I *think* that the springs are for both the turbo and NA models so only two different types. And yes, the 16v springs will go on a 20vT. Apparently they are a little softer for a smoother ride also \:\)


F****** b****** thing...

16vt Eibach springs fit a 20vt but they are no cheaper so I'm not sure where that came from. They are made from a slightly smaller gauge wire so are slightly softer.

Doubt you'll buy them off the shelf now though, I had a pair specially made by Eibach, took about 6 weeks.

Go for 20vt Eibachs with Billy dampers, you really can't go wrong with that set up.

got a 16VT set form AA about a month ago - only took a week.

From my understanding, they also don't lower the car quite as much as the 20VT ones...?

Overall with the bilstien shocks I'm really pleased with the setup - the ride is not as bad as I thought it would be \:\)
