Alright guys,
just wanted some advice really?
Whats the difference in ride with the Eibach Sportsline and pro kit springs?
Does anybody use them on here?
:smiley:
-
Pro = -30mm
Sport = -50mm
That's the obvious difference
I had the Pro's together with Bilstein B4 shocks; ride was firm but not back breaking :smiley:
-
sweet! i think i might get the pro's.
ive got 17s on at the moment - think if i got the sport it might be a harsh ride?
-
Yes. a drop of more than 40mm I hear you get issues with your arb rubbing on drive shaft.
-
Well! Bank cards coming out to order some pro Eibach's!
-
Pictures once fitted required :smiley:
-
will do dude :smiley:

Pro's are a more OEM look and come black in colour
Sport kit is more harsh ride and red colour and generally lower

Go back to the police and ask them to take it further etc, or speak to someone higher up.

Sorry to hear about your accident mate :sad:
I've been using Eibach pro kit springs with standard shocks for about a month now & the ride quality is very good, no rubbing or problems with speedbumps etc.
I know richw911 is a big fan of these as well.

I am that ^^^ looks spot on IMO :afro:
-
I have a 150 diesel that I am about to put diesel Anni set up onto. 1 rear spring needs replaced and even with discount at VW , its gonna be near £70 for the 1 spring.
Should I just get a set of the Pro springs and use these instead. Would the -30 mm make the ride too harsh??
Help appreciated here
Thanks
-
What size wheels you running mate?
-
Standard 16" mont 2 's over the winter and then 18" BBS RC's next spring
-
I'm running the same wheels & haven't noticed any difference in the comfort of the ride.
The car takes corners better as well.
Apparently they are the same springs used on the 25th anniversary gti's, not 100% sure on that though.
