Eibach fitted!

Featured Replies

Thanks to everyone at JBS for your great service on Saturday fitting my springs and to AndyVrs for coming for a chat and then taking me into Sheffield for a bit :thumbup:

I know they have been reviewed before but

I LOVE THESE SPRINGS :D

For anyone thinking of doing any mod to the fabia Vrs i think firmer suspension is the way to go, the car now handles like a beast and feels so sharp :eek:

I have only changed the springs (dampers are OEM) and had the bump stops shortened and the ride is as good as stock except for the worst pot holes and then it still feels ok but firm.

I probably would have posted sooner but i can't stop driving my car :o It feels so much more poised and confidence inspiring and the way it goes through fast sweeping bends is something else.

Another thing i wasn't expecting is that it has transformed the brakes, the feel and power seems much better because the front no longer squats when you press the pedal.

So yeah you can probably tell i'm pleased :cool:

Here is a quick pic:

I am thinking about lowering my VRS with the Eibachs too, just one quick question - if I buy the springs will it void my warranty if I get them fitted? I have an 05 model bought in June. Thanks

Technically yes! But it's down to your dealer's discretion in the event of a claim. Best to run it past your local dealer to see their attitude is :D

Glad to hear you got them :thumbup:

Nice! And a nice countryside background of mother & calf suckling! :thumbup:

I ran eibach springs on OEM TDI dampers for some time, then with eibach dampers, and they were very good indeed. :)

:thumbup:

With the warranty thing, only the parts directly connected with the suspension will not be covered.....:confused: This is what I picked up after having a Fiat anyway ;) lol

I really want to get mine lowered now, the ride height of the standard Fab is the one thing I cant stand about it!

They sound great, and have very good reviews.

My god - that car is lower than a cows udder ! :D

Glad you like it mate :thumbup:

I think it still looks unmodified (only a 25mm drop), but how they should have made it in the first place :thumbup:

That's only 25mm??? Wow...I wonder what my car would look like with 16s then as I've got a 40mm drop.

Looks good, cant wait to get mine fitted, looks like I Have a nice date in peterborough very soon.................lets hope kims doesnt find out :rofl:

I take it they are the 16's you have Goodas, I wonder what it will look like when my 17's go on ;)

Yep they are standard 16", i'm sure 17" wheels will look great...they do on Walkie's car.

Had 5 people in it on saturday night, felt great around corners and doesn't sink any lower. Had to slow down as people in the back couldnt take the 'g-force' :o

How much fitted?

How much fitted?

Springs cost

I was lucky then with my H&Rs, I bought mine for GBP80 worth and got them fitted for free :haha:

I agree they are excellent, however with every mod you do after a while you want more. Coilovers are next for me :D
