Thumbs up

I had it fitted to my old car. In my humble opinion, it was fantastic

The struts and springs seem to be well matched, car was just as comfortable over most road surfaces, and the body control (especially though higher speed corners) was much better than standard. Gave a big improvement in driver confidence.

Sets have been sold for about £500 - £600 2nd hand, and worth keeping your eye out for.

I had Eibachs fitted at Powerstation a couple of weeks ago and had the bumpsteer mod done aswell. The car did sit lower but not as much as I would of liked. The Eibachs are good springs for every day driving not too soft and not too hard. I normal driving is all you do then fine go for it, but at Castle coombe I found they rolled like buggery round the corners and the tyres were squeeling like little pigs. Coilovers is my answer - thats when I get the car back from slamming it in the tyre wall, DOH!!

see below (should be a link)
