Willy Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-B64 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cablelad Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 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??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just got a few quotes back for the Eibachs. My local dealer offered £148 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFist Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your drop looks the same as mine though! That silver mountune strip looks really well on the blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
