Well, this morning i dragged my ill body out of bed to wash and polish the car ready for some pics with the lowering springs fitted!

Here's the results!
This shows how tight the drive is. Have about 15mm clearance over the wall for opening the door! :)

Cheers for all the positive replies.

In answer to some of the questions:

creedy : can't really give any suggestions as i've never been in a car with Eibach lowering springs. All i can say is that the H&R springs lower more than eibach one, and the ride comfort with springs hasn't been affected too much!!! Just have to go a little slower over speedbumps!!!

Kenny : the alloys are currently just sat behind my garage. Might trial fit them this week again now the car is lowered, if i'm still unsure they'll be going on Ebay!!!
