Looks good are they the Eibach 30mm drop? Wheels seem to come in closer to the guard than mine or are they 18" wheels? Interesting. Nice colour too.
I got a set of Eibach's for the WS that will be up for sale in a few weeks if anybody is keen, I am assuming by you saying finally the correct set that the WS springs will not fit the WT? Cheers

Yes Eibach pro kit 30 to 35mm drop rims are 17 inch speedy.....
Took a while initially ordered the springs from Germany gave the VIN number and told them it was a Thai built Fiesta 3 weeks later the springs arrive I pull appart the front suspension and strut to find they sent the WS spec springs after lots of fighting with the Germans I have to sell the wrong springs here then foward that money to him before he would send the correctly ones.... Finally got the right ones three hours later all fitted handles really well... |

It handles unbelievably I thought the standard set up was good but these are soo much better (this is probably why the Eibach pro kit is the spring of choice for the new Australian fiesta cup tarmac stages) now a little firmer in the ride noticeable on our country roads

How much trouble was it to fit them? I'm finally biting the bullet and lowering my fez but am trying to work out whether to lower it myself or get my mechanic to do it...
