My springs were changed after 7.5K km.

Checked the front OEM dampers - you can compress them with a fingertip pretty rapidly, they stay all the way down, and you can lift them between two fingers to fully extended.

Seems like they could use viagra or summat....

My VRS has had eibach springs for about 25k on OEM dampers (i bought the car at 23k, so i've done about 3k with the eibachs). It's just passed the first MOT with no problems. Paid someone £70 to stick the standard springs back on, and he couldn't see any problems with the dampers. I've got to say i much prefer the car without eibachs! Much more comfortable!
