[xplosv57]

LOL okay, how much are those springs in AUS dollars???

[WLD-18L]

$280 plus postage and stuff.

Cant find those axle weights in the manual, what u have given looks like overall weight auzvectra..

[xplosv57]

Damn pretty pricey, i got a set of original turbo springs if youre interested, great handling and no issues with axle weights!!!! Plus insurance won't be a problem either, PM me if youre interested!!!!

[WLD-18L]

you should become a telemarketer :)

[xplosv57]

Errrr okay...... dont worry then!!!!

Good luck with the springs, get some pics up of it lowered asap!!!

was just me being stupid, thanks for the offer anyways mate. appreciate it ! yea not rushing into anything gonna ask around a few local suspension places. see what they have to offer. ive wanted to do it for ages its just i have to make up my mind on which springs to use...

Just out of curiosity, do you need to know axle weights....or kerb weight of the car :confused:

The figure above from Auzvectra is the TS turbo hatch kerb weight...your sedan would be different.

When I got my Eibachs, I simply adopted the ones made for the TS covertible, those weights listed on that site are individual 'corner' max. gross load ratings for the springs, x4 your well over twice the total weight of your car, so they're just fine.

The price seems ok too, 112 pounds sterling will be around $250 AUD. depending on shipping costs, if it comes to around 3-$400 total, it's a good price for Eibachs.

Cheapest I've seen them for is around $350, but only when they're on special or being cleared as Carshine did not so long ago, otherwise they go for over $500 a set.

shipping for springs i have been quoted at 300 pounds or there about, because of teh weight.
i gave up lookin overseas anymore

[Wraith]

Faaaaaar out :eek: at that cost, I'd leave em alone too :)

From O/S ie:

Just try sourcing them from here, I'm sure you'll get a set for around $500, believe me they're worth it ;) but if that's too much, you'll have to go to a cheaper brand !

[poita]

cheapest i have been quoted so far is $590
if i could get them to me for bout $500 shipped i would have em already

[Wraith]

LOL, just try streeeeeetching that extra 90 bucks :)

Seriously though, you might get lucky and get a discount or sale going on some time, just keep an eye out.

Have you tried to enquire with Carshine, to see if they have any sets left, normally wouldn't recommend them for anyhting, but they were stock clearing Eibachs earlier this year, think it was, for around 300 or $350 a set.....

[poita]

if i could get a set for 500 i would, but like i said cheapest so far in bris and area is $590.
not worth it

they will be more than $150. that sounds like a clearance or used price.

[poita]

was quoted $590 + freight from sydney special vehicles
