Eibach Pro's

[theduck]

Mr front eibach pro's where fitted yesterday - rears are going on sunday - and I'm amazed how much its dropped by! I have a mk2 ph1 on 15's and the ride height at the front is perfect. Arches are just above the wheels. I'll get some pics up later if I get chance.

As for performance improvement, its already noticeable. I took a corner this morning that I take every day, and normally just scrape round at 40mph with the car stuggling to grip, i flew round it today at 40mph without even thinking about it. I love eibach!

glad you like them mate

** pics!! **

 

[martynh]

Yeah get some pics!

 

[djsly]

How much were they?

How many cm/inch are they lower?

 

[theduck]

it looks like a 30mm drop, will try and get some pics later, too many cars in the car park at the moment!

 

[Gareth]

they are 35mm springs mate.

 

[V1NNY]

cool get them pics up mate

 

[theduck]

R20GRC, i thought they where eibach pro's which normally only lower 20mm at best...

Eibach Pro's lowered my car 20mm at best, sometimes wish I went lower. They make the handling and grip good in dry and although slightly better in wet my car still handles quite poor.
Mine with Eibach Pro's:

they are Eibach Pros, but I think you are getting confused with the ' famous ' 172 / 182 Eibach Pros which ARE 20mm, the ones you bought off me are 110% Eibach Pro 35mm as I posted when selling them.

 

[theduck]

sorry about shocking picture quality, was best i could do with my phone while on a fag break

fairy nuff, well i'm happy with the result which is all that matters! they are prob sportlines if they drop 35mm

 

[_Kenny_]

I think on the box and documentation it says that Pros lower it up to 35mm but a lot of people say you are more likely to go 15-20mm lower.

My car looks lower now than in that pic actually lol

 

[Gareth]

gggggrrrrrr, they are DEFINATELY PROS and they are DEFINATELY 35MM!!! I'll try and grab the original demon-tweeks receipt off my brother as he has my old car with all the receipts.

 

[theduck]

fair enough, definately looks a LOT lower than yours does in that pic, mine looked like that before i put springs on

dude chill, its ok. Thinking about it they MUST be pro's because sportlines are a kind of reddy colour

 

[_Kenny_]

^ lucky you lol! It maybe took time to settle on mine. Jonaldinho's looks lower in his pics as well and he has Pro's

 

[Gareth]

i'm cool lol, Eibach state 30mm on their website but Demon-Tweeks listed and sold them as 35mm from Eibach. So they are 30/35mm. Like you say though, they are a decent level on yours, especially for the front.

 

[theduck]

mine looks even lower than jonaldinhos aswell tho, have seen pics of his car. I can fit 1 finger inside the arches all the way round, it looks mean as f**k. Maybe its coz only the fronts are on at the moment...

 

[Gareth]

yeah, i guess there is more weight being shifted towards the front.

 

[theduck]

I'll get some better pics up on sunday once fred's fitted the rears.

 

[_Kenny_]

yeh could be the weight shifting to the front, should look good tho when it's done - get some good pics up so I can compare and moan to the garage who fitted them!

 

[theduck]

lol, will do mate. Really should give the car a clean, its dirty as an ex-cuddles ***** (probably only funny if you live near birmingham)

 

[Jonaldinho]

I need to get some new pics up soon, Since ive added phase 2 rears, clear side repeaters, silvervisions all round and got a new interior!

As for the Eibachs they are ok but there is too much roll for my liking (Chasing EvilJohn and the 172's is no easy feat! lol). Id have gone for the Apex 40mm kit had they done it for the 52mm Hubs. The visual improvement is immense though

 

[Dooby]

Sorry people, but what the difference between pro's and sportlines?

 

[Jonaldinho]

Sportline's lower the car more than Pro's mate.

Pro's = 30mm Front & Rear
Sportline's = 45mm Front & 30mm Rear

Not 100% on the mm figures though but sportlines definately lower more than pro's.
