Would that effect the handling at all? That is a massive difference between the front and rears.

well i was getting told by my dads friends who races rallycross that i should raise the rear end of my car more to get it to turn in better, so cant see a problem with 50 and 25 prob would of gone for the 30 rear tho

Yes handling has definitely improved in comparison to the standard setup, although tis no formula 1 car...

I only wanted a small drop nothing major tbh and I have been told that Eibach are a decent manufacturer....

do you think it would be a good idea to put decent tyres on standard 14"s???

Agreed... but for if you was going for good springs you would want good struts aswell. Something like koni adjustables or billsteins are good value for money unless you want to spend lots.

In this case for a nice cheap lowering job on standard struts you can do if for £60ish, just check out ebay...

Yes £125.99 is the price on POTN for the exact same kit as I have... (+ £10 delivery)

I got them @ trade price I believe I think norry said that they were £100 for the actual springs then £10 delivery so I did get a good deal...

And one of Norry's mechanics fitted them for £40 (was quoted £110 @ garage) it took him 1 hour 15 mins I think...

Do you think it would be a good idea to get a front Strut brace aswell?

Got some nice pictures of a new evo engine in their garage

I was also surprised to hear that app the FQ-400 is ummm shiny/bright
