Lowering

Been thinking about dropping my sporting a bit

looking at eibach springs as they seem to be quite highly rated and when i owned a stilo most people in that section had lowered their stilos with them so they seem a good choice!

Found these in the UK..

http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.u...0-30-010-02-22

Not a bad price but it dont say what the drop is...

Anyone hazard a guess what it is or know of any other suppliers for the springs in the UK?

The site i found those springs on, also have them for all the models if any other people are interested.

Cheers
Bob

*Edit*
http://www.lkperformancestyling.co.u...s&product=2644

Also found those with 35mm drop hmmmm
