They are Eibachs.

No idea how old. I got them off an old forum member who isnt around anymore.
I believe they are 60mm drop but could be 40mm, again I dont know.

Money is not a problem getting them to you is!
Plus atm somebody else has jumped in! :grin:

I didn't think Eibach made 60mm drop springs for the mk3. Only 30mm Pro sport & 40mm Sportline.

So whats the deal, have these now been sold mate?

They are all good springs and will be better than factory.
Find out what type has the softest rate and go for them. Got to keep the women happy.

Best advice ever.

Getting such a bollocking at the moment.

After a good chat with John at C&R yesterday he recommended the Eibachs as been a good set to go with my Weitec struts and said that it wasn't uncommon for people to mention the spring rates on the Weitec springs i had and that they made decent kits but weren't quite right for the mk3 Golf.
