rite, i got 60mm jamex kit all round but just fitted a 4.1 manifold and.....
it really doesn't like any uneven road surface
but, i want to keep the back were it is as i think its about the right hight so obvously the fronts coming up. what im wondering is
1. would a set of front 30mm jamex be ok? (just springs)
2. if not what would you chose?
3. are eibach really as good as there made out to be? (just missed a set on ebay for £42, i bid £38)
4. whats worth the money as i want to keep costs almost as low as possible, (i love my car but im on the poverty line)  so i think coilovers are out of the question.
advice is appreciated

I've got a eibach springs all round and it's made a massive difference over spax springs which are supposed to be good anyway.
The lowering isnt as much as the spax but it's about 35-40mm drop which I think is just right in terms of comfort vs looks trade off.
If you want I can get you a picture of how low my car is on the pro kit? With 15" alloys.

yeah please bud, keeping it at 60mm on the back but i think 30-40mm on the front should be ok and im on 15"s with 195/45's
