Oky so i know theres a lot of questions regarding suspension on the forum.. At the moment I still have the original shocks with heated springs in the front and the shock absorbers with the leaf springs at the back. the fronts are definately worn out.. (done 295000km)
So I need new springs with more or less the same drop as i have now infront (30-40mm). and new shocks at the back. I want to save up for eibach springs but I can only install eibach in front. since the back have leaf springs..
Would the ride quality be that much better with eibachs only at the front? and I obviously only need to buy the front springs.. not the rears so don't know if thats possible. also what shock absorbers should I get and where? Gabriel?
ANy other solutions or advice? Also not too expensive solutions.. lol

Cwl.. thanks guys.. yeah I'll check autoquip first.. theyve got awesome service and discount... so monroe shocks with eibach springs infront. I think the back shocks will still be fine because the leaf springs carry all the weight.. So where can I buy eibach springs? Their main branch is situated in PE... but need a place closer.. will see if i find any suppliers on google Dankie
