[Dansta]

[JJ172]

Eibach Pro kit is about £130 and dropped my 172 (mk2) 15mm fr, 5mm rear

 

[Dansta]

[JJ172]

Got mine s/h for peanuts...fitting was about £80

 

[Dansta]

anyone else\?

Here are 2 cars. 1 has Eibachs fitted, the other does not. Can you tell the difference? I paid £40 to have mine fitted. The drop is pretty subtle but the improvement in handing is tremendous.

At the risk of repeating myself ^^^^^^^^^^

telford mike is it just the springs u got?

 

[telford_mike]

Yep, just the springs. Had a good look at the shocks last month and no problems yet after 12,000 miles with the Eibachs.

 

[172man]

reduce body roll then? Do they just firm it up a bit?

 

[telford_mike]

Greatly reduce body roll, ride a bit firmer but not uncomfortable, and much more composed over roughish surfaces. If you decide to get it done (and in my opinion its the best mod you can possibly do for the money), remember to get your wheel alignment checked afterwards as it will be a bit out.

can like ATS fit them thx

 

[172man]

just rang ats they dont fit JUST springs? only shocks and springs

 

[telford_mike]

Try a local independent garage. I rang round looking for a place to fit mine, I got quotes up to £200! In the end I got a recommendation for a tatty-looking garage who did a perfectly good job for £40.

 

[Dansta]

But does that incluse springs? cos this 210 does, but th guys says it is 30mm drop not 10mmor 15

 

[telford_mike]

£210 is a bit much including the springs. My springs cost £124 inc VAT and delivery, and £40 to fit them.
