no you dont get ride damp adjusting.

but they can drop to a low 120mm if you want ;D

the ride is firm (some people claim) but mine feels harsh. but corners like a dream

Gambit,

Are you saying the Eibach springs give a more comfortable ride that the standard springs?

I'm happy enough with the handling of the standard springs but would upgrade them but NOT at the expense of comfort.

Are there different types, where did you get yours from?

The Eibachs on mine are excellent and I have just this morning got KONI top adjustable rear dampers from C & R Enterprises that will be going on next week. If they are anything like the fronts you can have them like standard or wind them up so its stiff as a board.

I noticed when I took my boge ones off that the car sat higher and thats with the Eibachs on with both, I assume that different makes of dampers have the spring plate welded at different positions.

Also I carry a tool box, trolley jack and axle stands in the boot and coupled with the 18mm MDF acoustic shelf, that all adds a bit of weight to the rear of the car.

After some research I could only find Eibach's that lower the car 20mm.

Anyone know of some quality standard height springs?
