    Gents, your opinions, as always much appreciated. Replaced my shocks for Bilstein B4’s with standard springs and I’m sure she sits a bit higher. So, looking for some quality lowering springs to use with the B4’s The Eibach ones on eBay are calling to me. They’re £150 so on the more expensive side but just wondering if anyone has used them? Don’t want to compromise on ride to much as our roads are awful. Here’s a picture as she sits currently. 7480BD27-90FD-43F4-A9B4-DA8E8128BFB8.jpeg

    Honestly Brother - she looks good the way she is but if you want to change, I would locate genuine 16V springs, will drop it about 10-12mm and that's as far as you need to go in my opinion as it will just get crashy and you'll start scraping on stuff.

    I have them, fitted several sets, couldn't fault them.

    Car looks great, BTW
