Default which springs?

Having just fitted 18s to my classic it now sits a little high. Am looking at fitting lowering springs, either the prodrive set or eibachs. Any views on these, or others I should look at, prices for supply and fit and good places in the esex area would be appreciated.

Many thanks......

I have eibachs on my wagon, it knocks the fillings out my teeth, cant say what prodrive springs will do though Eibach advertise their springs as improving the ride quality, total bollox IMHO, its harder than a coffin nail but it handles like never before

Eibachs used to have 4 kits & they have now taken the best of all kits & put them into one kit. Fitted many of these & IMHO they do improve the ride, driving characteristics & also lower the car.

On driving cars with prodrive springs, they have been a little too hard for me.

Get to some meets & blag a few rides.....you'll soon find out if the car is as you would want it!

The Eibachs are a progressive spring. Mine have never proved to be uncomfortable or too hard.
