My mate works in a tyre garage and he calls them plastic tyres!! He said that thay are the worst tyres ever!! Also a freind of a friend had some on a vauxhall and said thay are dangerous in the wet!!

Well ive got eibach springs and shocks but not fitted yet. Getting fitted this wednesday :evil: ive gone for 30mm drop as i have 18" wheels.

However ive been told by lots of people that eibach keeps the ride quality (obviously you will lose some) I will let you know what i think when mines done mate. Will also get some pic up  :wink:

IIRC you can go 40mm before you get any probs.
