Hi guys, I am in a bit of a predicament, basically want to lower my car, been looking for ages what to get just springs or full sets etc, from many users on here you all say Eibach springs are brilliant so deciding on these,

The issue now is there are 2 to choose from, the Eibach Pro spring, and the Eibach x-low Pro Spring, I was under the impression the Pro spring lower a standard fiesta 35mm and 30mm and that the x-low do it 35mm and 35mm, but cant tell if this is right, please help me decide upset

The extra low ones are 5mm extra drop on the back IIRC.

I decided on the standard Pro Kit spring as they're black and at the time were OEM approved. I didn't notice a lot of difference between mine and others with the extra low springs.

that's brilliant, see that's what I thought, that they was just 5mm lower on the back than standards, but then got told no, that the normal ones are 35mm, but on a standard fiesta, and as the st is lowered 15mm anyway, its a drop of 20mm, and that the extra low is a "true drop" of 35mm not 20, Im leaning towards the standards due to what you said(reliability and ford approved)do you have any pictures of yours ? as Iv seen loads on google but some seem to look lower than others

Thanks happy

the lower you go more stress on the drive shaft breaking or popping out, the alignment will change.

thanks for the pictures guys! ill go for the standard Pro kit! i think that is defiantly low enough for me, and from those pictures Im guessing its correct that they are both 35mm front and 30mm back pro kit and 35mm back on the xlow, because they both look just as low on the front
