[urq] eibachs

[Martin Pajak]

No argument there.. buy it if you can, IMO it's better than the H&Rs, used
to have them on my RIP 4kq 5 bolt...

Cheers

well I just bought the springs from Andrew F, so no box or anything with
p/ns.  And the springs had lots of paint flaking off so I couldn't tell much
in the way of part numbers - and frankly I didn't raelly try to decipher
them...  I just put my faith in Andrew selling me a good part - and he
delivered.  I'll take a look and see if I can see anything....

My understanding is that yes the kit is NLA but when one pops up on ebay or
whatever, and assuminig it's the correct kit,  I say buy it.
