|  Finally - My vRS with Eibachs and S3 alloys Hi all  ,Just thought id put a picture of my wee Fabia after being lowered and one with my S3 alloys. 1st comment on the eibach springs, what a difference  the car handles much better and doesnt really ride any worse than standard, im delighted with them! wish i had done it sooner since i was lowering it, i fancied some 17's. after some advice i fancied a set of S3 alloys. wasnt sure what they were going to look like but i guess you wont know till you try  anyway heres a few pics both with eibachs, i LOVE the wheels, pictures really dont do it justice, i will try and take a few better ones  standard wheels with eibachs  S3 wheels with eibachs

| Briskodian  | Very nice. I put eibachs on my old scoob sport and was mighty impressed with the drop and more so the ride handling over bumps was absolutly no worse. The only question I have is, when I fitted eibachs the cup on the suspension wasnt quite as good fit as the OE spring which seemed to allow a rattle to occur ,especially at low speeds ,on roads of not such good quality say housing estate roads.Is the spring for a fabia an exact fit for the car ,as with my scoob I could only put it down to a small differance in a turbo and a sport. This would be something I would definately consider for my fabia as it does seem to roll about a bit when pushing through a bend |

| The S3 alloys look a lot better than I thought they would. Thanks for sharing the pics! Did you change the tyres to 205/40/17 or 215/40/17 or have you kept the std. tyres on from S3 as this will put the speedo incorrect?

| I think that looks spot on. Think thats the nicest set of wheels I've seen on a furby.

| Very nice. Seems to be a wheel swapping extravaganza on Briskoda at the minute, with some very tasty results.

| Looking good, I think them alloys suit a silver furby really well, I'm not sure another colour would pull it off. Great choice (well not as good as mine but then I'm bias!!  )

| I think it's the chunky design of the wheels that suit it. Spindly one's dont look as good. These look great! |

| They suit a silver car don't they - i had them on a Mk4 Golf Gti after having 18" RS4s and they looked good (easy to clean as well), i did notice they were heavy (not as heavy as the 5 spoke Ronal TT wheels though)

| Do Audi do a minging set of alloys? I think not! Seeing the piccies above got me looking on Ebay again.... Nothing really apart from the standard TT 6 spokes.

 I did, but there seems to be serious demand for them - Also I'll let Gayle have her moment of uniqueness. I see no-one has managed to get hold of the same Atek TW1s as me yet then.

| WOW!  They look great Gayle. Absolutely spot on!  The ride height looks great with the Eibachs too. I think chunky alloys really are the way forward on the Furby! Bet your well chuffed. Nice one.

| I have to agree those wheels look great !, I don't think they would suit a black furby as well but in silver spot on.
