Lowering Springs

How about a few piccys of that C70 on those Eibachs?
I'm currently looking at saving those pennys for some along with new shocks

The R springs will fit as a direct replacement and they are meant to be 25mm lower than the standard t5, cutting the coils off do not make any difference to the handling only the height, As they were progressive springs the coils that i cut off were squashed together when the car is on the ground.

i know its a different kettle of fish but when my bro fitted Spax -40mm springs on his old Nova it actually dropped the car -55mm

why not???

i phoned kalmar for a price on eibachs and was quoted £180 all inclusive and delivered to me, vt wanted about £210, don't know if that included delivery so kalmars prices seem very good.

one thing i've noticed getting prices from anyone is how long it takes to get a reply to emails. i sent a couple of emails to both vt and kalmar but no reply even after a week, in the end i had to phone them.
