What have you done to your CC Today?

Thanks for the extensive reply.. Bit of a noob question if I was to go with the eibach springs would it be worthwhile getting the shocks as well or just use the standard. That being said if I use the standard springs would I lose life on the shocks because of the lower ride height??

Generally lowering springs do reduce the life of shocks. To give you a idea I've been running eibach's since 80k with the factory DCC shocks and now I'm at 178k, no issues with the shocks.

I'd be running them with the standard shocks unless you don't mind giving up DCC

Wow you got good life out of those, if you don't mind me asking where and how much did the eibach set you back??

I went to suspension city in Melbourne, $600 supplied and fitted. Drove in and just over a hour later it was done

Ahh nice that's not far from me as well.. I just saw on eBay that the springs are roughly $430 for a 25mm drop. How low do your springs sit??

Here's some pics, it's very dirty at the moment:

oh nice that sits real well, do you happen to remember how much lower the springs were compared to the original???

[rjt86]

Use to sit like this, big difference:

Yeh massive distance.. How's the ride quality as compared from standard??

It was a slightly firmer when installed as to be expected. The spring rates are increased which will result in that.

The ride is firmer again now that I've installed whiteline sway bars and their activate grip package which is a bunch of poly bushes, but I'm use to it now

Oh I completely forgot about sway bars (something else for the list lol) is there much improvement over the standard handling??

hey rjt86 , your rims are really nice mate !
would you be able to share the specs ? size , offset etc .

They definitely do help a fair bit but add to a little bit of stiffness to the ride, worth it in my opinion as I can chuck the car around corners at speed now while staying fairly flat

Hey mate, thanks for that.

Rims are 19x9 +30 all around, they are unfortunately discounted now, it's one of the few wheels out there with a large amount of concave.

ahh fair enough - will need to find rims with lots of concave [emoji1303] with 19x9 , do you have many issues with scrubbing ? are you running much camber ?
