Depends what it is.

Non-sports need 60mm or they look standard.

Eibach sportlines are the best for standard shocks by far, they lower 50mm.

60mm. I went 35mm and regretted it, then bought 60mm. Then coilovers.

They don't, they just claim to. Realistically it's about 30mm.

 

[AhmedRSi]

60mm or dont bother! Buy my suspension kit!

I've found the eibach sportlines and standard shocks to b excellent, driven on them for te last week and the car feels so much more stable compared to the standard cup springs. Will get some koni rear shocks when the standard ones fail!

 

[mat-nos]

-60mm shock and spring set....

 

[AhmedRSi]

-60mm shock and spring set....

If you want to look at your car and think "yeah thats low!" I'd be going for 60mm all round. But i think it would kill off some ride and handling comforts.

If you want to see your car yourself as lowered slightly to close the arch gap, look smart and also have a comfortable ride and better handling at the same time; Eibach Sportlines imo.

 

[mat-nos]

yes if the tyres are 205/40 profile and max off set of between et35 and et45, you shouldnt have any probs...

 

[N4TH4N]

ok i do have 205/40 profile.. how do i work out the offset i want to go 60mm drop otherwise ni point

 

[N4TH4N]

also noticed some springs are sold 60mm front and 40mm why is that
