Title: Eibach pro kit fitted
Post by: Paul81 on 30 October 2011, 23:35

Guys, finally bought & fitted the Eibach pro kit lowering springs.

Nice subtle little drop, less body roll, no clearance problems when going over speed bumps.

Also what do you think of the mk8 Polo ariel i "borrowed" from the car at work?

When did you fit them?

Give them a few more days/miles driving and they will settle a bit lower  :smiley:

I bet you will want to go lower in the near future. Good job

Would prefer it a bit lower but can't be bothered with the hassle that comes with it. A 30mm drop means the car is still fully useable. Will look the business when I get 18s & the anni body kit  :wink:

Any idea how low you actually are?

Had a 2.0 a few years ago, dunno wether it was lowered on springs or coil overs but the ride was awful & every time I hit a speed hump right in the middle it would scrape the exhaust  :sad:
