Standard dampers although not optimal will be just fine.

Dinechi, I am running Eibachs with standard dampers as is quite a few members on here.

As Lummox said not optimal but is fine.

Although I think the standard dampers will wear quicker.

Quality is the reason! Eibach make the OEM springs and as such are of a high standard. Cheap springs such as Pi etc.. are usually much lower quality.

The words at the bottom of the picture tell you everything you need to know!

In other words they could be for anything and is just a photo of some springs.

Never knew they made the OEM springs, everydays a school day.

Ok, so going with the Eibach springs, how do the Eibach dampers fair against the likes of Koni, etc. I know that Eibach spec the dampers but they don't make them.

Also, for those running Koni dampers, which ones..... Sport Yellow, top-adjust ?
