hi just got some second hand dampers for my classic 97 from my local breakers for £90 to find they are kyb dampers with eibach springs on them the 30mil drop ones :-) im just wondering has anybody got any pics of them on 17inch wheels to see what they look like b4 i fit just incase there not low enough..cheers karl

 

If you look in My Scooby, you'll get a rough idea of what Eibach Pro's look like on standard shocks with 17" wheels

 

I got eibach's on with kyb shocks as well, but was a bit disappointed to not notice the difference in height

Can't wait to get coilovers and go soooooo low

 

From reading previous threads it would appear that the Eibach springs don't lower the car over standard ride height. They do however make a noticeable improvement to the handling.
The Prodrive sprigs seem to be good at both. Lowering the car slightly aswell as handling improvements.
I like the Teins S Tech as they are 30-35mm [genuine] drop and give me alot more confidence in the handling.

 

am about to fit some eibachs on my standard shocks, but after looking at the pictures i dont think they is an difference to the ride height

 

ture i fitted mine today looks the same as standard....bit let down really...

 

hehe fitted mine as well today , no difference at all now for a geogoemtry setup

 

wonder why they claim 30mm then bit daft consider how much they are

 

You wouldn't, a WRX is about 20mm lower than a UK car (probably sagged to 25mm in 10+ years), so you fitted Eibachs that lower a UK car by 30mm and expected to spot 5mm?

Why do people buy stuff without doing F'all homework before shelling out - never ceases to amaze me!

Not sure what car you have karloti as you have no my scooby!

Hi mate ive got a uk 2000 turbo 97 plate

 

me too
no difference on my00 uk

 

OK, not sure I would have expected the car to sag that much in 8 years, but have you compared your trim heights to book? Is it possible previous owners had already lowered it? Eibach have an A1 rep - and Prodrive springs are made by them, so doubt they would quote a lowering that was wrong...of course they also sell stock replacement parts.
