I finally got my hands on the Group Buy Eibach springs and spent the day fitting them today. With the help of a mate it only took us nearly 9 hours to fit, yes 9 long gruelling hours :duh: Both of us had not done this kind of work before and were well pleased once we had completed it.
I am now sitting 30mm lower and I must say it looks superb. Have lost a little on the comfort, but the handling, especially round corners is fantastic. It looks great too. If you're wondering whether to lower your car or not, I would recommend that you got for it. :winky:

Will post some 'before and after' piccies soon.

They were part of a Group Buy deal arranged by one of the moderator blokes on here. :D

I know, but, DaveEllen, what car you got - is it in the Gallery? I am from Beckenham, if you drive to Bromely, do you live round there - haven't notice any major cars!

I'm not that impressed with the Eibachs on my '98 GS. Looks better and corners without as much body roll but lost some of the comfort and doesn't sort out the crashing over bumps that the original car suffers from.

I test drove a GS430 yesterday on the Lexus Open Road event and that was much better. I guess the suspension has been stiffened on the 430 and that with a combination of better shocks and the 17" wheels made the car feel much more solid and stable.

If you want to change your springs I would recommend upgrading the shocks as well. I have read a few comments from people in the US who suggest the same thing.
