Got some eibach springs off bigpower(cheers m8) got them re powdercoated and started fitting them last night, got the rear springs done, just need to do the front next.
measured it before and after and the back has come down 25mm, looks ok, but hopefully will look better when the fronts done.
before and after pics

before looking like a ranger rover!



after getting there

spot on mate ive got billys on mine and
eibach springs really good ride ....

 

All it needs now is some rondells

 

would love to max, but my scrotum would be hanging from the interior mirror if the wife caught me spending a grand on some wheels..
the reason, the wheels on my car arn't broken...

woman eh!!

steve

 

Looking good mate.

fronts are easy to change in comparism to the rears

 

true, had to unbolt the outer cv joints, to allow the spring to come out, luckily I have a nice carpeted double garage to work in, didn't finish it till after midnight!
will do the fronts next week.

Steve,
Looks a million times better on the rear!

 

Looking good mate, i put eibach springs and koni dampers on mine last winter, much better stance on the car with them on.

 

steve, get some comps at Ł950 then

 

now perfect

 

just a question, how much are a set of new eibach springs in normal ride hight and 25mm lowered and how much would a second hand set be worth. there is a guy here in australia selling them but his price is on the high side, $750 a set thats about 300 pounds.

 

these are good

Think new sets over here are about Ł150 - Ł180

 

Looks a lot neater now. Time to start worrying about the splitter and bib spoiler!!!

Manage to get the stance of mine how I wanted it,



Just for this to happen on a protruding manhole cover, 2 days before RSOC National Day 05!!



Bugger!! Carbon splitter gone and Bib spoiler holes ripped apart! I was not too happy!

 

c0ss1e9i6 shit that must have been some manhole cover mate, i would have been propper gutted.

 

I still am!!

Happened again about 5 months ago! Standard splitter versus dead badger at night! Splitter is ok but got some holes ripped in my new bib spoiler.

 

o yes much better m8 when the fronts are done the stance will be spot on an escos is meant to have its arse slighty up in the air i much prefer it to being level.. top job and nice looking motor...

 

I have the 25mm lowered Eibachs on mine, feels so much better that way but I can no longer have the front splitter fitted as it would hit the ramp in my work's multi-story car park, annoyingly.

 

Looking good Steve!

 

finished the front suspension last night took longer as I replaced the front offside outer cv joint as it was showing signs of wear.
took some photo's this morning of the finished job, strangely in the photo from the rear it's stance looks spot on where as from the side it still looks high at the front
is it just my eyes?






so to recap I have gone from this...




to this




steve

 

sweet

 

looking good mate

 

 

 

looks good bud, Mark

 

much better mate

 

looks well steve

 

dont let the misses see those pics together, if shes like mine she will invaribly say "it dosnt look any bloody different"
Tho cant fault mine really, i was late home for dinner as i bought an escos today she didnt even flinch when i told her whilst eating my cold dinner. Tho come to think of it that may not be a good thing??

looks good anyhow, my cars 100% standard 1995 36k miles with original tyres and exhaust!!! but i think the one thing i will do is drop it slightly.
