Thumbs up

Just had my first proper drive after getting eibachs/strutbrace/geometry done. ( Thanks everyone @ TSL )
What a difference!
Im well impressed with the handling improvement.....
Just a shame it cost me 100 odd quid to drive there and back!
hehe,

you can see the difference when parked next to a standard ride height car.
looks just right...

I have been thinking these will be my next mod, mainly because of the slightly lower ride height, has anyone else fitted them and not noticed any drop at all like jonny gav.
If its hardly noticable the drop, i will save my money.

Last week I fitted a set of eibachs to my bugeye it has lowered the car about 30mm it takes about a week to settle,the handling was more responsive I then fitted a set of whiteline frount & rear braces all I can say is it has transformed the handeling again.......brilliant.

The only noticeable drop on my MY00 was at the front. Maybe 20mm or so.

Handling greatly imroved. They are not really a lowering spring IMO.
