Eibach springs

[areofall]

Looking a set of 30mm eibach springs for the nova but Eibach say they are discontiuned, does anyone know of any old stock about?

[cunit]

try demon tweeks, they sell them

[areofall]

Not looking dood, no one stocks them, would get a set made but 20 lead time and I wanted the car sorted for easter?

I tried looking for the Eibach prokit for my Nova back in 2007 IIRC. They were discontinued then. I heard that it may be possible with some luck to get some off german ebay but again had no luck.

So I opted for H&R Sport Springs about the same cost as Eibach Same drop give or take and H&R are probably on par with Eibach for quality too.

I put on my car and they are fantastic shame they didnt drop 40 but still cars rides fine handles well and is still comfortable too.

I was desperate to get a set to go with my Irmscher Bilsteins. I had a right job getting some as no where had any in the UK, eventually had to get mine from Germany and they were not cheap(About same as retail price over here). That was a couple of years ago and the exchange rate was better then.

[areofall]

Think I might get a set made and probably run OE bilsteins. though eibach are probably the best.

[Nova_Tek]

If you can get custom springs made to the same spec as Eibach's then that would be cool otherwise I do recommend the H&R's.

Ive got some 40mm rear eibach springs that I dont want anymore, they've only covered about 2000 miles. but I want 60mm rears now.

Going to try this company 30mm drop, standard poundage with OE Bilsteins from eurocarparts @ £170 a set.

Mine too are 30mm with OE uprated spec KYB Gas Shocks. The springs cost me £130.

Are Corsa B springs any use, surely they still make them?

Thats what I though but the Eibach people said not?

[Nova_Tek]

Obviously you will feel the diffrence with stiffness, it was instantly evident when I got in the car. I always had a bit of a doubt in my mind that lowering the car was gonna be harsh as I felt the Nova wasn't he most comfortable car even in standard guise.

But I was pleasantly surprised to find the ride comfortable. So far no complaints with the car and I have even taken 4 pasengers too. Such a shame they don't do them in 40mm drop, would have been perfect.

Corsa's are heavier cars, you can use them but may not give the same ride or may not lower as much as it states due to the Nova being lighter.

Any pictures mate?

[Dod]

I have 40mm Eibachs on my SX paired with soe cheap Gas Shocks and its a great Combo, I'd love a set of Bilstiens to match them although the ride height is little higher than I'd like.

[areofall]

Maybe I jumping the gun a little and should wait till I can get the rear shocks out lol

Personally I think thats a perfect drop, is this your car with the H&R springs?

[The Simps]

Have you tried Courtenay Sport? they may have some old stock?

[Leeboo]

Maurice if I was you I'd go for H&R springs. From what I gather, they are top end of the market just like eilbach.

Yes mate that is the car on H&R springs. Some people may feel that its not quite low enough but it gives you very good leeway for when you have passengers etc without being bone breaking.

:thumb:

I might have a picture of the springs with the part numbers on it. :runs to find picture: ...

[areofall]

Courtenay only stock their own springs for 2.0 L cars now :cry:

[Nova_Tek]
