yes, Eibach springs are very good and will lower the car around 30mm, they will also improve the handling without ruining the ride quality

no, they're not Prodrive

20360FA960 P1 front left strut
20360FA960 P1 front right strut
20311SA950 P1 Rear left strut
20311SA950 P1 Rear right strut

They are eibach springs. Came as standard on a P1 and as an optional extra on uk cars.

just my thoughts , i would say it wouldnt lower the car as the springs you have fitted at the min are probably very old and tired . but new ones would improve handling

eibachs state they lower classic's by 30mm+ which isnt true ,

arr right , i was just trying to make the point that a tired old set of standard springs would be the same as new eibach springs
as in the height of your car , but i suppose if you compare a brand new set of standard springs to a new set of eibachs then they would look lower

I've got Eibach pro springs fitted to my classic and I've been very happy with them. They firmed the ride up and improved the handling without too much of a compromise on comfort.

However I'm not sure they actually lowered the car , could have been to do with the old springs being tired and saggy though.
