Question Eibach springs best??

I want to lower the suspension a bit....not much money, so looking at just changing the springs. I'm told that Eibach are the set to get, any opinions?? Are they worth the £40-50 more than other sets on the market??

I would like to know also how much of a pig these are to fit, have been quoted 160 quid by power engineering plus another 102 quid for full geometry setup, wonder if its worth doing it myself and not bothering with the geometry setup

Advice gladly accepted

By all means fit them yourself.Only basic spanner skills & the loan of a spring compressor needed.Be warned not all have found it easy. SEE HERE

And if you dont get the geometry done you will loose more than £102 worth of tread off your tyres.Plus you will miss out on the full benefits of the better handling that the springs will give you.

You will reap what you sow.

I had my springs & geometry done plus some 18" PFF7's at Wilson's recently.

Just wish I had done it 10K ago.
