Yup, they are indeed Eibach ones. The before and after show it's actually a little lower!

My tea making skills are only second to my dancing skills.

In fact I think we would have been done by lunch if it wasn't for all bodypopping

Yeah the dancing did kinda slow us down!

BTW Chuff, glad you like the lights! Will give it a wash tomorrow and get some shots at BaD-VAG in daylight.

Done a bit of research on the springs and seems they're only drop 30mm at the front and 25m at the rear. Wishbones are now all spot on level at rest and it's settled a bit so I'm pretty happy. After all it's a daily and I want to enjoy driving it not terrified of arch rubbage and speed humps everytime I go out. If in the future I get a company car then I might well splash out on some Gaz coilovers and go a bit lower. That'll be after the 6 speed box and Torsen LSD go in it though. Then it'll get some TB's!

Cleaned this morning and then popped up Marcus's unit and re-fitted the rear spoiler. Drilled the holes in the spoiler, then drilled the boot, then tapped the boot so it bolts straight on. Job jobbed and I reckon the bolt's really finish it off!
