Lovely, hot-off-the-press Eibach adjustable coilover kit. I have to say the quality looks amazing (as always from Eibach), and will be interesting to see if they ride as well as Leda, but without the costly rebuild every few months. Nothing but praise for my current Eibach springs, but the standard shocks just dont last with hard use.

Hopefully be trying these out at Donington on Thursday eve... :D

If you want some, get on the phone to TSL fast as these will sell like ice cream on a hot day!!! I *think* they are only for new age at the moment but dont quote me!

Ed

Are you sure there is a track evening on Thursday as there isn't nay mention of it on Donno's website ?????

If there is one I'll see you there, being as I only live 10 miles away :D:D

Edcase 04 August 2003 09:28 PM

Steve - bookatrack.

YHM, come along :D

Steve777 04 August 2003 09:31 PM

No mail yet, but yes I will be there. Won't go on track though as the car is handling like a pig since PPP.

I'll come and time you though !

Waiting to have Eibach's an geo before I take her out

How much are the Eibach coilovers Edcase?

Edited to say...

Just checked their site, £817 is well reasonable!

If they ride and last as well as they look, I think it represents one hell of a bargain.

Sadly not now getting mine fitted for about 2 weeks as I cant make my slot and there is no workshop time now for 2 weeks :(

In time for trax and the ring tho :D

smellyvag 06 August 2003 08:26 PM

£817 is a bargain! I wish they did these for the classic

vulnax999 13 August 2003 12:49 AM

Any ideas when these will be out for the classic ?

Edcase - when you get these fitted, please post a report.. how they feel, handle etc.!!

I too would be interested to hear how they perform, I had eibachs fitted on my MY00 and they were the worst scheiß I had ever had thew misfortune to use, they were on the car for about a month before I binned them and got KW Coilovers fitted and have never looked back, absolutely marvelous :)

In what way are they adjustable? just ride height or what?

did you consider the KW coilovers or not? AFAIK they are around 200 quid cheaper than those eibach units your getting fitted.

Cheers
Steve

HMmm these KWs sound good, someone else mentioned them the other day.

In what way are they adj ustable? These are just height.

vulnax999 13 August 2003 09:00 PM

Wurzel, which KWs are these, and how much, and from where??

Any comments on ride, adjustability ?

Wurzel 14 August 2003 10:22 AM

They are KW variente 1 and I got them from my dealer in Germany he has a few sets of them and a variente 3 aswell I think

As for cost I am not sure can't rememeber, as for ride I have no probs with it, it is a bit hard but the body roll is next to none and it corners like it is a scalextric car.

I also have uprated ARBs and drop links also strut brace so the car is pretty stiff alround.

But I can thoroughly recommend them and AFAIK they are about 600quid in the UK I get 15% discount on the price in Germany so I am lucky I suppose.

Variente 1 is only adjustable from 20 - 60 mm ride height
Variente 2 and 3 are adjustable in damping and something else aswell.
