Very nice indeed Gerald, do you get any problems with ARB or wheel arch fouling.

Cat1.4 any more pics please? The drop on those Konis looks very even.

Don't have any more decent pics just now, so here's the best I could find. Hopefully the weather may take a turn for the better & I can get some more soon

 

[pope1]

Many thanks. Car does look good with those wheels and the ride height seems consistent, front and back. Looks like you've still got a reasonable amount of suspension travel too. How do you find the ride with those springs?

 

[chaz]

Droped a bit more from these pictures, esp the front as it was the first day i put them on. 50mm H&R on standard shocks.

Anni PD suspension (eibach springs) not sure of the drop, but it's lower than std sports suspension.

Thank you []

Yes, there is still a reasonable amount to play with which is fine by me, when I was considering getting it done my driveway was a worry because I have to go over quite a steep crest, but there are no problems in that sense at all

As for the ride, I find it fine - not too harsh. The shocks are wearing out a bit now (I lowered it on standard shocks for the moment), but once they're replaced it'll be less bouncey again, as it was when I got the springs on to begin with.

there you go,

Honestly, Honestly...Whats the ride comfort like ?

 

[gerard]

it's still comfy and nice, it's not harsh and bumpy, and thats with the bad roads we have up here

if u were a bit closer i'd give u a shot

 

[MikeP]

Eibach -30mm... great looking, but after the shocks have gone (which they will - rapidly!) the ride will suffer!!

 

[somouk]

Any chance you could PM with some more pics of the bora, it looks sweet. Also, why do you think the springs will wear out quickly?

Thanks

Mart

What he actually said was that the dampers would wear out more quickly, presumably due to extra stress on them because of the springs.
