HEY man
For your own benefit please buy the Eibach springs.You donīt want your car to suffer do you???I used not to like Eibachs due to the small lowering but now i am very happy with them.Thats just my opinion but for your info i had a lot of problems with the previous springs(Viden)with lowering about 5-6cms.

Having that low of a drop WILL cause rubbing. Especially with that size tire/rim combo. You can roll your fenders a little and you won't get too much rubbing...but if you hit a large bump..you'll still get some. If you really want B&G, go for the 1.5" drop. wink.gif

Cool, I didn't know that they were available yet.
Are they "sleeve" type coilovers that just replace the springs, or are they full coilovers that replace the strut and spring?
