i have a question i have a set of Eibach/ prodrive springs just wondering will the 30mm drop render the dampers useless and result in the car runing on springs only? does anyone know the lbs rate of the eibach springs??

will the socks last and will they compramise ride and handeling?

P1 springs as they were designed specifically for those dampers!

I might have had something to do with it!!

It should go down by 20-25mm so it's as low as it will run without issues of running on the bumpstops.

Welcome back Mike - haven't seen you on here for ages.

For those who don't know, Mike was effectively the daddy of the P1 and various other cars at Prodrive, so if he tells you that the springs will work you can take it as read!
