Need some technical help on this guy's. 

Is there any difference between the Eibachs and Mountune lowing springs for the 1.0 Fiesta?  I know the mountune ones are made by Eibach but are they the same spec?

I ask these questions because I'm getting conflicting info. The drop is different between them and some people say the mountune give a more forgiving ride.

Any help would be great.

Would also like to throw a question in there...

On Ford parts uk the Eibach springs are £130.50, yet the same ones are on Pumaspeed for £160?

Anyone know why the £30 difference for exactly the same thing?

No added tax on Ford Part UK 

I'd enquire at your dealership and see if they'll match ford part uk's price. I always enquiry about any discount and usually get offered 20%

Is that your local Ford? I'm going to portslade one tomorrow so might be worth a try!

Yeah Worthing Dinnages. The parts guys there are very helpful and are always happy to discount.

Hmm might be better off going there then, do you know if they're open Sundays as i'm in Worthing then

Parts is open till 1800 weekdays, 1230 Saturday and closed Sunday.

Ah okay no worries.

Should get a little meet going on soon!

Get the Eibach ones Willy, day to day driving is great on them and there Fraud endorsed. Got a good deal from European parts for the springs and spacers last year.

Are the Mountune ones just sprayed yellow Eibach's???

There's usually a meet once a month at Shoreham airport but can't remember when. As for the springs I've fired off an email to Dinnages to see what sort of price there offering. I'll let you know next week.

 

As for which springs to go for, I'm going down the Eibach route I think and have the new Zetec S shocks installed at the same time.

Just got a few quotes back for the Eibachs.

My local dealer offered £148 

 

I have the Eibachs in mine, they make the car feel so much better.  I didn't want to go with the mountune springs because the front drop would have been too much, in my opinion!

 

Thanks for all your replies and have ordered the Eibachs. They should go nicely with my new shocks.

Thanks Willy, With VAT they're £156 online without postage, so £148 sounds pretty good to me! 

I assume that quote was from the Worthing branch?

£148 was with TAX mate so even better. Should get them in a few days.

So u have upgraded to the Zetec S shocks ? 

How much the Zetec s shocks cost? You got a part number Willy

Well there sitting in my boot 😆 but yes.

 

After checking the difference between the ZS and Red / Black edition with the parts man (there the same) 

rear s/abs 1853309   £70.00 each + vat

front s/abs n/s 1904601  £82.17

front s/abs o/s 1904584 £98.73

All prices don't include Tax. I paid these prices as I was offered 20% off

I will be interested to hear your thoughts on how the ride quality feels with the Eibachs on 

Will be fitted on the 1st April so watch this space......

How much have the eibachs lowered it? The mountune springs probably give the least drop F20/R28 most other are 30-35.

Dropped it 20-20, the Mountune ones are made by eibach.  Your drop looks the same as mine though!  That silver mountune strip looks really well on the blue!
