Post by: darrens on March 09, 2009, 01:45:30 pm: Just got a price of Ã‚Â£195 for the Eibachs fitted plus Ã‚Â£85 for the laser alignment so your price seems about right.

Is there any issue with doing this?

Post by: bacillus on March 09, 2009, 01:54:54 pm: iirc the oem shock needs a certain range of travel to dampen effectively. If your springs drop the car excessively then the damping becomes less effective.
