Best place to buy?
So guys and girls,
Wheres the best place to buy some new shocks and springs? I'm running the standard setup at the moment, and it doesn't quite cut it in the corners. I keep hearing eibach, but don't know where I can buy both the shocks and springs as a set.
link me up!

Re: Best place to buy?
err very rare you will find both the springs and dampers in a set.
you can try bilstein dampers, they are the same as eibach. or rather the eibachs are re badged bilsteins.
you dont need to change the shocks if your only doing say up to a 30mm drop, the standard dampers will cope with that.
any lower and the dampers will reach the bump stops quicker and you loose the effinciancy of the suspension, you also damage your dampers over quite a short period of time:)
have a look for kits.
what price you looking to spend?

Re: Best place to buy?
I am old school here and will always use a shock and spring combo and will get better results if you do..Eibach give you the best ride and peformance on the stilo and its been proven time and time again..you just need to shock to compliment them and I think bilstien would do very nicely thankyou..

Re: Best place to buy?
Well i dont really know how much to expect. I know i can get a set of springs for around 130, but i want the shocks to really, after reading on fiatforum thats what they reccommend, even tho i'll only be looking for say 30mm drop.
This set for 130 is Pi, which I guess arnt that great.
So with shocks etc, i imagine i'd be looking in the ballpark of 300? 350?
Edit, just seen your reply PNL.
So these springs look about right for me;

err not quite, you can get eibachs for the same price, and i think 300-350 is being quite optomistic if you want a decent set of dampers too.
more like 500 mate.
