I am thinking about upgrading to the Eibach springs. I have a MY99 car with 46k on the clock.
Generally what sort of mileage can you expect from a set of shocks as I do not want to upgrade the springs if the shocks will go off in next 15k miles or so.
Also will there be a any problems with wheels rubbing rear arch if I have 17" on
Any advice

Kwack,
Sorry, can't help with the shock life question, but I've got a my00, I fitted the eibachs and am very happy with the outcome, I have my01 alloys with 215/40 17 tyres, I don't get any rubbing on full tilt around corners, or with full steering lock applied, there are a number of people that have gone a lot lower than the eibachs do, with no rubbing. So unless you have a funny offset on the wheels, or you use the wrong tyre siz, you shouldn't have any probs.
