Well that is an improvement...............dunno why they didn't build it like that in the first place.
Ride is little changed altho possibly slightly more jiggly over sharp imperfections (but then it always was a bit due to the 17 inch wheels) less body roll.
Eibach guff indicated that the standard dampers were OK with these springs although if upgrading, recommended going to Bilstein B8 and I would agree with that as most of the time it feels fine, but if things get a bit upsy, downsy, the front does not feel quite as well damped as it could be.
I checked out the price of a set of B8's but the freight was rather alarming so that can go on the back burner for now.
Right, well B8's and a rear ARB fitted today and a quick test drive along a windy road leaves me wondering again, why don't they make them like this in the first place.
Awesome little car. Must handle like a go kart now.
Yeah, bought back a smile I haven't felt since my Lotus owning days
Does this need wheel spacers to finish the job?

Half inch wider rim and 6mm less offset just about gets the wheels in the right place.
Looks good.
What tyres ?
Thanks, huge improvement in looks from the standard ride height.
Tyres are Bridgestone Potenza 215/40 R17
I'm really digging this! great work!
Thank you, I'm quite pleased with the look however the handling now far exceeds performance but is really good for dropping tailgaters on the twisty bits
