    Eibach springs. USA

    I cannot seem too locate a USA seller for the Eibach spring kit. Where's everyone getting them? I've followed a few links posted here but they all lead too a dead end.

    Has anyone noticed an increase or decrease in fuel economy after installing them? Plan on Putting these on with intentions of auto crossing the car a few times for fun, but don't want too hurt mpg

    I got the Eibach springs for my Space Star 1.2 after 8000 kilometers and did not notice a really big change in fuel economy. Fuel economy should be a little bit better with lowering springs because the front surface of the tires is reduced. I get the best fuel economy on the forum, despite the rather cold winter conditions here in Germany, so I don´t think the Eibach springs could have any bad influence on fuel economy.

    That's what i figured, but i figured i would ask just too be sure. I know 12" of frontal area is pretty much nothing.. But every bit helps. I'm right on your heels by the way, I'm into the 60s as well.

    Thanks, hopefully i can find these springs, I've been searching pretty hard but too to avail. It dawned on me last night, "call eibach". See what i can do.

    So are the Eibach's just a stiffer spring with the same ride height? If that's the case I'm interested also.

    I agree. I'm not sure I would want to lower my car, especially if it makes rear axle alignment problems worse.

    The car is lowered 25-30 mm with the Eibach springs.

    Yes, these are the right ones - according to the TÜV approval the type is "E10-60-017-01-22".
