Re: gp suspension

Eibachs wont give you a problem with ground clearance. It will void the warranty of the suspension parts but nothing else

Seems reasonable, 30mm at the back wont really be noticable unless yours is a sporting, which if i remember correctly yours isnt?

Stick with standard and save for the coilovers. Believe me,and if not me im sure puntokris will tell you the benefits of the coilovers, and as a rue of thumb he aint wrong about these sort of things.

Re: gp suspension

coilovers are the better option but if your on abit of a budget then springs will still do the job
