Finally got around to having the Eibach shocks fitted today to add the to springs I had done last year. I am now fully Eibach Prolined up!! The rear tyres were also shot so I replaced them too. Now have a wallet lighter to the tune of £722!
I didn't realise how much the new shocks would reign the car in - feeling so much less floaty now. Had them done at Elite in Rainham - £492 fitted with 4-wheel alignment and adjustments included.
Really impressed and wish I'd stumped up the cash and done the lot much sooner/originally. Not too harsh and still soak up the bumps nicely whilst keeping everything in check.
I didn't give it too much in the corners on the way home as I had new tyres also so wanted them to bed in a bit. Gone for Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's to replace the rear tyres and then switched the wheels around so that they are on the front. I have used them before and they are excellent in the wet and dry. They were £115 each all in.
Now I'm skint. Only the brakes to do now (and maybe ARB's) and still have to fit the S3 lower brace that I have. Then I can start saving for the big turbo kit!
