Eibach Coilovers or Lowering Springs

Eibach Coilovers or Lowering Springs for a Turbo Cab. WHY? ::)

[Shamrockez]

I will have a set of 40mm H&Rs coming up soon. Not sure if they'd take the weight of a cab tho. They take the weight of a diesel, just squishes them a bit more to make them lower ;)

Nico has a set!!!! (they are in my garage at the moment)

Thanks gals, but the Tin Top Springs are different apparently to Cabs....or so some web sites state, maybe someone could clarify? :-?

[Grahamini]

IIRC the cab springs are different due to the extra weight and weight distribution - I found a bit about the different spring rates on the Eibach website a while ago.
Eibach only list 25mm springs for the cab as well

edit - bit of info here .... http://www.eibach.de/frame.inc.php

We ghad the H&R 40mm springs fitted to the cab, and they are marked on the box cab only £250 including fitting>

Thanks for the info Guys! ;)

Yup their heavier. You're supposed to have different ones for TDis too.

Looking at coilovers now, but cant seem to find Eibachs. Ive seen some Jamex but not sure what they are like, anybody have any experience of this brand?
Ta ;)

[Shamrockez]

I've got some Jamex ones which I'm gonna put on as soon as I can afford to really.

What do you make of the quality Lucy, I know years ago Jamex seemed to have a decent reputation but not heard anyone mention them here before.

[Shamrockez]

They look fine to me, but I don't have anything to compare them to, to be honest.

Here's a pic tho:

They look like the ones ive seen, do they state whether they fit a Cab?? The ones ive seen say they fit ALL Bugs but im not so sure?

[Shamrockez]

I got mine off Jackson Tuning from the No Rice forums. He was very helpful :) jacksontuning@hotmail.com

Mine were £295 delivered.

[markymark]

8-) I will give him a try!

The Jamex ones are the budget ones. If your going coilovers spend the doe and get a proper set with adjustable dampening, and helper springs. It'll be worth it.

[markymark]

I knew you would come up with the goods. Cheers dude :grinbaby

[DARYL_-_BMS]

NO WORRIES!!!!

[markymark]

Anybody know the part number for the eibach coilovers for the Turbo Cab as im being told they dont do any that fit!
Thanks [smiley=laugh.gif]

[DARYL_-_BMS]

They will fit man. Whoever said they don't is talking chat. My coilovers are intended for hard tops- the only difference is the poundage of the spring.

[markymark]

Thanks Daryl the part number ive been given is 65 85 001 01 22, would these be ok?
Sorry to keep on but I need to be sure before I part with any pennies! :-/

[MrsEvvo]

To be honest no. A friend of mine will be fitting them and I didnt think about them.

[MrsEvvo]

Use your friend for fitting ring them for advice ;)

The eibach pro-street coilover kit I had fitted to my cyber cab was for the Golf 1.8t Mk 4, but is not TUV approved for the cab.

Jabba fitted it and set it up a treat though, having warned me about the lack of TUV approval.

Handled fantastic, with a sensible compliant ride and loads of height adjustability, Quality kit, just order for the golf 1.8t mkiv :)
