Hi guys,

I have had eibach sportline springs fitted today, and it has only made a 10-15mm difference. Hardly Noticable!

I was quoted 35-45mm by the guy at the shop, he even phoned eibach to confirm this for me.

The guy at deamon tweeks has told me to give it a couple of days to see if it settles, if not he will give me a refund.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Will it settle or is it a case of what you see is what you get?

In another post on here i have seen a e60 on sportlines and it looked slammed

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks

give it time to settle. 3-4 days should be good.

I've done about 80 miles on the way back from getting them fitted

Gives me a good excuse to just get in the car and go for a drive, haven't done that for a while
