Lowering plates
« on: 03 November 2011, 08:37 »
Hi guys

As you may already know I have pre 95 eibach springs on my 97 8v

Would these top plates be suitable, to give me that little bit extra low?

Cool, I'm just trying to find out now from the seller if they fit 80mm or 65mm to make sure they are the correct ones for me, he seems to think that they'll fit all springs
