Had my car lowered earlier, But just looking at it, It doesn't seem any lower. Used the Eibach pro kit 30mm springs.
Do these take a few miles to bed in?

Part number on the box is E10-85-014-07-22.
Last time I lowered a car it was near enough to the height that day. That was using Jamex springs though, Only downside was a crashy ride.

Just wanted to check the springs are right for your car, which they are! Eibachs may need more time to settle as said above

I double checked online before going to pick them up, Then again in the shop, Didn't want to get the car stripped down then find they were wrong, lol!
Might take it for a run in a bit, Something to do whilst the missu's isn't talking to me!
