Just had some boge springs fitted to mine, on 18inch alloys, taken the sh!te Ventura ones off, Ride quality is 10 times better and sits perfect.

I paid £110 for -40mm progressively sprung eibachs.  Expensive, but that was the cheapest I could find for eibachs.  Worth it I reckon. :smiley:

I lowered mine ages ago, and 6 months later got my steering rack and power steering replaced under warranty.  Don't think they'll care, but I suppose it depends on the garage.
