fair douz.

I'm glad i only have to pay for 2 springs on the Pug!! lol. Sod having to buy a set of 4, at around £40 a spring rrp!

ie: £200 odd quid for a full set for a corsa for just springs. My local motorfactors can do a full GMAX kit for £170! mad!

I had Eibach on my old 306, drop wasn't massive but they did improve the handling.

Not sure who they're made by - I think they're Avo, but that's their "spring" brand.

comfort is 2nd to none, it more comfortable than the std spring!

far more coils in the Eibachs and they even had the decency to put plastic tubing over the bottom 3 coils on the front springs to prevent spring chatter

Avo are ok. cheap i have to admit.

but again.... with everything you get what ya pay for. If your on a budget and cant afford Eibach then go with the avo's.

gimmie a shout, il sort ya out.

Mind is made up. I dont think corsasport has ever had such a good review on one brand! no negatives really, bar price!

Cant wait to get em on now!
