i believe its 30-35mm, the back is probably a fraction (maybe 5mm max) lower than usual as the boot has a sub and a couple of car batteries in it

Looks good man :happy2:

Thanks man, I highly recommend springs :) I'm thinking about getting HR coils in the future to go super low

Thanks all.

So I think I will go with Eibach springs and the Superpro ALK for now and see how I get on.

Then maybe the Antiroll bars as suggested.

If the oem shocks are upto the job, it should do me.

The 20mm drop should be enough for me.

How are people finding everyday life with a 20-30mm drop? Driveways, multistory car parks an issue?
