Title: Now on eibach.
Post by: richw911 on 06 February 2008, 20:56
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:
