    Just bought these Eibach -30mm lower springs for my Saxo Desire. What do you think to them, and what can I expect in terms of ride and handling on the regular shocks?

    Decent brand eibach have always felt the same to me regarding ride comfort used to use them on my fords as you could buy them from the dealership so if it's good enough for them they must be half decent you doing the rear aswell ??

    Was reluctant to try initially, but thinking about it, it's got to be done really. Just need to learn more about torsion bars.

    Yeah Eibach are a decent quality spring should be good. if the car is still on the original axle all I can say is good luck getting the torsion bars out though lol.

    I never had a torsion bar I couldn't get out.

    I had eibach on my civic both the pro line and sport line they are a really good lowering spring nothing else compares in the terms of spring replacement.

    Now lowering the right hand side. Before we can remove the Torx T40 bolt from the torsion bar.

    Measure the same distance between bottom of car and the marking on the suspension arm and put the torsion bar back. Connect everthing again.Allrite mate let me know if you want the lights. Got sub frames for bucket seats aswel.
