Picked up a set of pro springs quite a while back for a billy bargain from eBay.

Not got round to fitting them yet but wondered if anyone else had and what their opinion was. I find the J has quite a bit of body roll (maybe I should slow down!) so wondered what difference this would make.

Cheers

I've just bought some lowering springs. Just a question on how the shock absorber is bolted on at the top mount. I can only see one bolt? Was expecting more than one. Cheers

Am I right in thinking that the SRI springs are 10mm shorter than the other models?

I know the 40mm eibach springs are supposed to be the best but 40mm seems a bit much for me, 
Anyone heard of these springs

Hi all

Wondering if you can advise on springs. Been researching a lot the last week or so and still a little unsure, but getting there!

So I want to lower the car (2014 2litre CDTI 165bhp diesel).

Eibach pro kit seem to be the commonly used springs, hwoever, I've seen reference to the Eibach Sportlines and where the pro kit and the sportlines have been discussed, people are saying the sportlines are worth it as they're a lot lower and the drop with the pro kit isn't that noticable.
