RE: Eibach Springs
I just ordered the Eibach springs, part # 2895.140, yesterday from Hop Up Racing and today I got this e-mail from them:
Does your car have the "Nivomat" shocks? You can tell my looking at the shock. If the diameter of the shock gets bigger as you follow it up then you do. Eibach says some cars are equipped with this shock. Usually the 6sp models. If you do have this shock then you will need to also buy the Eibach shocks for these springs to work. If you have the standard shock (diameter stays constant) then these will work without buying the Eibach shocks,
I figured out that they're talking about the rear shocks. I've got the RT with Auto and I've checked, mine are the same diameter top to bottom. So now I'm just waiting for them to get here. I'll take before and after pictures and let you know how they ride.
