Eibach springs
Gday folks
Just a quick one. Looking at eibach pro kits on tinterweb & some are listing the drop as 15 & 10mm yet other list 25-30 & 25mm rear.
Which is it please? Or is it a one spring fits all & affects the drop by the weight of the engine etc

Re: Eibach springs
I can't answer that for you mate. Although on Monday night I'll be able to tell you if you can put non tdi springs on a tdi though lol

Re: Eibach springs
Can't answer you for sure Shaun, but they definitely have eibach logos in white on my 350z eibach springs so I would imagine it's the same for all their springs no matter what car they are for.....

Re: Eibach springs
Yeah I'd agree then I reckon. In that case I've just had my perfectly fine standard springs swapped for some standard springs off a 2.0 tsi instead. Pointless

Re: Eibach springs
Don't take my word for it though Shaun, maybe someone with sirocco eibach's can confirm. Or ask one of the traders?

Re: Eibach springs
Ok so, let people use this for future reference. The springs were standard tsi springs off a 2010 plate taken off almost immediately so yeah while the extra weight of the dsg seems to be fine,at least for now anyway I changed my perfectly useable tdi suspension for shits & giggles.
I'll run these for a bit then if all still seems fine I'll attempt to recoup the money I've lost selling my standard springs.
I don't want you all to fight over them though lol

Re: Eibach springs
I have the Eibach on mine and yes they do have the branding and part numbers painted on the springs. Mine also dropped as stated, 25mm rear and 30mm front.

Re: Eibach springs
Been looking at a set but put off by the notes section which states - 'Without levelling control.' Does this mean they are not compatible with the levelling sensors on the Roc?

Re: Eibach springs
The ones I ordered stated that too, not sure what it means. I got mine from this German eBay shop, they are a dam sight cheaper than buying from a uk shop.
