I bought myself an Eibach Pro Kit from one of the site sponsors - @DPM. Firstly I'd like to say Damien is a great guy. He was more than helpful throughout the process and even gave me a little discount. Thanks again!
So anyway onto the business I got the springs fitted by a garage earlier in the week. What with the lovely weather today I decided to put my new alloys back on, get the tracking done and give the car a wash.
I'm over the moon with how the car looks and feels. I wanted a subtle drop and to keep the comfort and handling, the Eibach pro kit does not disappoint.
Handling wise the car is superb and you really feel like you can power out of bends much quicker and it corners flat with minimal body roll. It even feels as though overall acceleration has improved (due to less body lurch / movement under heavy acceleration I guess?). Comfort wise I am also very pleased, loads of people tried telling to me to get coilovers as springs would ruin the comfort etc. I can honestly say it hasn't in the slightest. It handles speedbumps and varying terrain like factory.
Here's some pics of the car anyway:
Arch Before:
Arch After:
And an obligatory reflection shot
To also add, It's definitely worth getting the alignment done after a job like this, mine were massively out in some areas. Unfortunately the front left wheel couldn't be fully corrected, but the garage assured me it wouldn't be an issue, Top is before, bottom is after a Hunter 4 wheel alignment:
Any questions or comments welcome, Thanks for looking!
