Eibach Pro damper and Eibach Sportline springs

I've had Eibach sport line springs on another car and found them rock hard...?

Thanks... A few options for £300... Any recommendations?

 

[Mr OCD]

So...

I'm going to have a ride in a coilover equipped LC and see if it is for me ... otherwise it will be the shocks / springs route ... but for an approx 30mm drop I would suggest shocks/springs would be more suited?

 

[ReDBull]

I think that's what I'm going for, compliance.

Indeed... everyone is telling me Eibach pro springs ... but no idea about shocks.

The best shocks for the Eibach Pro springs are the Bilstein B8 dampers but they're a lot of money

I have the Eibach Pro Kit springs with new OEM dampers and definately recommend. Stable at higher speed and handling progressive, has an OEM feel when driving normally. I'm in the Bristol area if you are anywhere near, can take you out if you are.

Will take a look ... although the AP's look good for the money?

New OE dampers are what £250 alone?

Cheers but I'm in Manchester area

 

[petey085]

Yes mate, around that price, maybe a bit less. Just depends what your considering really. Well if you ever are in the area drop us a shout.

 

[Mr OCD]

DPM have suggested AP or Vogtland suspension kits... £245-£280 all in...

Cheers Damian.

I think for approx. £300 the AP sports suspension kit is likely the best bet.

 

[Mr OCD]

Decision made... AP suspension kit it is ...

 

[Dione J]

On my 2nd Leon and Weitecs all the way had Weitec on both cars wouldnt look anywhere else

worth sorcing a rear ARB now

No problem mate.

TBH I'm thinking of doing the ARB first... drove the car 'spirited' last night and didn't find the suspension lacking. It does roll though under hard cornering through roundabouts for example. The standard suspension is pretty firm

£200 for a rear ARB though? - why so expensive?

 

[DamianPM]

We have rear ARBs for £168.00 delivered.
