Out of interest, I've obviously just paid for springs for my car, (cos you don't get a full suspension for £100). How much do you reckon I'd benefit from a full sports suspension kit? I'm interested in getting the sports shockers too... but they aren't cheap.

I just received my Eibachs and am wondering now why I didn't go the whole hog and get the struts as well from the same place. After Brooklands I will order the Eibach dampers. Think they were £359.00 all in.

That's the guy. Previously they've been nothing but top notch... actually. they've been a little overpriced, but all round the service is good, they do a 6month interest free finance (if you need it, ideal for wheels), and everything they do is covered under their own warranty... previously, no copmlaints....crazydave said:seraph, nice one with your strut brace, good price too

Hi Seraph, had to go for Eibach as nobody could supply me with Apex/Spax/G-Max in time for Brooklands. PI were available but heard some bad things about them.The Eibach dampers are £295.00 see here:-

yea, well today, Richard did not get back to me. But alas, phil has also failed. so i'm stuck with not having it sorted STILL :bang:
Seraph said:

Anybody know which way the springs go on, large fat ones at front or back, skinny ones at front?
the more dumpy ones to the rear and the slimar ones to the front. On mine there is markings to tell you which is which But to make sure take the old one off and site them side by sidebozzy said:

No, dumpy one to front, skinny to rear. Eibach (phoned them) and they said HV goes front (dumpy) HA to rear (skinny). I thought the same as you until I called them.
Trust me when the old ones come off they bear no resemblance to the originals.
also make sure you get them right way up when you fitted them as theres a top and a bottom even though they look the same each end, i fink on eibach there should be a white dot one end so you can tell which is which!

No dot but they said as long as the writing is the correct way up, readable then you got it right.
well at least you know what i mean! I'm sure mine had a dot on it :chin: i supose mine are slightly different though as there -50mm!

Thinking I should have gone a bit lower now I seen yours/others.
bozzy said:
I nearly went for the -30mm eibach but when for the -50mm on a last minute decision! The stilo does sit very high standard! The handling and body roll reduction from the lowering is ace
Although the -50mm is quite stiff, you feel all the bumps i'd say the -30mm is more practical
