Another Eibach spring thread

[craigpanthercrystal]

So Ladies and Gents, I need some help, I think I have read every Eibach suspension thread on the forum now but I'm more confused now than before.....

I am hovering over the buy now for a set of Eibach Pro springs but I can help but wonder if I should go sportline. I understand that Pro's are 10mm to 20mm lower...… Sportline some threads say 20mm some say 40mm. I don't think ride confort is an issue either way but arch gap without looking chavvy is my priority.

I think the 20mm area would be ideal so do I go Pro and rish not going low enough or sportline and risk going too low??? Please help

For info its an s3 sportback on 19s, I guess my question is based on what actual drop has been experienced with either choice, any pitfalls etc?

Definitely Eibach sportline for a sportback with 19s. That what I'm running and it a great drop, but not citroen saxo supermarket drop. Rise is slightly firmer but still good. A great upgrade. Need the struts calibrated after aswell.

Thanks Leevr. Could I be cheeky and ask for a side pic. How many miles you done with the sports? Has it sagged much since fitting. Sorry for so many questions.

 

[Leevr]

I've done about 1500-2000 on these springs. They have settled down about another 5-10 mm

Thanks a million. Sport line it is, did you use standard dampers?

 

[Leevr]

Yes standard magride with them recalibrated to the new spring rate and height

 

[craigpanthercrystal]

Would the mag ride be higher than non mag?

 

[craigpanthercrystal]

BTW the viper green looks amazing!

 

[Leevr]

Would the mag ride be higher than non mag?

I believe that is the case, yes. More knowledgable people with give you more advice soon I'm sure.
