Ben, Are you finding a big improvement in handling. I'm tempted to go with some Eibachs but am also worried about scraping over the many speed bumps round where I live!

yes mate, the ''boaty and twitchy rear end feel'' has been eliminated and it feels so sharp and responsive now.

it actually feels like it wants to go round the corner rather than needing to.

thats the one thing i hated about the car, the heavy boaty feel down the back lanes but it's improved so much now it's unbelieveable

they are designed from the factory to go onto strandard shocks fine aswell which is a bonus

I agree mate, it didn't sound particularly loud on the dyno, either.

Huge silencers ftl

Not that I can talk with my 12 valve's pea shooter

i could just chop the silencer off, but my mate did that on his and it sounds just a little bit loud absolute hell on wheels under heavy acceleration

TBH with a make like Eibach and the good rating they get,id be chuffed to bits even if it didnt lower it by much,yet made the handling and driving much more rewarding like you say they do.

yeah knocked it out a bit as the tyre was rubbing on a metal clip attached the the shock. need to get 4 wheel alignment done really to get the best out of them and to not shred the tyres

need to get the xenons reset aswell as they are pointing right down and can't see shit at night
