Default Pic request : Classic with Eibach springs

Currently thinking of a new suspension setup for my Classic 00 Turbo.
I had previously AST coilovers but sold them...
Now looking for EIbach springs with STI IV or V dampers, front and rear roll bars and ALK, :d

I saw some Eibach equipped cars but they looked like low riders, and that's the last thing that I want !

Just had the Eibachs fitted few weeks ago!

Reccomend them!

OK, thanks, is there only ONE type of Eibach spring for a classic, or are there different heights ?
Still thinking about wich dampers to choose...

How the car now Jon, back on the road ? It's about time that give you a visit,

OK my Scoob has the Prodrive Suspension which is Eibach Springs and Bilstein Dampers (they ar the Blue STI stamped ones)

I love the way the car sits - can't comment on what difference it made to the handling as it was fitted standard at Banbury when the car was built.

Nice car, that is indeed a nice setup.
I mailed Prodrive last week but the 1200 £ they still ask for the setup (bilsteins and eibachs) is a touch too expensive for my likings.
After all, my car is 4 years old.

Slightly off track but will the standard 4 year old strutes etc take Eibach springs on their own without any long term excess wear ?
I need my 4 wheel alignment done but if I do the springs in the future I will need to do the alignment again... my motors 4 also

Si, they should take 'em no problem! Had my Eibach's on for a year and never had a single problem with 'em.
Reccomend front and rear strut-braces as well though, the springs, braces and bumpsteer make a massive difference to the performance fo the car in corners mate I can assure you!!
