I really want to fit mine but I don't think I'd get out of our drive with them fitted the car catches the ground with two people in it as standard.

It's only a 30mm drop, so not deviating massively from the OEM set up. I'm aware OEM set up shouldn't be messed with, but I don't do track days and my car is used for daily driving only.
I probably won't even notice a difference in handling, it's hard to even get out of 3rd gear some mornings to work!

It puts the drop links and control arms quiet a way out
You may struggle to get the rear in to correct geo alignment (assuming no seized bushes as well)
Plus the rear of the S doesn't have more than 60-70mm travel on the suspension, your rear shocks are really going to work hard!
I had mine at 35mm with coil overs and had problems with lip, exhaust and wheel arch clearance.
Looking at the pics you have going to have to put a load more camber on with those alloys.
Let it settle for a bit then get the geo done.

get it lowered they look so much better lowered
jonybravo78 - looks very nice and should settle over the course of a few journeys, try pitching it a bit hard into some corners to put load on the shocks.

From what I've read the Eibachs are no more than a 25mm drop.
Mine is having polybush and geo done at the same time on standard shocks. Couldn't decide on coilovers so I thought I'd fit these while I made my mind up.
Should be interesting to see if the adjustments can be done to get it adjusted properly without any additional hardware.
