martinopy Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I got my car lowered last night on eibach springs and also got my new wheels fitted today http://s316.photobucket.com/albums/mm323/martinopy/ Quote
Stew Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Sizes and offsets I should have said as I can see what they are from your sig. Quote
martinopy Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 They're 8.5 x 20 up front and 10 x 20 on the rear. I'd recommend the eibachs for anyone not wanting the expense of coilovers, really nice drop and the ride's not too firm Quote
Stew Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I have them too. Same size wheels also. Think my offsets are slightly more aggressive perhaps. Agree on the eibachs, not going to win a handling comp but a visual improvement over oem. Quote
Stew Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 For those too lazy to click - martinopy Zed with new shoes! Quote
bronzee Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Those rims are looking very sexy on Daytona Blue or whatever you call it over there. Quote

marzman Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Very nice... where did you get the eibachs fitted? ...not that im going to NI, but i never trust local garages with replacing springs! Quote
martinopy Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 Very nice... where did you get the eibachs fitted? ...not that im going to NI, but i never trust local garages with replacing springs! I got them done through a very good local mechanic who does a lot of work on rally cars. I know his work to be 100%. I certainly wouldn't trust it to someone i didn't know cos suspension is something you don't want an amateur doing. Quote
marzman Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 definitely... my brother and i lowered my mk3 golf years ago... but we didnt have spring compressors, so we were trying to do it with some threaded bar, spanners, and some cable ties!! Needless to say it almost killed us when the cable ties snapped, and the spring shot off the strut, smashed the garage lights and dented the tin roof!! I thought i'd broke my hand but it was just bruised. Anyway, looks good buddy. Quote
Stew Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 I wish someone told me that before I did mine myself....... :lol: Quote
martinopy Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah on the order document it says the offset is ET 35. Quote
Mathys Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Really like the wheels! However, I agree the offset would not be aggressive enough for me... Quote
