Coupe Eibach springs - Before and after

Introduction

Lot's of peeps were mistaking my coupe for the latest land rover, that's how high it was riding :D Okay so I exaggerate slightly but you get the picure; it wasn't exactly low :p So I fitted a set of Eibach's when I sorted the front wishbones.
Result? Well initially I was dissappointed by the drop, but I have gave it a week and am pleased with with the ride and above all, handling of the "big tipo" :p It's like a different car with fresh suspsension parts and the springs.
I was feeling pretty invincible the day before yesterday when an EVO 7 joined me on the dual carriageway, to cut a long story short he totally spanked my ass up to 60 (He actually overtook my car as I was executing a 5.8-60 on the Computer :eek: ) but about 120 I started to reel him in, untill I was ready to overtake at about 140 leptons.
Moral of the story? To 60 a 4wd rally car will thrash a coupe, but from 110 and beyond my coupe had the edge on a £30k motor. Result (y)
Anyway sorry V. drunk, here's the pics of my lowered coop.

I :worship: my coupe !
I mean, I know it costs me an arm and a leg (ain't that right sammi ;) ) but when you look at it, it's easy to forget the bills :rolleyes:
Nice one Pinin :) - as you probably know, the Stilo guys love the Eibachs as well. The difference on yours really shows through...

So, who is the cool dude driving it? :chin:

I've a friend who has a tuned Coupe Turbo Plus and his bro has a '88 8V integrale running near standard (180bhp 225lbs/ft torque), and across the twisty roads of Wales where they live the Coupe just isn't in the same ball game, but yeah above 100 in a straight line the slick lines of the Coupe will always show, as its a dam fast car, of that there is no doubt, it horses for courses tho. :)

Your cars looking good tho (y) , Eibach are good, I run them on my integrale matched to KONI's adjaustables.

wat a lovely coop :)
Red ones are better (ain't that right sammi and pinin? (y) ). Can't be thinking about lowering mine - just getting it working would be a start for now. You weren't tempted by the FK Koenigsport coilover group buy then Matt?
Oh yeah, your mate sat in the driver seat looks like a failed George Michael wannabe. ;)

Oy Mallet ! that's me in the driver's seat! #I've gotta faith#
You can't comment on me with a sig picture like that ;)
I was tempted by the coilovers but as always those that (unofficially) control the purse strings wouldn't have approved :D
Thanks for all the comments BTW, I have changed a couple of the pics to different angles for you to have a butchers at.

The car definetly feels a bit tauter. Why didn't I go? Cos my coupe's sitting i some strange garage waiting on a new hub and bearing after the wheel nearly fell off again on the way to chester :rolleyes: Otherwise I may have gone !!!
Didn't you fancy it or did he leave you with the washing etc (y)
 
Ahhh riiiight

I just didnt fancy it, and weve got his parents dog for the weekend and i wouldnt have liked to leave the dog for a few hours on her own.

He is on his way back now anyway, he had a good time from what he said, i might go to the next one :)

You not fancy the fourm rally?
