Eibach Alternatives

Post by Tusk » Thu Mar 16, 2017 10:28 am

Hi guys

I need 2 springs due to snapping - Eibach are completely sold out for now unfortunately. Ideally need them on by the end of the month for the MOT.

Is there an alternative set up people are using? Id rather not get a set of KW's due to cost/benefit so was thinking a spring set up would be suitable.

Thanks
Wayne

Hi, I tried demon tweaks but they have charged me and then sent an email saying expected date 4th April unfortunately.

Got mine a few weeks ago from onlinecarparts.co.uk for £134 as I had a -5% voucher. Downside was they took a week to arrive from Germany

Tried a couple from eBay - even when listed as 10 available or whatever they don't stock them. They seem to just go back to the factory and then tell me they are out of stock until mid April.

I've ordered a set of H&R springs - seen a few people run them so hopefully decent.

Got these fitted at the weekend - car feels great! Really pleased with them. Think it sits a little higher than Eibach, but still looks the business.

Need to tidy up my brake pipes now though - new thread incoming...
