Eibach lowering springs
I've decided my next mod is lowering. I've been recommended Eibach which lowers front by 35mmand rear by 25mm. Anyone any bad experiences of Eibach? Already have Whiteline 24mm ARB and solid droplinks. Thanks

have them on my MY00, much more compliant than the originals, the 17" wheels sit nicely in the arches, been on the car for 8 years and 40k miles and still working well.

Get yourself a rear arb first mate.
I had the springs done first with geometry, which made the ride harder, car rolled slightly less and looked more aggressive.
Made a difference, but nowhere near as much difference as the rear whiteline arb IMHO - and the latter is a lot cheaper for a start mod IMHO

Anyone had problems carrying out height adjustments, screwing the collars up/down?
Both my rear ones are super tight, even with a spring compressor to lift the spring of it...
Meticulously cleaned the threads and used screw thread unlocker/lube
