off venom then its either a 25 or 30mm all round drop with the pro kit or go for the sportlines' which lower the back 35-40 and the front 45-50 would the second option mean me having to get new shocks? sorry for all the questions I just one to be sure mate

Get these:

Much better, and a bloody good price too!

Rear arches are lower on the body of the car anyhow, so it would look ok. Id get the HnR ones ive just linked to though - I know the ride is comfy on these :)

tough decision as there both about the same price, you would choose h-n-r over eibach then?

dcpeformance and even eibach's own website are doing about 20% off the sportline kit so its only £104 plus £12 delivery, think thats a good price. I don't think I would be dissapointed with eibach or h&r but I think the eibach sportline for the drop it gives you at the price its hard to beat unless you buy a crap brand

Nice one alex that looks perfect, and is that on the sportline eibach springs and not the pro kit, ive ordered the sportline springs this morning, less than £120 delivered.

Just got to get them fitted now, hope that won't be to much £ and I hope my standard shocks can deal with the lowering springs because I would rather not change them fo now
