You can get damping adjustable coilovers but they will a lot more expensive than the eibachs, which for the money are pretty good in my book, standard dampers and springs really are built to a cost, so any upgraded damper should give an improvement. I was worried that the coilovers would give a harsh ride but there's nothing in it, if anything the eibach coilovers are better

If you ask me now, I would say that the ride is the same apart from the rough edges of the standard suspension are smoothed out.

ie you hit a rut or a lump in the road and the Eibachs smooth the trainsition better at both ends of the change in road surface, whereas the standard suspension jolts more at each end.

My sachs coilovers have 12 clicks of damper adjustment  :nerd:

They are the ones you won aren't they?

How are they?

Yeah, loving them :)
Improves the car no end imho.

The ride height is a little low, as I said the front splitter is 11.5cm and that only gives me 1.5cm clearance over speed bumps (assuming they are built legally  :rolleyes: with a max height of 100mm). So I might consider raisin them a little.

It makes the car look a lot more agressive and I parked right next to a standard Ed30 the other day and it looked like it was on stilts.

....That backdrop of high tech looking buses is great imo, plus the modern(ish) architecture behind - It's all in style. [I used to be an Art Director]

This is our Fan(ny) Bus over at BIALI Motorsport :evil: : -
