chuds1 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi All Am looking for some advise on which lowering spring kit to buy. Want a good quality kit that doesn't rattle the fillings out ma teeth. Also want to install the kit myself. How easy a job is it and is there any special tooling required apart from spring clamps. Sorry if I'm covering old ground. Thanks for your help Chuds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Very old ground! Have a search and you'll find loads of info. To save time, buy an Eibach Pro spring kit. It's spot on. If you have standard 18s (6 spokes or Rays) then best get an Eibach spacer kit to make the look good! No tooling required apart from the clamps. Best of luck bud!

chuds1 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks for advise Stew. I'll look into the spacers as well, the car is on standard 18" Rays. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 just fitted my tein springs with eibach spacers 2night, been 4a 30mile drive 2settle them a bit, car looks great, not much lower but looks good, still clears the local speed bumps. The drives firmer but not hard, not sure about the handling just yet as its icy out, but feels alot more positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
