50mm eibach springs, anything less then that is pointless. everyone who goes for 30mm springs wishes they didnt.

My old 1.4 with 17" RS4 wheels, lowered 30mm, see what i mean. Looks s**t. Need 50mm

I have 30mm and rs4's and i would never get the 50mm - unless u drive about urself - because 30mm down rubs enough !!

Thing is tho, when its @ 30mm, the tyre is at its widest part, and so anymore makes no difference! If you get me

40mm is your best bet really, anything else and your gonna have to have arch mods done, 17's are seriously not a good idea to get if you want the car sitting on its bumflaps!
