Eibach Pro Kit springs now fitted  :grin:

They don't lower the car as much as the VWR springs, I think there approximately 5mm higher in the front and 10mm in the rear which doesn't sound a lot but it does make such a massive difference to the general ride comfort.

I would say the Eibach's ride nicer with the horrible Bridgestone's, than the VWR springs did with the softer Contis.

There is still a firmness to the car, but its less harsh and feels more OEM+ now. The Eibach's IMHO seem to work better with the DCC dampers as if the springs rates and damping are more in tune with the car for all three settings. Turn in and general handling are just a little bit sharper than stock.

Overall I'm now very happy with the drop and performance.

Sounds good, glad you've got it sorted and are happy. Fast too!
