Mark fish springs.

[Šįk]

What's the crack with these?

Can anyone fill me in on them, price, ride quality, drop etc.

Worth it?

PSJ.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Iirc they are for the Trophy, not for other clio's, unless he has some other ones available as well?

 

[Šįk]

Aahh ok that's gay!

can some1 just clarify this?

PSJ.

 

[The Boosh!]

Mark fish setup is for the trophy. I'd love a trophy.

If only I could buy again

 

[Ossie87]

I have them on my trophy. They seem very similar to standard but slightly stiffer and about 20-30mm lower. iirc they were around £475 for all four springs which is a bargain when a standard Trophy front spring is £180 each!!

 

[Jamie]

They're £220 for all 4, not £475 for a set.

just a heads up to you guys,

the 'Mark Fish' springs have the same product code as Regular Eibach Sportlines, so they may not be quite as special as everyone thinks. Eibach did make a specific trophy spring that was better than the standard one, but i think its been discontinued now

^ The MF springs are uprated from the T ones they are plain black in colour the Eibach T springs are yellow

Mine are red... ?

 

[JonC]

Eibach Sportlines are red too......

 

[Beef-Mc]

Thought the Eibachs on the Trophy were yellow?

 

[Fred@BTM]

correct the OE Eibach springs are yellow

 

[shiftspark]

Mine are red... ?

Mine were black

 

[aucky]

Mine were black

On a Trophy?

 

[andy_172cup]

Will Eibach sport lines fit on a trophy? I hear they won't. Also I hear the spring rate for the trophy spring is about 160fp does anyone know what the sportline is?...

 

[Fred@BTM]

^why wouldn't they?

Lol, so the uprated MF springs are just expensive black sportlines?

 

[Jamie]

I'm just going to call to ask him. Probably the easiest thing to do.

Considering my group buy has just finished on Cliotrophy, a lot of people will be able to confirm exactly what springs have been delivered shortly.

Without wishing to sound harsh, Edewer is very good friends with Mr Wills, who is currently trying to peddle his own products on the Cliotrophy forum, having poo poo'd all the MF products recently.

 

[andy_172cup]

^why wouldn't they?

It's just what I have been told, I have just taken the springs off my dampers as there in for a refurb and I need to get some new ones, and really stuck what to get... Eibachs off Reno, sportlines, mf or any others out there.

Sorry to bring the thread up again guys, just been Reading about it. Any advice is a big help tho

 

[edewer]

dave - thanks for the input, but the company who ordered said product in for Mr Wills were the ones who commented on the product having the same code, not Matt himself, so i'm just going by what they said tbh

Thats fair enough, but it sounds like they were simply looking at a set of Sportlines, which someone had possibly fitted to a Trophy (there are a couple of people running them 'for the lows') the MF springs are as follows, having just been delivered to a number of people on the Trophy forum:

As for source of springs, there are no Eibach markings on them and it's a painted finish whereas Eibachs are normally more like an epoxy type finish.

Personally, it sounds like MF is using Faulkner for his custom springs, they are painted, with a product code no. normally etched on the bottom of the lower coil.

Again though, without actually seeing a set, i wont be able to give a definitive answer

 

[edewer]

they'd ordered a set of the 'mark fish' springs direct from eibach apparently, thats all i know.
without seeing a set of the ones in the group buy i wouldnt know if theyre the same?

 

[p@blo]

So whats the product code etched onto the MF 'uprated' springs dave?

Out interest whats the drop on them?
