Installing the Eibach(Hausser) lowering springs
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 6:12 pm
So, I discovered Eibach really did make lowering springs for 480
These are the Hausser lowering springs that do -30mm drop.
The Eibach stamp along with the Hausser stamp.
Fronts don't have the Eibach stamp on them. Or I just didn't find them.
New yellow Koni sports to the rear instead of Bilsteins. The old lowering spring set was Lesjöfors.
Sorry for the bad pic. The new golden Hausser and new "yellow" koni installed
The old Lesjö and the Hausser side by side - almost identical. Lesjö seems to have a bit more length on the wire.
And the results.
Height from center of the wheel to the top of wheel arch.
With Lesjöfors springs and Bilstein shocks.
Front 36cm Rear 32½cm(!)
With Hausser springs and Koni shocks.
Front 34½cm Rear 35cm.
Before
And after.
The measurements have been taken within a hour of the installation so I recon it'll drop a bit before it settles.
