I thought it was a -35mm drop all the way around...!?

re-read the first post, -35 as the standard B12 kit swap in HR springs it drops an extra 10 in the back making it -45

so I guess that explains part of it.

I read that but if i have really understand, the Bilstein B12 kit come in two configuration :

- SE5-8850 --> Bilstein shocks and Bilstein springs
Front Lowering
30
Rear Lowering
25

- SE5-8861 --> Bilstein shocks and H&R springs
Front Lowering
35
Rear Lowering
35

Here is my understanding but maybe i made a mistake....
Anyway, i have already made a purchase on the second configuration.
So, i'll see what it is !!

I thought it was 35 all round till you brought it up, either way it will look good.

It is GT3's kit but when measured by the suspension guys the came up with 40mm at the rear and 25mm at the front...don't know if thats how its meant to be or not but works GREAT for me.

Hey whubs copy away I just put diff rims on anyhow, hehe. Got the Type m's for sale, its a killer look but me with a crook back hard to clean.

I only have the springs at the moment, plus still haven't decided on rims... or figured out if I can go 8" wide after lowering aswell.

You still going the ROH? I saw some on an astra they actually looked alright spokes are still too thin for my liking but over all it looked alright.

I have just gone for these over ROH's for two main reasons. These are about 3.5 kg lighter per rim and they are 7.5" wide which nicely opens the tread on my Yokohama (and ok with H&R springs and Billie shocks) A.drive R1 tyres. 7.5" being optimum rim width for these tyres.
The ones I have tho are hyper-black - not the hyper silver which look a bit "chrommy" in the pic. These spokes are much thinner than the ROH's as you see but much lighter....I'm really happy with this..I'll take some pix on the weekend with them on the dub. Still I don't mind the look of the ROH's.
8" wide? hmmm might be pushing it.
