So i am right in assuming the gap has been reduced a bit or an inch??

The stock gap is massive, but i prefer a bit of a threshold in case you hit a bump etc

Oh the gap has been reduced a bit. I'd just like it a bit more! Maybe I've been lookin at the USA gallery for 2 long, but the car would definitely look better being a nick lower.

Would love this kind of height but I'll need coilovers

Does it look better or can you not tell the difference with a small drop?

I'm dying to see what mine will look like with swift springs.
The swift springs lower it more than the Eibachs, I was parked near a members car the other day who had them fitted, and it was much lower than mine.

This thread has made me annoyed at the Eibachs that are fitted to mine, so I've just got off the phone to the people who fitted and supplied them for me.

They've said if I bring the car in, they'll get onto Eibach and send the springs back after swapping them for Tein ones.

I'll report back with what deal I've worked out with them.

Maybe im wrong but IIRC swifts sport mach are .7 front, near enough an inch rear.

Thought eibachs lowered more?

Well, the proof was when mine was parked near his, mine looked barely lower than the stock S's. I asked him what coilovers he had on his when he replied it was swift springs, so the swifts lower more than Eibach.

Look at tiger289's in the pic above too, Tein's easily lower the S more than Eibachs, despite some websites saying the Eibachs lower more.
