Irmsher bits v eibach website springs

[jastra]

Looking for springs for the astra which led me to ask why eibach springs on irmsher bits are nearly double the price compared to the eibach website. Unless i found a dodgy fake eibach site with inferior springs but if not i no what ill choose :p cheers

[Milo]

which springs are you talking about?
AH springs on irmsher bitz are $399 and on eibachs aussie store are $660+GST+Del

[BEK-46P]

Don't buy them from Eibach direct. From experience, they overcharge and their customer service is shit.

Get them from Dave @ Irmscher-BiTz. Cheaper, faster delivery and A+ communication.

Here it has retail price $605 then our price $250.

only for the G, you have to ring them for the H, and they'll charge you $605, Kimi did it the other day. Irmy bitz is your cheapest option :thumbs:

[ChrisMaz]

I never even thought about contacting Irmy for my Eibachs :rolleyes:

Contact GSL rally and see what greg can get them for as well.

As long as you get some mate. You won't be disappointed. :cornut:

[Nurb608]

Did you get yours in Chris? Sorry, being lazy :p

[kabel]

Also contact W.A Supensions in Osborne Park.

Yeah mate today. Can't stress how much of a difference its made. Turning that circle wheel actually makes the car go in a different direction now. :p

[Hackstra]

I went thru Greg at GSL Rally Sport he gave me a deal, any place that gives you a deal he can usually match, people with the G's are lucky due to the cheap Eibach store price though.

[gmonkey]

or use ebay :p

eibach oz shop is clearencing some of theres,
i got the last set in aus for 275.
the reason IB is still a lot more is that they are located in the UK where they are not clearance items

[jastra]

What would you all reccomend? Prokit or sportline?

[alts]

Prokit will look lower at the rear, if your into that, not by much though, and you can probably go over speedbumps faster than with the sportlines. Its up to you, what you want.

I'm getting sportlines on mine. :cornut:

:confused: They both have the exact same rear drop at 30mm....
Only difference is sportline supposedly drops the front 50mm, whereas pro-kit drops the front 30mm. Pro-kit are the better all around spring with better spring rates for handling etc, sportline will just give you that slightly nose down, boy racer look.

With the prokit wil it stil b above legal height and how much roughly would it affect insurance?

Forgive the ignorance, but was not aware lowering your car suspension affected your insurance and you needed a 'legal' limit.I would imagine you not going to go to ur insurance and tell them that ur car is lowered? So would that only come into effect once you have an accident or what?

[Nurb608]

I'd tell your insurance, depending which company your with will depend if there is a further cost. If you don't tell them, they may/will void any insurance claim.

With the 30mm drop, you should still be right legally, it's not a ridiculous drop so shouldn't draw much attention.

:yikes: better keep that in mind! Thanx for that!

[mmahle]

Yeah, you need to tell your insurance company. It's not the fact that springs will cause accidents, but it's an actual MODIFICATION. HEAPS of Insurance companys see modfications as risk, more modifications, more risk to dragging, speeding ect. I know it doesn't have anything to affect the speed of the car, but Insurance companys just generally make an assumption.
Reason why say, Suburu WRX Car's Insurances are way more expensive in Insurance then an Holden Astra, is because people in Suburu WRX's have more accidents = more risk then say the average person who drives as Holden Astra.

[ChrisMaz]

Didn't know that insurance had to be notified about springs....

If thats the case, would they have to be notified regarding new brake discs and calipers?

Not usually, unless you want it listed. If it's not listed and they are damaged somehow in an accident or for theft, you will only get stock replacements. Always best to talk to your insurer though, they are usually reasonable, well shannons is anyway.
