Looks perfect.

How much, where do you get them from, and how did you fit them?

yeh thats what I thought but it equal all round, I also understand that the Eibach Pro kit was a new kit that had a few alterations on it, no idea what but Eibach in the UK are saying this... interesting.

Looking at it side on, it looks perfect.

I thought that the exchange rate was about ’60 = $100. If this is the case then we are getting a good deal in the UK.

I've looked at motorsportworld.co.uk but the price is coming up as ’165.

I must be looking at the wrong item, AM I ?

Would like to know if either of you are having wheel clearance issues as I am, on the track or tight canyon roads... during hard turns...

It's fine just cruising down the street or highway but I am getting front wheel rub when racing... and am considering a left front wedge...

not installed the spacers yet as I need to get hold of longer bolts, do recommend it.

Not sure about the wheel clearance issues, but eibach say that there are no known issues.
