Eibach Pro Spring Kit.

Does anyone know if this is just a lowering kit? or does it stiffen the suspension as well?

Quick google search and bing!
Eibach Pro-Kit Springs Offer:

# Top-Performance Handling
# Lower center of gravity
# Progressive spring design
# Excellent ride quality
I would say the progressive spring design will make it a bit harder than standard.

To be honest, ive only ever heard good things about Eibach.

Cheers.
I'd love to put them on my car, but sacrificing 30mm or so (as small as that is) is a bad idea around here, it'll put it around the same level as my Volvo before I sold it, and I nearly took the front spoiler off on that a couple of times with random badly made speed bumps (I used to work in highway design)

ive got them on my car and tbh they dont lower it a great deal, the arches just sit above the tyres, ride is a tiny bit stiffer and bodyroll is ruduced to.

great mod, finally Fiesta rides like a regular car not an electric toy.
but it's noticeably lower - with front lip spoiler almost any curb is too high

I've had mine on for about 2 weeks now, handles and looks much better :0) just a remap to go & i've done all the mods i'd planned (well, maybe new alloys if funds allow.....)

Word of warning on fitting the springs, get the tracking checked after a couple of weeks to allow them to bed in, had mine tracked and it was towing out by 8 degrees, garage reckon it would've scrubbed my tyres (michelin pilot sport 3) out in about 6-8 months!

If a garage told me mine was scrubbing that bad but still had that long left of use on them, i'd be thrilled! The amount of mileage i do burns through mine in around 9 months :lol:

Think he was being a little optimistic (did look a bit like a village idiot too) The fezza feels better now it's been tracked though so well worth the £20 outlay :0)
