Drop It Like It's Hot

[waddy]

Looky what turned up this morning...

Get them fitted and then a geo check and the IS will be running 30mm lower :D

[Mr Morse]

That's a bit more like it Mr W! :D

[Pip]

Take some before and after pics mate.

[aido]

Nice one mate :D

Always thought the Eibach's were green, no idea why, it will handle loads better when you've got these on fella!

[Parthiban]

Nice one, how much do these cost nowadays? I've been thinking about lowering recently too - does the 30mm drop hit insurance much?

And as the others said, post up some pics when its done! :D

Got them from eGhey for £130 inc shipping - think they retail at £180 normally?

They are brand spanking too :D

[Adie]

Fair play matey.. the car will look much better lower :winky:

@Aido... my Eibachs were black... Teins are green

[waddy]

Suspension is done - easy job really Matt's guide was a help :D

Took about 4 hours in all - wouldv'e been a lot less if i didn't have to have the nearside strut off twice because i was a numpty and but the spring on upside down . The offside strut and spring were just a ball ache from start to finish, spring clamps put on in the wrong place, then too high, so it was in and out like a ***** in a brothel The rears were actually more difficult than the fronts yet they took less time - weird

The car is definately lower, the springs need to settle though so it isn't as low as it will get when they have worn in a bit. Not quite the drop i was hoping for from the start but as said, it should improve. Handling is definately a lot better, she sticks like the poop to a blanket in the bends now

Before

Dirty old offside rear spring

Erm - trolley jack

New spring

After (still needs to settle though)

From the pics the ride height doesn't look any different at all - I keep telling myself it's going to settle. The handling is a massive improvement though - which is what it's all about :D

[MrADeveci]

It will settle mate ........ mine took a few weeks, the car looked lower each day I went out and looked at it !!

You'll like it much better ........ well done ! :D

[Mr Morse]

Loads better mate!

[Parthiban]

After (still needs to settle though)

Yeah that still looks a lot like my car does now, but it would be great if you could post up some pics in a few weeks when they've settled a bit cos I'd love to see what it looks like with the standard alloys on..... :)

[Bulldog]

TBH m8 the Before pic the car looks pretty low there

[waddy]

Front is a bit lower but the back still seems high - am going to be super p1ssed if this is as good as it gets. I need to park next to a standard IS to see really.

[aido]

Mate if you want just pop to mine and compare the height to my IS before she goes in the next couple of weeks!

She's fully settled!
