Urgent question for eibach springs owners.

[Rob_02cup]

I won some eibach pro springs on ebay the other day and collected them on sat. They are boxed and have the code on them which states they are for a 172 cup (my car).

Ive taken them to be fitted today at my m8's garage only to look at the rear springs and find the supposed eibach ones look longer!

They have 5 coils on them and the ones on my car now (im guessing standard) have 4 coils?

Both sets of springs are black. Im beginning to think ive bought a set of standard springs in a eibach box.

Can anyone who has eibach pro's fitted on their car help me out???

the eibach ones should have a part number and the eibach logo or similar on them i'd of thought

Serial number on spring: EW 7514001VA

they're a progressive spring... so need more coils to perform well.

These are the springs ive bought, and dont look as progressive as the ones in the earlier pic.

Nor have they any markings or codes on them anywhere.

Looks like they are standard springs but god knows off what model???

What do you all think?

these are a control spring as opposed to one that lowers the car significantly. If its the lower look your after, these arent for you. Go for eibach sportlines.

So you do think these ARE eibach prolines then?

If they are im fine with that , i was worried that id bought standard springs which were described as prolines.
