Running Eibach springs front and Coilover springs rear???

[Rhys Beal]

Following on from my previous thread, I have Eibach Sportlines and Sachs dampers all round at present but the rear sits 15mm to heigh when compared to the front. I think the front sits lower due to the ast top mounts but I am unsure.

My question is, if I was to run a coilover spring and adjuster on the rear to get the extra 15mm drop, will this ruin the handling of my car?
Really I would want to try and match the spring rate with the current rear sportlines which is 40-85N/mm, 354-752lb/in progressive so I do not upset the balance. Would this work with my Sachs rear dampers?
Here is how it is sitting currently.


I understand that the rear of a car is supposed to be slight higher to allow for passengers/luggage etc. However, mine looks ridiculous.

Any help is most appreciated.

I would have a custom set of rear springs made... you can then match / get very close to the correct poundage.

Thank you for that link Gray. I rang those chaps and I can infact have my rear Eibach springs modified to go an extra 15mm lower without cutting etc. Total cost of 2 springs modified, powder coated and returned is £55

Cracking price that! Maybe worth doing on standard sportlines anyway if your after a bit more drop?

Send some new sportlines off. 15mm lower on all, jobs a good'un.

Yep you could do that. Would be £110

Will get my springs off tomorrow and sent off and I will get some pics up of it next week
