read up on the history or Eibach and H&R, they all have a racing pedigree, such as h&R running championship winning team in the European Carrera Cup etc
the likes of Apex & Pi probably support your local demolition derby teams

Yeah I like the Eibach springs..... but they cost around £120 then Ive been quote £80 for fitting, that £200 just for lowering the car, would be interested if I could get it for £150, but for a little less than £200 I can get my windows tinted.......

noonster - forget about getting window tints, the tint already in your windows suits the colour of the car perfectly

k cool, I want to get it lowered 35mm on Eibach, but I sometimes have a full load in the car (3 in back, 2 in front) and the people in the back aint thin either 
Also theres sometimes shopping in the boot, just want to see what it looks like and make sure the car will still drive without scrubbing on the arches, and that I can get over speed bumps

u';ll have no probs on speed bumps as u have no big "kit" on ur car.
i cant get over some of them due to my car sittin around 2.5 inch fromthe ground...so i think speed bumps would be a piece of piss for u mate.
as for gold penguin >>yeh my tyres are tucked in the arches lol

depends wat kit u go for and wat places u'll have to drive up etc...
ie me >> psg front on my car, i cant reverse in my drive. i can drive in front ways if i go at an angle..and sumtimes it scuffs slightly when reversing.
Also, if they dig up the raod to re-surface an u have to drive over it, i get it catching aswell. Many multi story carparks are undrivable for me aswell. Theres only one in glasgow that i can go in and can only go upto the 3rd floor as the other raMPS ARE steeper as we found out one night lol

Yes alloys tuck up under the rear arches. Ther is about 3-4 inches in the arches.
