Eibach coilies finally fitted!!
« on: 13 August 2008, 17:00 »
Finally got the Eibachs fitted today :cool:

Not lowered by much as the drive and speedbumps around my way are horrendous.

I must say though, the difference between the standard and Eibachs is superb. Been out for a blast in the car and I could tell straight away that there was more control AND that it soaks up bumps a lot better than standard. The ride quality has actually improved and traction is better too. VERY IMPRESSED.

Whilst they were fitting them I went for a walk to Gilders and saw this:-



The first Pirelli I've seen really close up. I don't reckon much to the seats and yellow stitching but I'd have the alloys please!

They also had a 3dr white ED30 DSG in the showroom and were still advertising them :shocked: :shocked:

Also found out that Gilders will have a Scirocco in the showroom from the end of next week :tongue:

Here are a few more pics. I thought it rude not to get a few pics whilst the car was up on the ramp. The last one really shows off the Milltek and if you look carefully at it you can see the ARB.

£300......originally! :angry: I bought them off a guy on here and the rear dampers were leaking slightly, so had to wait for new dampers and then fit, so cost £700 fitted.

At a guess :rolleyes: this site does them for £644.26

I think the ride height is just right.. esp if it will settle a little. Judging by the picture there is no one in the car either. Nothing worse than a car that is riding too low :smiley:
