New suspension fitted.....

**jamesy** · 6th April 2007, 21:07

.....got my new Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks fitted last night.

The handling is awesome - and it has got rid of all the probs i had by fitting the wrong springs (funnily enough!!)

It now sits a bit lower than it did on the old springs at the back, however the front is a bit higher than previously - the car itself is now level, however i really wanted the front to drop a bit more (is this likely when the suspension settles down or is this the height it'll stay at?)

Am absolutely delighted to have the full kit now fitted!

Thanks for all your help before!

Thoughts?

Looks superb, balanced as well.

Don't think the front needs dropping at all?

i think that ride height is spot on!! feel sorry for your front spoiler though....it almost looks worried in that last pic!

would've liked to have seen your face when you got out of the car to see how much clearance you had! would've been a picture.

cheers fella's - i am well chuffed with it - maybe its due to me being used to the front "slammed" that i wanted it a bit lower at front? the more i look at it though the more i get to like it.

do the springs drop anymore though after a few hundred miles of driving?
