Eibach springs

Post by Shaun1982 »

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

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

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.....

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

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

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

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.

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? :?

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.
