Yeah, I've been thinking about going 10mm.

 

Think I'm going to do one thing at time; springs, spacers then arb.

 

I don't want to go too hardcore, just want to dial out that bit of excessive body roll.

Whatever size you choose make sure the fronts are "hub centric" otherwise you'll have vibration/balance problems.

May i ask what made u go with eibach instead of h&r or other brands?

I think I'm going to leave the spacers for a while - I'm happy with it as it is for the time being.

 

Next on the list is a decent exhaust, most likely a Scorpion.

Mainly the fact that it's only a small drop (2cm front, 1cm rear).

 

I didn't want to go all out and still wanted a balance of comfort without being too low or impractical.

Just send an email to H&R in Germany and they will come back to you really quickly with part numbers etc.. for arb and lowering springs..then just Google the part. I bees or pop it into eBay.de and you will get a bargain.. they are a really comfortable ride even fully loaded with ski kit, roof box and 2 kids. Never looked back on my estate. Was so impressed I have them on the wife's Fabia vrs too. 

 

 

 

hihi, did you change the springs only? how about the shock absorbers?

Shock absorbers are standard vrs ones, just changed springs.. they have been on nOw for 35k miles and shocks, bearings and bushes are perfect.
