As subject me and mate did on Friday night, but I've just been waiting for the springs to settle and for some good weather before I took some pictures.

Anyway here goes:




They are Eibach -35mm springs on the standard dampers.


First impressions of them are spot on as they are firmer, but it's nice and smooth to drive. Also the handling is vastly improved and does stick quite nicely through corners now.

Also the visual appearance isn't too bad either

Hopefully it might settle and drop a bit more too.


Happy now until it goes into the bodyshop

So what rims do people suggest?

Don't say RS4's or RS6's though as I am not a fan.

Not sure which ones you mean, but a pic would be good.

Errr no get your facts right.

The standard dampers are more then up to the task. May wear out a bit quicker then normal, but that's all.
