Fast road setup?

[SamDC5]

My DC5 is currently on stock suspension, I'm looking to put a decent setup on it. The car is being used as a daily but I will be taking it to the track a few times. I've been looking at the Eibach fast road kit as a good budget setup, what do people think?

Would I be better going for something like the Eibach setup or going for coilovers?

spoon springs, eibach front camber bolts, eibach or hardrace rear camber arms + geo

Any reason for the Spoon springs over the Eibach? I've heard the Hardrace arms are much better than Eibach's.

The exact setup I'm putting on mine right now

spoon springs, eibach front camber bolts and the hardrace rear camber arms + geo by TGM will be done in may.

Spoon springs sit better so I hear and are very good quality

They sit better on the car. Eibach seem to sit a tad higher at the rear which is known as reverse rake. I had Eibach on mine and I found them to be too soft under normal road going conditions but when pushed they were pretty good. Have a look at Tanabe springs, supposed to be very good and have a nicer drop than both the Spoon and the Eibach.

I'll definitely bear this in mind, it's still got to be a daily so I can't go too low but still want it to sit nice. Have you got any photos with them on so I can see the height mate?

Of course, it's a road car so it can be a challenge trying to find a happy medium. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them tbh but most seem to opt for the Spoons nowadays. I'll try and get some pics up for you.

Spoons have a much nicer drop I agree! Thanks for the help, I'll save that bit more for the Spoons! Cheers mate!

Must just be my eyes but to me the drop looks identical.

Can also say Spoon setup is decent. I have that setup along with camber adjustment front and back although the springs have got more expensive lately!

I had the spoon springs fotted to mine and were brilliant daily

(They are now for sale btw 👍🏻😀)

I don't have the money yet unfortunately as buying the car has pretty much drained me. Are yours for the PFL out of interest?

This was my old one on Eibach springs.

 

[SamDC5]

That sits lovely Chris. I'm confused on what I should go for now, were they okay for daily driving?

Perfectly fine, the ride/comfort was better than OEM and things firmed up nicely when pressing on. I'm selling a used set of Eibach's for £55 in the for sale section if that interests you, box included. I understand Spoon springs fetch a larger premium so that may make your decision a little easier.
