Shocks and springs- a few questions.

Post

Back to the top
Put on all my new goodies. Sach gas front shocks, sach oil rear shocks, new febi front mounts and bump stops and the eibach -30/40mm springs. The car feels like a totally different car now! Its ace! My spine no longer gets compressed 10mm every time I go over a pot hole or speed bump!

I'll get some pics of the ride height. Its the perfect height for a car that actually gets used IMO. Pretty much the same as what I had the coilovers set to. A sporty look, but not slammed.

Glad you got it all sorted out and fitted, you will find the car will settle a bit lower over the next few weeks as things bed in.
Now go out and enjoy the ride without back ache and everything rattling in the car when you are on a rough road! :thumbs:

AW cr P . I have rubbing :( what are the long term issues with this? I might remove the 6mm spacers in the rear.

I don't want to roll the arches because unless it has been done professionally it can look white IMO.

Yeah, new eibach for £161 off eBay. I found them for £155 on euro performance or something, but wasn't sure if they would get to me in time.
