R53 - eibach springs?

[darren9]

I'm thinking of removing a bit of arch gap but don't have much of a budget.

I don't want to run at a "stance yo!" Height and I'm not running on track - though I do often enjoy a "spirited" drive. Coilovers seem far too expensive for what I want.

The eibach springs look good and are well regarded amongst other marques.

Does anyone have any experience of running them? What are they like day to day?

If they're awful I'll just stick with standard. It is a great handling little car and the last thing I want to do is upset that.

Thanks mate. That sounds good - I checked on minitorque and all I could find was people who wanted to run dhead stance yo low.

From what you've said the eibach a will be perfect. I might change to new standard dampers too. Just to make sure it's all fresh.

Yours looks really smart. Nice usable height from what I can tell.

That's what I was thinking. I can't spend a grand on new suspension components and I won't get the use out of them.

Cheers mate.

I did consider the JCW suspension but I've swapped to non run flats and have read that the JCW suspension should be used with run flats only - I'm not keen on going back to run flats as the continentals we have on there now are excellent.

I can't justify the cost of coils - especially not KWs (as much as I'd like to) looks like I'll be sticking with standard if springs are that bad.
