    Can run polo or Audi 80 strut tops, would give somewhere between .5" and 1" depending on what you have now, the condition they are in, and if/how you install a spacer in the new mounts.
    I tried test fitted some but wasn't sold on the idea and info on the net was a lot of negitive feedback on the net

    I fitted some of the lowered strut tops to my old e36 and they worked fine. Realistically archived maybe 10 to 15mm lower but everything helps I guess. I'll post photos when I'm back at my lap top if that helps. In the mean time here's the link to the place I bought mine.

    Venom Motorsport Performance Car Parts - EBC Brakes, Black Diamond Brakes, FK Suspension, Eibach Suspension, Weitec Suspension, Supersport Suspension

    Nice work on the rims too, just purchased something similar for the a3

    not sure what the go is there mate. See below post regarding the possibility of installing Audi 90 strut tops.

    Said that above.

    have you taken your helpers out? do that and drop a tyre size, should get you a good inch lower
