    Default Weight options for Eibach springs

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to order new springs and have been told to go to my car and get the weight options for front and rear. Unfortunately I can't get to my car at the moment and wanted to order the springs tonight as I won't be near a computer tomorrow morning. If anybody has a 2006 vectra 1.9cdti sri, would you be able to tell me what the weight options are for this specific car please? As I was advised - 'if you go to the car, open the drivers door your axle weights will be on the black plate front one starts 1-**** and the rear is 2-***'.
    Thanks inadvance,
    George

    Trim : Nothing needs adding

    I am sure they are 1065 ish front and the rears are all the same on the hatch at 985 if you have an auto it is 1135 front.

    Go for the LMF up to 1060 they will be fine the higher weight ones will sit too high

    Umm......he has PM me back and there seems to be a few others interested (looking at other posts started lol). I have asked the gf if she doesn't mind and she said crack on, get them. So on LMF now, was just waiting on the weights for front and rear axle. Thanks for PMing him for me earlier, appreciate it

    Thanks for all your help. Have ordered both the shocks and springs. Even though some people said in the other discussions to go higher, I ended up going for the 'upto 1060kg'.

    Was going to post my earlier thread but thanks ChrisK for doing it for me!

    I would like to show you pictures of my upto 1060 springs and B4 shocks fitted... but they're still behind the sofa waiting to be put on the car! lol

    I'm sure they're going to look great and will give me the push I need to get mine on the car!!
