Hi all, my LE has Eibach springs fitted. I know there are 16vt ones which are meant to ride better than the 20t ones. I'm not sure which I have, is there a way to visually check ? cheers, Rich

from memory, i believe the 16vt springs have tighter coiled springs at the bottom.. im not sure if thats true or false but its some thing like that

Got the 16VTs and did a visual comparison with my friend´s 20VT setup.
And the much rumored 10 mm front suspension height difference is just a fairytale.
And I would say the ride is about the same as well...

My car too got 10mm higher with Billies (same (eibach) springs). Funny, I thought. That was until I realized the car was resting on the bumpstops due to the taller Billie shocks. Cut them half - back to original Eibach height. Not to mention the comfy ride!

I still have the whole bumpstops fitted on my bilstein eibach combo, can the cutting be done while they're on the car, or do i first have to remove the dampers?
is it possible that the bump stops affect the geometry?
