Question

Hi guys,

I've just bought myself some Eibach springs from NAM. I was wondering where I could get them fitted nr Livingston.

I'm getting a set of tyres as well, but wondered if I need to worry about getting the geometry check on after the springs are changed.

Im also wondering if geometry check needs to be done after lowering the car, i had it reset about 6 months ago.

Ozzy give Marc a ring on 01698 375789 he will sort you out, tell him Ian sent you BTW he is based in Wishaw a little bit closer to Livingston i think.

Are you from Livingston? Would be interesting to meet up once your car has the Eibachs on it to see how low it is compared to H&R which is going on my car (big debate about this a while ago).

Hi Ian,

I only work in Livingston, but I hail from Cleland, only a couple of miles from Wishaw. If your man Marc can sort me out it would be even handier than travelling to Perth (thanks Sasim) or even Falkland in Glenrothes.

It would be great to meet up once I've had the springs fitted.

Cheers,

Stefan

Lo Derek

Yes the springs are now on the car, they are great and the car now has a purposeful look Havent had it next to a std scoob yet so dont really know how much lower it is, although you can tell its lowered.

BTW were you at crail on sunday?

Ahhhh....i see.

I didnt have the scoob up on sunday, i grabbed a lift with marc in his skyline. Wish i had tho coz it wasnt busy at all and coulda done some runs while the regulars were still getting to grips with the lights. The new staging is good but the waiting time once you are staged is kinda different each time......saw some bikes waiting for about a minute to begin the sequence, then others not having to wait at all.

I may go up on the 11th if the weather is good, and finally get it on the 1/4

Ian

BTW Nice figure of 8's at the exit
