When i spoke to Eibach a few months back they said that Sachs who they deal with and use to make the Eibach suspension kits, use a custom (Yellow) spring on the front of the car and a Standard spring (Black) for the Trophy.
From what i can gather Yellow springs are a custom design from Eibach and Black's tend to be OE Spec designs.
i wonder if eibach would consider making a lower spring for the trophy if they had enough people interested in a set, they wouldnt need to do any r&d as they made the springs currently fitted to the car?
Don't apologise for digging up an old thread - they don't smell that bad
Seriously though, this equally old thread has some very good info regarding 7MAT's lowering of his Trophy last year. http://cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/viewtopic ... t=lowering
Me too, the dates run consistently, funny comment about the halfords springs, even funnier retort form Nik. I miss Nik, where is he these days? (offtopic) oops sorry.
Yeh, lowering the Trophy - don't do it without speaking to 7MAT.
surely the only reason for lowering the car is appearence related... i can't understand people just doing it for appearences but it's only my opinion. It certainly wouldn't improve the dynamics - Reno spent a fortune setting up the suspension on the Trophy, if lowering it by a few mm more would improve it, surely Reno would have done it in the first place.
