Eibach pro kit with 16" alloys?
« on: 13 July 2011, 10:57 »
Hey guys.

Due to a lack of budget im sticking with the standard 16" montys for now, but i will be lowering on Eibach pro kit soon.

Does anyone else run this setup?

Opinions and pictures would be much appreciated  :smiley:

wolverine - Planning to lower it 30mm all round mate, apparently there shouldn't be any problems if the drop is less than 40mm

Rhyso - Very nice, are you using spacers?

Mine's the 5 door blue by the way and at the time it wasn't using spacers.  I later fitted BBS RC's and stuck 20mm spacers on the back.  When I sold it I left the spacers on the back and stuck the original alloys back on

Rhyso - Was the ride on Eibach any harsher than standard setup?
