How much do you reckon Phil? Can you do the rear without doing the front?
Pics before and after lowering;
Have only gone down 30mm, not a massive visual difference (kinda wish i had gone down more...but i suppose being a high mileage daily driver ita best not to have it down on it's ass!) but handling is much sharper under cornering!

That looks about right dino for a daily driver, its sits nicely to my eye.
What make are the springs/dampers..?

Looks good
If they were brand new springs give it some time, it will get a little lower once they've settled in.
I had the 50mm Spax springs before my coilovers and they settled down nicely after a few weeks.

My fathers got a set of H&R springs on his urquattro and they do settle over time, i think it was about 10mm in his case.

Your car looks pretty ace, nice job on the washing. Do you think you'll end up going lower on different springs? 50mm on the back would be am amazing drop.

I'd quite like it lower but I'm happy with it at the mo and as I've said, its a daily driver and i don't want something so low its unusable over speed bumps, pot holes etc..
