It just took me 5 minutes to find the spring spec, on the TUV certificate by looking at Eibach's website www.eibach.de/en/fahrwerk/performance-tu...-performance-springs and ending up with this...

Ok thanks. That's what I feared. They are using a thicker wire instead of a longer free length. That's fine for either a heavier truck or a firmer on road ride but it does nothing for articulation. If they were offering a longer free length with the standard wire diameter and an extra half coil etc that'd make sense for an off road capable vehicle. Couple with something like a trailmaster or AVO damper and winner winner chicken dinner.

Also why not openly publish that information on the sales page linked by the product finder, why hide it in the depths of the tuv certification? OK it took you 5 minutes to find it but to me it's just another reason to not buy.

I don't think you would choose Eibach if off road performance was a priority, they are definitely road biased and 30mm isn't really much of a lift target. Thats why I run 15mm seats... Having said that, I do off road them and they perform without fault.

Wire diameter, free length and coil numbers are all pretty much irrelevant to the end user. Stance and performance are the benchmarks by which the vast majority of users will judge them.

The car sat higher, the car cornered better and it handled the off roading I do without complaint. What the specs say had no impact at all....

The Eibach name and +30mm were enough information for me to buy.... each to their own I suppose.....
