Crieffy Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Had a little play with Paintshop on how the car might look with the Eibach springs fitted.. It would look nice, but would it be a lot stiffer? I quite like how it feels at the moment - it's probably plenty hard for the roads here and I'm not sure if my old spine would like to be battered every day ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus_ST-3 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Looks a lot better lowered, the ride will be harsher though. Its not too expensive a mod so I would go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky1722 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I would go for it, mine is lowered on H&R springs and it's not too harsh at all. Stiffens the car up slightly and will probably feel much better to drive. Main thing is it'll look much better. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main thing is it'll look much better. ide say standard it looks better lowered buty it puts more stress on the suspension including bushes and bearings and if you live somewhere with a lot of speed bumps you mite get pixxed off having to crawl over them as that 60 year old granny overtakes you lol its really up to you it will be a little harsher not too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S666LER Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Pretty sure these are for the mk7 but do check http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EIBACH-PRO-KIT-LOWERING-SPRINGS-Ford-Fiesta-JA8-1_W0QQitemZ190364903378QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2c52a1e7d2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crieffy Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Pretty sure these are for the mk7 but do check http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EIBACH-PRO-KIT-LOWERING-SPRINGS-Ford-Fiesta-JA8-1_W0QQitemZ190364903378QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2c52a1e7d2 I think that's around the right price, have seen them from £135-£150ish. I'm enjoying driving it too much at the moment to make the change yet, but it is soooo tempting :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie j Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I personally wouldn't bother don't get me wrong looks cool but i did it to my focus with Eibach pro springs and i had loads of issues with speed humps hitting the underneath of the car it was a real nightmare but up to you fella ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
