I had my Eibachs on for about 18 months before I felt any vibrations. Got my cups changed over when I got the car serviced but the vibrations came back after about 6 months or so. I ended up going for Blox Racing 2 piece spacers and it sorted it. Got them for around the 90 quid mark if I remember and its an easy enough job to do yourself - got mine done in a couple of hours with not having done it before.

I got mine from Funky Power but they dont seem to have any in stock, only the HardRace ones...

Not sure what you're saying here. Swap CV joints - do you mean from one drive shaft to the other? How big a job is that? You can't actually swap the drive shafts over, because they're not the same length

Nope he is on about the inner CV cups that attach to the diff flange ( oooooer )

Exactly the same as one another, you swap sides and the UJ inside the cup, sits on the opposite side it used to, Usually there is pitting inside the cups and that's what causes vibrations.
