Very nice Matt, I will be interested to see how these close the gaps in the arches. I can't decide between Eibach springs or coilovers. This may help me decide.

Thanks dude,
This is how it should sit: 'Fill the massive gaps rightly!'

[Bdringhill]

Yeah, may as well have bought them after Christmas

 

[holmefield]

Were the Eibach springs expensive? I've had them on two cars in the past and the rides always been spot on...

Yeah, may as well have bought them after Christmas

Knew you couldn't wait lol.

 

[Matthew FR]

Knew you couldn't wait lol.

Yeah lol, trying to find somewhere to fit them, someone said it costs like £80 to get the fookin things fitted!?

 

[big eck]

£80 ain't to shabby. About a couple of hours labour.

 

[Jarre]

£80 would be cheap really. If your fronts are like mine on both my Leon's then you'll need new drop links lol. Might be worth buying a couple just incase they're needed (if you can easily return them). I think you could do both rears in An hour though so maybe 3-4 hours labour might be more like it, plus 4 wheel alignment after.

I'm skint at the mo with all the **** I've already bought lol but if needs must I'm sure that'll be grand.

On another note collected my alloys, who wants a picture?

 

[Jarre]

Drop links are only £20 each I think so not too bad. And yeah why not
