Title: Coilovers help URGENT??
Post by: Kam88 on March 10, 2015, 09:11:31 pm

Hello people

Got a chance to buy eibach pro coilovers that came off a mk6 2.0tdi 55mm strut will these fit my ed30 also eibach I know are good I used them before would people recommend this particular coilovers ?

Do I need anything else to fit them like shorted drop links or something like that ?

Also if you could tell me if you recon the rears are genuine eibach as they have no part number or stickers or any sort of eibach markings even thoe they are new

Front has eibach on them but makes me wonder if the rears are actually genuine eibach or potentially just some cheap struts

Yes these will fit your ed30 :)

As to the brand I can't help you with that :( might be worth contacting eibach themselves

You should be able to use the sane droplinks (depending how low you are going) but i would recommend getting some adjustable ones off eBay
