If I were you I'd just shop around local Eibach distributors for a good deal on supply & fit. It may cost you a bit more but it will be a simple, quick and stress-free exercise. You won't regret it.

Personally I think pretty much all springs / shocks from OEMs will be biased toward a softer ride rather than sharper handling. Aftermarket springs only exist because the OEM ones don't satisfy those of us who like to drive and are prepared to fork out for a good product.

cost a bit more is a understatement.

try 550 JUST for the Springs and that was at least 2 years ago. with the rate of inflation and companies using the petrol as an excuse to increase prices i wouldnt rule out that, that price has gone up. Not to mention i was only quoted on SUpply. Not install.

I got the springs from here http://www.european-parts.net/catalo...roducts_id=472
(AU$280 incl. shipping). It'll take about 3 weeks to arrive.

and you can just take them to a suspension shop like Pedders or Midas. Some exhaust shops also do suspension works. They charged me $150 for the install.

280 + 150 = 430...

yeah, was thinking of going euro-parts.net. it makes sense. Unless you're getting parts that are readily available in oz, its usually better to get them in yourself. at least then you know it works and exactly what product you're getting.

will see about when i get em, insurance just came in for the fez..... dangit. :

OMP Strut Brace should arrive in the next couple of days. got it for $166 to my door. :

Am i right in assuming you just undo the existing nuts and fit brace over towers, then use same nuts to tighten?
