    I had a performance centre add some Lovells that dropped the car 1 inch all round. In my opinion it sits just perfect. Heres a before shot:



    and after:



    When you are deciding on springs you should also consider the driveability of the car not just how it will look. What I found after the mod was the car 'points' so much better (no wallowing). I have had the odd scrape with the front spoiler but driven carefully its not been a major issue yet. Go too low and you may start breaking stuff which could be quite expensive to repair, particularly if you happen to scrape the bottom of an extractor.

    Hi Mr Reaper,
    You said that you have "BILSTEIN" springs...
    Can you tell me where you got them?
    Why I say this is that Bilstein DONT make springs!
    If I am right you bought a Bilstein suspension package, ....yes/no? More than likely they will be springs which Bilstein have matched to their shocks as a package and will most likely be H+R springs or something to that effect.

    Im with reaper...

    I had a combination of bilstein dampers and eibach springs... I have to admit the bilstein dampers are probobly the best dampers i have had in any car... I have had Tein coilovers and ISC but bilstein have to be the most refined... Very happy.

    So yeah, +1 for bilstein
