six appeal 53 Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Pete think you may mate as Shrick moves the thottle body back about 1/2 inch and the aircon pipes may also be in the way. I ended up getting a custom one too fit in the end. It may all clear on idle but you'd be surprised hpow much the engine moves when your ragging it about!Best bet would be to find someone with one and test fit first, or make sure the place your buying from will allow you to send back if doesn't fit as it states it should.

VRmonster 1 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 well i ordered the eibach and it wouldnt fit my car without moving stuff, allsorts of electrical connections. so i sent it back and ordered the omp, and that fouled on the header tank. gggrrr. so i sent that back and ordered the sparco one. this time the damn bases at each end wouldnt fit over my strut mounts, and it wasnt adjustable. so i sent it back and gave up. cost me about £20 in postage. not going to bother now. may look into having one made if i ever can be assed. lol.

DundeeDub 0 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 i got an eibach one and it fitted fine, just had to move a few wires being held up but they were easy to re-locate. Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 i think the eibach one would have fitted but at the time i had the car about 2 weeks and didnt want to mess around with it. so could probs do it now. i was just a vr6 newie. lol Link to post Share on other sites
