hi,
i should be able to get some eibach springs off my bros friend for cheap.
but does anyone know where to get them installed for a reasonable price?
i've rung up a few places and theyre all charging 300+ish including a alignment.
oh btw im in melb.
any help would be great.
And has anyone had any problems with speed bumps and driveways and the like?

"The Suspension Centre" in Kealba is pretty good.

I've had my RX7 lowered there years back and am currently speaking with him about dropping my R56 a lil bit. He's quite a nice, honest sort of guy.

The no. is 9356 4591.

If you have spring compressors, you can DIY.

DIY is pretty easy if you have a decent work space, spring compressors and tools. I did it in about 2 hours with my cousin. The rears were easy, they front passanger was the most difficult but still pretty easy.

That said for $300 incl alignment I reckon is a pretty good deal.

Im looking at pulling my eibachs off and replacing with JCW springs, i scrape on just about every speed hump i have to go over. A fellow clubMINI member just swapped his for JCW also and said the ride was much smoother on country roads and the scraping on speed humps was getting on his nerves too. End of the day I suppose it depends where you do most of your driving, i have been more than happy with the eibachs for the last 3 years.

sorry for the late reply, been a bit busy.
havnt managed to put em on yet vinno. lol still trying to find a cheap **** place to get it done and some spare time.
Babes, when you say they scraped the speed humps, was it just that plastic thingy at the front which sorta hangs down under the car? or was it something else scraping? and did you have any trouble with driveways, or anything else?
play fife, when i was ringing around a few places i think they said around 4-500ish? dont quote me on it though.

eibachs are abt $500. The scraping is the black plastic bit that overhangs on the front bumper. It's no biggie and doesn't always scrape, just depends how fast/angle you take a speed hump.
