Popular Post Craiglm68 Posted June 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2020 After sitting on the Eibach's for a few months, finally took the plunge and had them done. Tested out at Goodwood yesterday for a morning session and they performed well, ride seems a bit more compliant on the road as well, and I love the look, so all in all a good investment (and not silly ££). Just have to remember that the front splitter does catch on things now....one small chip so far ! 🙂 . And with the sun out you can finally see her true colour! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windymiller Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Looking very well poised on those springs and retro Fuchs wheels Craig 🤩👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrik Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I did hear that the Eibach's weren't a particularly good match with standard Bilstein struts? I went with H&R (only because everyone else does lol) It does sit well & looks great with the Fuchs style rims... Is the colour BRG? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the colour BRG? ##I did a bit of research re Eibach V H&R, reviews on both typically positive, main differences seem possibly to be around post install ride height and maybe feel (the 2 brands are a bit "different" to each other)...my mechanic asked around and recommended the Eibachs. New bump stops, top mounts, seals and one or 2 other inexpensive gubbins, and she's riding lower, and I think more comfortably on the road, as well as sharper on the track (I've PASM). As for colour, unless the sun is shining, she looks black, otherwise it's "Dark Olive Metallic" Edited July 1, 2020 by Craiglm68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liongolfer Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Very nice and aggressive looking. Seems really low. 1 finger height? ARe you on stock dampers? I changed mine last Dec to B8s and R springs. They are fully settled now at 2 finger height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to pair them with r springs like you. How does that setup work? Good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to pair them with r springs like you. How does that setup work? Good? I definitely like them. Slightly firmer than stock but not a hard ride by any means. Gives a more planted feeling overall. Important for me as well is the drop is not a slammed look and I've got no trouble with scrapes. I got them from FCP Euro iirc.

sevenfourate Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 @Craiglm68 About to invest in some Eibach's - i think. Most go H+R....but i've had great success with Eibach's on two other cars. And as i'll be 99.99% road-based i think this is the way i'll go. Can you tell me what drop / kit number you went with - was it a: E10-72-008-01-22 Hope you're well. Cheers - Shuv.

I will have to check the packing they came in Don't apologise my friend. Sounds fun - good day ? Car going well ? **No need on Springs part no now. I've long ago ordered now and should be here any day (Eibach factory well behind schedule with being short-staffed from Covid). Cheers - and a very Merry Xmas to you and yours 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
