Eibach springs

tonytantrum

but isnt lowering springs on the factory shocks a false economy?

thebigmacmoomin

What do you mean?

The Eibachs will lower it 30mm. The factory shocks are fine for 30mm, any lower than 40mm and they will need replaceing.

Csm

Eibachs are ford approved for there standard shocks hence why ford sell them.

A good job would be full new standard shocks and eibach springs to go with it.

Comfort, lowered, peace of mind

focus 4x4

Defo !!!

I have eibach's on my ST170 they only lower the car 20mm, its hardly noticable to the untrained eye but i like it, i like things subtle
