I have indeed fitted these. Only fitted them Friday though - so a bit early for a write up seeing as they're not settled yet. But so far so good. :)

i know they arent bedded in yet but is there an initial drop in ride height ?

Had an interesting conversation with Tokyo Express on Tanabe springs as he reckons these springs are superior to all the others IHO although his website has Eibachs amongst others. Has anyone got the Tanabe spring set, and has anyone dealt with Tokyo Express? I understand they tend to specialise in Honda but are intending to expand their range to other Jap marques.

They lower overall 35mm (Same as the Eibach/TTe's) so yes there's definitely an initial drop.

It's hard for me to do a before/after comparison because I changed my rims to 18"'s at the same time.

But here's pics of how they looked on the day they were fitted:-

rear

front

Hope that helps.

Eibach's only lower -30mm

[si's_lex]

hmmm, cant tell if they look lower than standard..... how long did it take to fit as my local mech charges 25 an hour for labour

Ah - I stand corrected :)

Took a couple of hours to fit. Tony did a write up of the process here

Big bump to TDI who sorted me out with tein's at a very reasonable price and very competitive.

[marcus]

That dont sound good mate, hope you get what you paid for + the 600 back ................ ;)

who did you give your details too?

[si's_lex]

looks like my computer was hacked or something but it was used for online casino gaming, getting the money back in dribs n drabs from the bank.

just hope everyone else is taking precautions when ordering online.

Also my springs have been sitting in a warehouse for like 4 days so TDI have slapped some asses and getting them delivered soonest for me.

cheers guys

TEIN Springs only, got delivered early this afternoon, 4 hours after ringing up to see where they where... typical but harassing the suppliers works.

[Unregistered_User]

Nice one - what was the final cost on those if you don't mind me asking?

[si's_lex]

[si's_lex]

just had the tein s types fitted, immediate results, looks alot better with the wheels tucked up in the arches, will post pics as soon as the weather clears up.

nearly wasted my money and wrote the car off but fortunately manage to hold the car from going into a field just..... think i have learnt my lesson now and will take back roads a little slower.

thanks jamie

just wondering what to next hmm...... i like the look of these hid kits ppl are going about and also spraying lenses. just not sure with the strathcarron blue colour with blackened head lights n fogs

[Unregistered_User]

That's something I definately intend doing as a low, dark front end will look good in Strath Blue IMO. I've got so many little bits 'n' bobs planned and they keep being shimmied around to accomodate each other lol. Starting to take shape though now (the plans that is).

I think I'll do the heads and maybe the fogs, depending upon how I find the headlights first lol.
