Gonna need it....it's a liter bottle

Remember to crack off the front susp turret nuts first while car on ground (don't undo all way) if you can't shift em I used a ring spanner and a Allen key socket on a 3/8 ratchet

Im usually all for doing it myself but I managed to get a garage to sort it for £100 all in, including tracking etc. and I don't think Tesco would appreciate me using their car park to jack the car up and drop the suspension, also the 2 hour parking limit may be to short...

Not to bad that not very nice weather to do it in anyway

Arrived today...getting fitted 9:30am Saturday, before and after pics will be up Saturday afternoon depending on how far I get into a bottle of Jack Daniels

Did you get your springs fitted mate? Got any pics? I want to see how it looks, thinking of going down the same route as you

 

[leegreenaway]

Will take pics when it clears up a bit bro, its pissing down at the moment lol....needless to say the ride is a bit more stiffer, feels nice and tight its going to take a week or so for it to settle in

It's sitting nice as well, still on 16s at the moment but a nice set of 17 or 18s would fill the arches lovely

 

[leegreenaway]

Well...because I was stupid enough not to take a before picture properly you'll have to make do with this from when I first had it lol

Before

After

Springs are meant for 35mm, wont get that on standard shocks though but its sitting nice at the moment....see what its like when they get worn in a bit

 

[ibizaboi]

Looks really nice and subtle!! I really like it

I have these springs and I noticed there was less sagg on the rear end when you floor the throttle so more power to the road!

Think these May well be on the list for Xmas

 

[nathan_20vt]

I've got the Eibach Sportline springs and standard shocks, would recommend this set-up

Standard set up

Eibach springs

What drop have you gone for Bruce?

 

[bruceR]

Not sure what the final drop is Will get a photo with a ruler next to arch for reference

 

[nathan_20vt]

I want to fill my arches (got standard 17" starfish wheels) but don't want to go too lows and end up with rubbing driveshafts. I want about 40mm but been told they will rub....

 

[leegreenaway]

Got about the same drop as the eibach so not too bad for £90! Got my eye on some new anti-roll bars, strut brace(s) and uprated front shocks in the new year....should be fun

 

[nd-photo.nl]

Drop looks exactly right!

 

[leegreenaway]

Oh and wheels :-D

 

[nathan_20vt]

Any rubbing driveshafts with your drop? Is it close at all?

Shouldn't get any rubbing with the Konis, I ran the springs and dampers which gave a 35mm drop on normal Leons, (so around 25mm on a Cupra) for years with no issues.
