Default Eibach springs for a LV petrol

I've got a spare set if anyone's interested in buying some, saves them the shipping time from the uk. I live in the eastern melb suburbs so can pickup/drop off/meet or post whatever's best for you. They sell for $209 on europarts where I got them so $200 ono really, I've got a set in my car already and the mate I bought them for bailed on them.

Not sure if they fit the new LW or any previous models, possibly the ls/t.

What was the difference in ride/handling etc you noticed?. Did you do the job yourself?

I got them fitted by pedders, didn't feel comfortable fitting it myself, only done a few small things to my car personally.

I got them fitted after I had my 18" rims fitted and the ride was improved alot, only dropped the car by 2.5cm, so nothing stupid there, but the difference in ride is incredible. Under-steer was reduced allot, ask many other's here on the forums about them as well, they are highly recommended springs.

Thanks - do you think they would be matched ok with the standard 16" alloys?

Should be, I think In_Focus has 16" on his, not the standard ones but still 16" and he seemed impressed.
