    Still not 100% happy with the ride height on Eibach springs - but coilovers are on the shopping list for new year

    They're really really nice

    Just one thing though... they're going to be a pig to clean!

    Very nice mate. I've got 18's too which has increased the ride height very slightly so I'm debating whether I should buy coilovers or not.

    If you're happy spending out on some camber arms etc, then I can HIGHLY recommend the Eibach Sportsline springs. (I'll hunt for a piccy for you to show how they settle on 17's)

    Very nice indeed...what drop did the springs give you?

    If you do change to coil-overs next year, remember me as I may be interested in the springs.

    The were supposed to be ~ -50mm drop. I'll get a side on snap when I get my car back from Mr LPG in the next day or so. I've just invested in front camber correction bolts and about to buy rear camber arms too as they got shot to pieces!

    .. that was, until Bren came up with the coil-over deal

    Anyway, looks 'ard as nails

    I like 'em, I do wonder what they would look like without the centre cap.

    lovely wheels, how much have the eibach springs dropped the car by? still looks like quite a big gap between arch and wheel?

    Again, they do look very nice

    Can i ask how much they set you back with the tyres?

    And being TSW's whats the quality like? Are they quite heavy?

    Cheers for all the comments guys and yes they are a bitch to clean

    I was a bit dubious bout buying TSW but the quaity is faultless - a lot better than the TSW's I had a few years back

    Got them fairly cheap - £470 for the wheels and £440 I think for the tyres from Apex . I was gonna have some Buddy Clubs but these came up at that price and I couldn't resist .

    The springs are Eibach Sportsline Pro which I think are 35mm drop.

    I think they look very nice I'm not a fan of 18's on 200's generally, but they look good

    Nice wheels, good to see something different

    Try them without the centre cap too
