FIESTA_MAD Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 hi looking into fitting some of these springs to my car but wanted to ask a few things first . will it void my warranty by fitting them ? will they fit my 1.25 mk7 ? and will comfort be affected by fitting them ? advice on any of the above would be good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rosier Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 hi I'm looking at exactly the same thing chap! iv heard it does NOT void warrenty yes they will fit ALL mk7 Fiesta and iv heard they are still as comfortable and better in the corners :) hope this helps!

FIESTA_MAD Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 can they be fitted yourself or must they be fitted by ford ? will need to ask the insurance if i can fit them :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rosier Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 im not too sure on that one! if anyone can find out would be good! hope i can fit them myself so won't cost loads for someone to fit them :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 To retain the warranty I've head they should be fitted by Ford, but you might get away with a VAT registered garage. It would affect comfort, I'm pretty sure you'll feel the bumps more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Rosier Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 okay cool thanks! Do you know if Eibach do 40 or 50mm springs or just 30mm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The Ford approved ones are 35mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNath Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 i was sure the aproved ones were 30mm ?? I stand corrected ;) http://web2.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?32=28239&51=229900005598&35=2299&125=0&36=189&124=189&14=4&10=C3DE7F9FFB1B1EFBE040A8C00A3E6607279004&12=140 Not sure on prices, could give your local dealer a call in the morning?

sambooka Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 What if I want the pro kit with shocks and springs not just spring and no difference in ride will that void my warranty or will it be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST11 MCC Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 got the eibachs fitted to my s1600 and all i can say is they are pretty sweet. got them as they dont void warranty and got them fitted by a mechanic from local ford dealer for £100 cash lol. yeah feel the bumps more but feels alot tighter round corners. personally i think anymore than 30mm springs and shocks could struggle so if it was me wanting more best to save for coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 will a stock 5 door zetec look good on 30mm springs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
