Do some shopping around though. They can be had for much cheaper than $600.
Found theses , as you say for the V6, around $280 or €250, cheap enough, whether they fit the 2.0 , ill have to see does the 2.0 have the same part numbers for the OEM springs as the V6

So guys going for the Eibach,s like yours , will I still have a bit of clearance now I have the 15mm spacers all round and 305,s rear and 265,s front, at present the gap at the rear is 50mm the front 35mm

Doesn’t matter what springs you have: if you hit a big enough bump with 305 tires and 15mm spacers , you’ll grab the fender lip.

+1. Large highway dips will cause you to rub.

Thanks for the feedback guys, im not a high speed driver, so its more the look i want, if worse comes to worse I can remove the spacers and see what happens, jaggyx your drop is what i am looking for, the front might not drop anything due to the lighter engine, there might be a discounted set of springs available if it dosn't work, will give it a go anyway.

Even hitting freeway dips at 60 mph will cause the rub. That being said, I since have cut the rear spring half a coil as the coils at the top do not provide anything other than spacing. If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with H&R springs even though you do give up some initial travel.

Thanks jaggyx, seems im going to be the guinea pig for 4 pot owners, H&R would certainly be to low, is you car much lower now since you cut half the coil
