Finally - My vRS with Eibachs and S3 alloys

Featured Replies

Hi all :),

Just thought id put a picture of my wee Fabia after being lowered and one with my S3 alloys.

1st comment on the eibach springs, what a difference :thumbup: the car handles much better and doesnt really ride any worse than standard, im delighted with them! wish i had done it sooner :)

since i was lowering it, i fancied some 17's. after some advice i fancied a set of S3 alloys. wasnt sure what they were going to look like but i guess you wont know till you try :rolleyes:

anyway heres a few pics both with eibachs, i LOVE the wheels, pictures really dont do it justice, i will try and take a few better ones :o

Looks very very nice :thumbup:

With the silver colour it looks like a mini S3 too! Well sort of

Very nice. I put eibachs on my old scoob sport and was mighty impressed with the drop and more so the ride handling over bumps was absolutly no worse. The only question I have is, when I fitted eibachs the cup on the suspension wasnt quite as good fit as the OE spring which seemed to allow a rattle to occur ,especially at low speeds ,on roads of not such good quality say housing estate roads.Is the spring for a fabia an exact fit for the car ,as with my scoob I could only put it down to a small differance in a turbo and a sport. This would be something I would definately consider for my fabia as it does seem to roll about a bit when pushing through a bend

Very nice. :thumbup:

The S3 alloys look a lot better than I thought they would. Thanks for sharing the pics!

Did you change the tyres to 205/40/17 or 215/40/17 or have you kept the std. tyres on from S3 as this will put the speedo incorrect?

I think that looks spot on. Think thats the nicest set of wheels I've seen on a furby.

Very nice. Seems to be a wheel swapping extravaganza on Briskoda at the minute, with some very tasty results. :thumbup:

Yes, yes, yes!

They look excellent, really suit it, agree with John, one of the nicest I've seen on the Furby :thumbup:

Looking good, I think them alloys suit a silver furby really well, I'm not sure another colour would pull it off.

Great choice (well not as good as mine but then I'm bias!! :P)

I think it's the chunky design of the wheels that suit it. Spindly one's dont look as good. These look great!

It's 215/40/17:)

looks very nice, was dupios when i read it but looks a lot better than it sounds :)

Perfect, suit it down to the ground.

I allways knew they would look good.

thanks for your help and advice mate :thumbup:

im glad my initial thoughts of these wheels turned out a good result :)

They suit a silver car don't they - i had them on a Mk4 Golf Gti after having 18" RS4s and they looked good (easy to clean as well), i did notice they were heavy (not as heavy as the 5 spoke Ronal TT wheels though)

Looks brilliant. All it needs now is some chrome handle covers from Milotec

Hi

from what I can tell from a recent check ...... the speedo is not

that accurate anyway........ my car unmodded 5200 miles on the clock

conti sport 2 tyres 33psi front 32psi rears speedo checked three times

speedo 30mph gps 27

speedo 40mph gps 37

speedo 50mph gps 47

speedo 60mph gps 56

speedo 70mph gps 65

speedo 80mph gps 75

speedo 90mph gps 85 *

speedo 100mph gps 93 *

speedo 110mph gps 103 *

the good news is the error is the right way round

* private road / runway 3 Bristol airport ;)

Do Audi do a minging set of alloys? I think not!

Seeing the piccies above got me looking on Ebay again.... :o Nothing really apart from the standard TT 6 spokes.

WOW! :shocked:

They look great Gayle. Absolutely spot on! :drool:

The ride height looks great with the Eibachs too. I think chunky alloys really are the way forward on the Furby! :thumbup:

Bet your well chuffed. Nice one.

:thumbup: I have to agree those wheels look great !, I don't think they would suit a black furby as well but in silver spot on.
