Does anywhere still sell these for the coupe.

I love how the coupe looks on these springs.

Anything come of this Leon?

I've had Novitec springs on my Coupe for over 7 years and although I've managed to get hold of a spare set of rear springs over the years, I've never seen front ones come up for sale frown

Would be good to know if they are still available cool

Not looked into it again to be honest. Your car was the reason I wanted those springs as I like the way it sits on them.

Novitec quit the Fiat Coupe a number of years ago...

I'm sure Novitec just used Eibach products built to their own specification, is it worth an email to Eibach to see if they can produce the spring for you?

It's a shame Novitec quit with the Coupe frown

Eibach probably could produce the spring, but I imagine it would be a great cost frown

Not necessarily Theresa, I had them make me a pair of front Eibach 16vt springs (the progressive rate ones). It took around 2 months but they were no more expensive than a normal set of springs.

If you're happy to wait until they can knock a set out then it could be worth having some spares in the garage.

awesome, presumably they are noticeably a bit firmer too?

Any pics to see the actual ride height (quoted ones can be hit and miss)?

You can't compare springs from another car to what they will be like on the coupe, far too many variables to make any comparison.

Nope, WARNING!!! NEVER USE EUROPERFORMANCE, Fancy website, don't be fooled, after a week of them not answering the phones, the only 1 single guy there?? (1 man band)??? answers and says, The substitute (Spax) are too out of stock, and that we will be sending you a set of APEX!!!! at no extra charge, WTF!?? They were cheaper than the previous two, I said no I want my money back,. He argued and emailed me a tracking number and said they are in transit from Germany already......

Now at this point I chilled - and simply said Ill send them right back once they arrive....

3 days delivery for FK's, is now 3 weeks for unwanted Apex...

Their website makes them look like a much bigger outfit but this reminds me of Gazzella Racing, same situation, order and pay, wait for weeks and nothing shows up, no one ever answered he phone.

Demon Tweeks are a bit more expensive but I've had nothing other than superb service from them and that's getting parts delivered here in Dubai where we don't even have a postal service!

Apex are crap, send them back!

Guys, the H&R springs lower by 35mm which I believe is the same as Novitec?

The part number for the 20vt is: 29976-2

They come in blue too Theresa just like your Novitecs.

Mine are far from blue now Jimbo laugh

As far as I'm aware, the Novitecs are 40mm.

Or, more like 60mm now they've been on that long laugh
