I would be very careful of the Eibach kit as the lengths of some of the springs may be a bit variable. I had mine fitted 4 weeks ago, and they rub on full lock. They were fitted by someone who knows what he's doing in a proper workshop and using all new parts. And they rub. Eibach are sending out some limiter rings, but no-one else seems to have required them, so I don't see why I should have to limit my lock, or have the car off the road again for a morning for no apparent reason. The only other person whose Eibachs rubbed had them replaced, so I'm looking into that now.

Strange that....

Eibachs were fine on mine, and im running Coilovers as low as they go and no limiter rings fitted and no rubbing at all :)

I know - I'm fairly sure there is a defect somewhere.

Just to be different, i'm riding on 40mm drop H&R springs.........
