Leon C 1 Posted April 29, 2006 Finally got around to fitting my Billy Sprintlines today along with my Prokit springs (7001s as recommended) today. However when taking it round corners, I noticed that the steering is a lot lighter around the centre and gets heavier the more I turn. Is this normal after fitting new front dampers? I noticed that the ride height hasn't dropped either. Is this down to them not being bedded in properly yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted April 29, 2006 Personally I'd go get it aligned ASAP... people always seem to forget this but when you mess about with suspension you MUST get it aligned properly again. If it's not much lower then it probably needs to settle... I assume the 7001's are the right springs as I believe there ARE some Eibach springs that are listed for the 205 that don't actually lower it! Did you also fit new top mounts or just use your old ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon C 1 Posted April 30, 2006 I just cleaned the old top mounts and used them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahl 4 Posted May 1, 2006 Your old springs could have been a bit tired, leading to it looking quite low. You should get a picture up for comparrison. I've got the same setup but with grp N top mount rubbers and it sits quite low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted May 1, 2006 Eibach 7001 & group N top mounts on mine too: That's before they'd had any time/miles to settle down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonD6B 0 Posted May 1, 2006 Appologies now but are you sure that they've located properly on the hub top i.e. they've not got caught up on the alignment tab? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
