Hi all, And happy new year!

I have seen some OMP springs with a 35mm drop and i wonder if anyone can help with a few questions.

1, Will it be enough of a drop for a set of 18s or should i stick to 17s
2, Can i keep the standard shocks
3, Will i be able to get over speed bumps!

The plan is to get it lowered first (with the standard 16s still on) and then get a set of nice alloys, Has anyone got before and after pics as i have no idea what a 35mm drop will do!

thanks

35mm is an average drop for the car which will give you some comfort and improve the handling a great deal and the arches will take the 18" wheels fine but you might need a small spacer on the car [I think active Matt did when he fitted 18s].
Now if you want my opinion then I would also change the shocks FK sports shock is around £70 each for the fronts and gaz shocks do a good rear one which is ride adjustable and called GT7 £64 I think I wouldn't personally use the standard shocks .

Personally id drop it more than 35mm, depends how much you value comfort and speed over speed bumps tho
