Yeah pretty sure that was it, quite happy as it looks dark but isn't too dark looking out
Will have to see how it is at night
Got the wife's car done as well, but a little lighter

Yeah I caught up with T Bone the other day and his is dropped - looks really good
Is a work car though so needs to be practical, has more clearance than I expected and haven't scrapped it on any drives yet
Will get the front lip spoiler first and see if there is room to maybe drop 35mm

I've got Eibach's sitting in the garage ready to go in, just haven't had time to fit them. My Mk3 Golf has been playing up. needed a new battery and I still need to replace the alternator as its not charging the battery properly. fun times lol

Thanks mate! @Fizz This is how it sits with Bilstein B14 coilovers under the guards.

How do you rate the ride comfort with the change?
Is it a big difference all round or just big bumps?
I will assume handling has increased ten fold.
Are they the adjustable height versions?

The ride comfort is quite good considering the reduction in ride height. I mean it's not a comfy as the stock set up but it's definitely fine for daily driving.
I've hit bump stops a few times but that's only been at highway speeds on rural roads not being able to dodge potholes or ruts.

Yep it digs in through corners now and tends to have less understeer and more oversteer tendencies. I haven't tracked it yet to find out how it really goes though.
They are height adjustable to a maximum drop of 50mm. I think my fronts had about a 45mm drop and the rear around 40mm.

The only 2 negatives I have about them are at low speeds when going lock to lock / moving slow while turning you can get clunking from the springs as they move in the spring seats from time to time. The other is the B14's aren't dampening adjustable and seem just a bit bouncy for my liking, i prefer a bit of a firmer setup. In hindsight i should've spent that bit extra and gone with the B16's as they are dampening adjustable.

Have you done any suspension work to yours?

That looks awesome! did you fit spacers or anything for the wheels? or are they still tucking? i was thinking of getting either F10mm and R15mm or F15mm and R20mm but it all depends what's the gap like after fitting the springs and once they settles.
