dubsesd Looking good.
Just a note on the spring, yes Eibach is cheaper, but since it is not available from Eibach NA yet, they won't be any warranty. Also yes, the ACS is made by Eibach, but most likely the spring rate is different, have to test it side by side to confirm that. And since ACS has office in the US, there will be a warranty on the product.

I bought them from a vendor here and I'm not too worried about warranty on 350 dollar springs and links. The vendor would most likely warranty anything since they are in Europe. This is just an alternative suspension setup to H&R that has a lesser drop and rides significantly better. The AC Setup is probably equally good, but my curiosity took the best of me lol

OEM is not progressive so it's not just the length of the spring. Progressive springs are hard on shocks because they have hellacious rebound when they are compressed and then all that energy is released - this is what's progressive. When replacing with progressive springs, it's best to replace the shocks too. But at your mileage, there shouldn't be any difference. Good shocks start loosing their effectiveness around 50-60,000 miles, and slowly get worse.

^^^ Install on mine took about 4 hours start to finish, wasn't bad at all. I've got the rear links down as far as they'll go.

My links are almost all the way up. I put them 1/4" down from where they were preset and the rear was slammed.

Hi guys.
I ordered Eibach springs from Baan Velgen. I received two springs for front and nothing else. I have 3.0d M sport package. Should I got any other pieces for rear end? Thanks |

If its a complete kit, there should be links for the rear that work with the air ride. They look like this:

What did the springs/links cost? Easy install or professional required?
