mind sharing where ? install i think no problem. normal wshop can install for 20-50/perspring
if it really improves handling with stock absorber.
would like to give it a try then.

btw anyone here tried chasis foam and stiff ring ? any reviews

for lowered ride, it sure will improved the handling as the centre of gravity point decreased. Do take note that you've compromised the comfort as the road feedback had increased. But since you're pairing with stock absorbers that are generally soft, hence i think its still acceptable.

my Focus had full chassis foamed. The ride is firmer and road feedback greatly increased.

my Vios had stiff ring installed. You can feel that the steering is tighter and the road harshness feel decreased.

hope above comment help.

thumbup.gif thanks for the review. still thinking whether to get the eibach. afraid road comfort would go done the drain.
perhaps just wait amad to give some review.

Hey there, does all vios share the same springs and absorbers? As I tried to search the application list for eibach pro kit but did not mention anything bout 3rd gen vios NCP150.  hmm.gif

best bet to ask automotive garage section. lots of seller selling eibach.
on all model sharing same springs and absorber , nope only engine and frame is the same.
each latest variant comes with different specs for other parts.

just wanna share experience using Eibach.. its a quite bumpy for front while rear is fine.. i already change front to new absorber but it just reduce a little bit bumpy only.. still bumpy but not obvious..

so if u really wanna use Eibach, front absorber i think need to use stiffer absorber coz OEM absorber not stiff enough which will make bumpy ride (even its a new absorber), they mention "suitable use with stock absorber" kinda unacceptable.. the reason i think its bumpy because OEM absorber design to absorb bump in the middle of it, while lowering it using Eibach spring will make it use mainly at upper section where for OEM absorber already bottom out the shaft..
so now after a few months using it i come to a few solutions
1. to inject the front absorber to make it harder which will make it operate nicely with lowered spring
2. change to adjustable with front 6k and 4k spring rate for daily use
3. try another sport spring

really appreciate it. now im having second thoughts on it.
1k for spring another 5-6hundred for absorber. hmm.gif hmm.gif
