For the benefit of those who may be interested in the Eibach pro kit lowering spring for ES. This is the part number for it.

There will be stamping on the spring itself and this is the info
11-40-001-01-VA
11-40-001-01-HA

Have doubt in the above information? Suspect

Refer to Eibach official website sunny

Which shop sells + install the springs? and how much?

Thats a tough one.
Which shop sells ~ Unsure, can go ubi and ask around. Ready stock or not hard to say.

If the shop sells the spring, they will install the spring. Usually, when purchasing brand new aftermarket spring, installation is included in the pricing. Nonetheless, ASK before purchase to ensure installation is included otherwise any workshop can do installation for a market fee of $80.

Hope that helps!

I think there is one ES on B12. But can't recall who he is ... may be change car liao also.

How much lower do you want to drop? If really want to know the answer, i think better ask justin (Bilstein sales person).

Look good? IMO, lesser gap between the wheel arc area is nice What a Face

Comment? Street use or track use?
Track, haven't go with B8 yet, so no comment. For street usage, B12 should have the same characteristic of B8. Hence, it will be firmer than stock. Don't expect after putting on you can corner like nobody business. It is not the same as performance coilover. It doesn't reduce the body roll much and remain similar to stock shock characteristic.

What more do you want to know???

Brought the B8 with pro kit combo on sepang track recently (29th oct). This combo met my expectation. It holds well on the corners and i'm pretty satisfied with the combo performance in high speed cornering as well as the road trip toward SIC.

However, when compared to the coilovers, it does pale in comparison if one is more demanding.

This combo is currently able to satisfy and balanced my need between street usage and occassional tracking.

It may be put on the re-mod list soon Laughing

(I hope not:tongue: )
