European Parts in Germany is where to get the Eibach Springs Ben, I got mine sent airfreight, cost $340 delivered, if you get them sent by normal seafreight they should cost around $270, you will need to have a PayPal account to place the order.....Link Here

Here's a link to thread with pics of my XR4 with the springs installed

Laser looks really good - I think you've done well with the mods you put on. XR4... nothing more to say than has been said already!

Rob.. you should get commission for the amount of times that you have recommended Euro parts and the Eibachs!

LOL, yea your not wrong mate, it would be nice, I recommend the Eibach's because I'm so happy with mine, they make the car look "soooooo much better", I think the Eibach's are about as good as it gets for aftermarket performance springs, I would rather see people buying something decent that is specifically designed for the ST/XR4......note, King Springs "do not make aftermarket springs yet for the XR4", only the 1.6L models, the 2.0 in the XR4 is a heavier engine and the Kings will not work.

I also would recommend Euro-Parts for the Eibach's because firstly, the price.....so much cheaper than buying them in Oz, and secondly.....Euro-Parts gave me excellent service, the springs were delivered immediately after placing the order, I was emailed a couple of times on the progress of the order and the springs were delivered fairly quickly.

ELXR6: Never.... lol, nah I'll call you maybe after I finish work or something.

Thanks robjh80, i'll keep that in mind, at the moment I am saving, so keep a look out.

Cheers
