14N Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Hi All, As per title, I'm after a set of Tein lowering springs with the 14/17mm drop. As mods go, I know they're not exactly megabucks new, but just thought I'd try on here in case any of you guys had a set lying round after maybe upgrading to coilovers etc. Traders, please feel free to PM me with prices if you carry these in stock Cheers, Ian Quote
coldel Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Cheapest place I have found is camskill at circa £130 Quote
14N Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 Cheers guys . I had found the Camskill ones, but thought I'd try a post on here 'just in case' . I don't think the Camskill price can be beaten though. Quote
TomS Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I went with Camskill in the end, looked around for a while but nothing came up. I've still managed to scape my new V2 front end coming from Eibach springs Quote
14N Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 At least your V2 front end is still attached Tom - It may not have been if you'd stuck with the Eibach's! Quote
TomS Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah I'm glad I changed, I do miss the lowered look of the Eibachs but running the skirts I've got on now they'd be half gone in a week! You won't get the rubber mounts with the Tein springs, I had to buy a pair from Alex for ~£47 as the ones on the Eibach springs were stuck in them. Quote
14N Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 Cheers Tom. I'd love to lower it 30mm, but as my Zed is my daily drive, with speed bumps and pot holes a daily occurance, I think I'm gonna have to compromise looks for practicality. Oh well... Quote
wls350 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Cheers Tom. I'd love to lower it 30mm, but as my Zed is my daily drive, with speed bumps and pot holes a daily occurance, I think I'm gonna have to compromise looks for practicality. Oh well... I dropped mine 30 mm And im so far impressed, speed bumps are not an issuse. Its a slight compromise but well worth it in my opinion Quote
TomS Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 With OEM bumper/skirts on Eibach's I only had a few issues over the square speed bumps. I wouldn't dare run Eibach's with a lower bumper/sides. It does look nice though Quote
dave1221 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I went with Camskill in the end, looked around for a while but nothing came up. I've still managed to scape my new V2 front end coming from Eibach springs So is the V2 really low to the ground with Eibachs fitted? Quote
TomS Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I didn't have them on at the same time but I've already scrapped my V2 with Tein's on. On Eibachs I scrapped the OEM bumper a few times and one of the skirts going over one of those stupid square speed bumps. I think the V2 is the same height off the ground as OEM, it just sticks out further from the car so it's more likely to catch the ground. Personally I bought the Tein's when I knew I was going for the V2 as I didn't want to risk taking the nose off within a week. I've not even gone over a speed bump yet! Quote
