Lowering mk3 on eibachs

[kristian]

Just lowered my mk3 on 40mm eibachs, should I have put the plastic covers on the eibachs that were covering the bottom of the original springs? Iv lowered loads of cars and never seen these plastic covers. Thanks

yeah i fitted my eibachs this week and re used the OE rubbers. it stops the metal on metal contact which will rub the paint off and can make noises.

Just seems weird why eibach didn't fit any on there springs? I wonder if we actually need to fit them? Thanks for your reply, they give a Lovly ride well pleased

im pretty sure they do need fitting. think thats why the blue rubber which comes ready fitted to the spring (to stop stonechips etc) does not go down to the bottom coil.

im well impressed with the ride too now. much more supple now.

Springs were from k-tec, the rides excellent just wish it was 10mm lower, il upload a pic as soon as.
