eibach suspension question
« on: 23 April 2007, 12:25 »
can i ask a favour of anyone with the eibach pro spring kit. i need to measure the ride height against my old weitec springs as i think drop is measured differently by manufacturer. ride height from dead centre of wheel to start of wheel arch

many thanks

my eiback pro measures approx 300-310mm.

My weitec used to measure 280-290mm - way too low which is why I sent it back!

did you used to have the 40ml drop weitec kit? my 20ml weitec drop kit measures 305mm. which as eibach claim is a 35ml drop kit.How strange?

Yep I had the 40mm drop kit, It is supposed to drop 40mm from a std carb model, but it dropped my valver by 40 so it is in effect about an 800mm dropkit!!!

They have there mm crossed somewhere!!
