worlds.

Eibach i love your springs!! smile.gif

I have Eibach springs (lowering 35mm) together with 17s.

The ride is very much like standard in a straight line, and doesn't roll as much on bends and roundabouts.

No not as far as I am aware.

It probably catches evers so slightly somewhere when on full lock parking, but its 100% fine for driving day to day.
