so you reckon 40mm? they deffinitly clear speed bumps ok? also will be able to get on ramp lift thingy at garage? my mechanic says 20mm is best but i dont think it will look low enough. i need to see pics though

40mm with 17"s aint low enough, and i think 40mm with 15" dont quite cut it, sod it man go for 60mm, looks a dam sight meaner

get some coilovers if you can afford them, then you can go as low as you want (within limitations) and if you dont like it you can change it

nah man. 60mm is too impractical for me. nuff speedbumps round here. 40mm is gotta be the way forward for me i think. will i need to change dampners aswell on the 40mm eibach kit? or will standard gsi dampners do? still need pics though

chassis dynamics -30mm springs, Koni sport dampers.

front splitter catches on most speed bumps but luckily it's flexible

Yea the only difference is the tints and the ride hight, it was shopped to see what it would look like really low
