You can buy them direct from Nitron or have your service garage order them on your behalf. Either way the price will be the same. Make sure you go with the Eibach springs though.
did you know that the black standard springs that come as standard are Eibach they just aren't stamped Eibach, I have a set of standard black unstamped and a set of red ones stamped Eibach and they feel no different when driving car.And I currently have the red Eibach stamped ones on the Sag.

I was given the option between the two types by Nitron a few years back. I recently had Nitrons with Eibach springs fitted. They are very very good indeed, and change the way the car feels and rides a lot. The standard suspension felt like there was no shock input and it was just riding on springs (if that makes sense). I have mine set a lot softer than many have reported on PH, but thats me.
Personally, I wasn't about to save £200 to see if the cheaper option worked. I went for the best 'standard' option, anything more expensive is racer territory IMHO. For a car with the performance of ours I wanted the best solution that I wouldn't need to fiddle with all the time. Job done.

Exactly the same logic here (albeit on standard Nitron springs). There may be a degree of mythology involved, "they're Nitrons so they must be good", but I'm very happy with them. The car definitely handles better. It feels like the suspension is actually working with the road instead of just bouncing along. Although I think I too will be softening them up a bit, as the roads around West Yorks are just a diabolical pot holed hell!

The standard supplied springs are made by Faulkner not Eibach.
One of Nitron tech guys confirmed to me that they were Eibach springs when a TVR racer had told me and I didn't believe him, Also the said racer and TVR garage who sets his car up helped design the TVR Nitron.though this might have recently changed,
I got my Nitrons with red stamped Eibach springs for the Sag from Power after Barry kindly mailed me the great deal they had on, I believe TVRCC members also got 10% off that price, bloody good deal.
I still owe you a pint Barry
