Fit a kit to make it 0 toe (rear wheels pointing straight) .

Is there a kit available off the shelf? :)

    Avoiding too much lowness and putting decent kit on actually makes them handle reasonably well and be comfortable to drive.   Shocker!

    Yup! Here was mine between lowering systems... There was a family of Bosnians sheltering under the arches when I got back to the car.

    Took my joms off and put the eibachs on, can't believe how nice it is to drive!! Only thing I'm not loving is the front arch gap!! Please tell me these will settle and go lower??!! Bearing in mind they're used springs too (deffo for the vrs I checked the part number) I'm still hoping they need to settle. The Mrs is well happy with the looks and ride whereas the arch gap is depressing me lol :(

    Wow, that front arch gap is WAY bigger than mine on eibachs, are you absolutely certain that the S/H springs you've got aren't standard front springs with eibach rears?

    Deffo eibach they are marked up and I checked the part number off them. To be fair that's when I pulled it off the ramp and quickly went round the car park,it seems to have settled a little more but still looks bad!!

    If anyone is interested.

    Eibach pro front are 27Nm or 240lbs in

    Eibach pro rear are 23.5Nm or 210lbs in

    Sorry that's wrong.

    Eibach front 27Nmm or 155lba in

    Eibach rear 23.5Nmm or 135lbs in

    Sorry that's wrong.

    What does this mean??

    Weird, mine definitely sits nose down whereas yours looks level, my arch gap at the back is the same as yours though.

    I can only hope and pray they need a few miles to settle then  :clap:
