WTB: 2000 S80 T6 Sport Springs

Tanh · Post by **Tanh** » 03 Oct 2012, 12:30

It seems that Eibach has discontinued production of springs for this car. I can't seem to find them anywhere. They were the cheapest performance solution I could think of. I'd like to lower the car a bit, nothing drastic. Mostly though, I'd like it to look level and perform better in corners and up steep hills. Not partial to any brand so please make suggestions for substitues if you can.

Ideally looking to pay about 200 shipped to Cambridge, Ontario and that's negotiable. If anybody has a set they wouldn't mind selling please reply.Thank you.

Eventually when im done playing around with my Subaru Legacy i was going to buy these for my 2002 S60 AWD because the back of the car looks like it has load levelers on it so i found this spring kit for a reasonable price...

Thanks for the link. Those seem to be a premium set. Almost 400 usd for a set for the s80 on the site. A set of H&Rs are nearly half the price. What would justify the 150 or so difference? Quality?

Anybody have spares or good used ones to sell.

I couldn't answer that one..There are alot of other options out there and they all seem to be priced nearly the same but some of these aftermarket places have more options for our cars then others,i would think its more of a personal choice but for my S60 AWD the rear springs drop the rear to level the car to an even appearance to match the front. My car from the factory looks way to "jacked up" in the rear wheel wells for what reason..who knows?

That's exactly what I mean! My current S80 seems to be the same. The back is jacked way too much for my liking. Makes it look more like a ricer than a luxury sedan. No offence to ricers out there. My last one was level and handled like it was on rails. Alas my brother took her for a ride and she met Mr. Guardrail along the way. I didn't get to looking at the setup and regret not finding out what they were.

I'm also wondering if S60 springs can be used for the S80 as well. The pro kit Eibach used to make used the same model # for both cars. If that's the case, it'll open up more options for sure.
