Got my eibach springs and shocks done today. And its like a new car absolutely fantastic!!! Ive now got an even bigger smile permanently on my face!! I went for -30mm and it looks only slighty lower, like a standard anni set up i think.
Now in answer to leeroys question, Yes you can notice a bit of ride quality loss (obviously) BUT only very slightly. I can not believe how much better this car is to drive now :wink:
I recall someone saying that thay had changed there eibach springs back to standard because " you could feel every bump in the road" I absolutely totally disagree with that!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
