they are deffo 20mm eibachs!

I bought and fitted them! they are 20mm lower than a std 16v.

so it is a 50mm drop over a srd carb model iirc!

get coilovers, angle grinder, some wide ass 15s and have a good old play..

arch grinding is a piece of piss, and potentially saves your tyres if you have to give to 4 'large' mates a lift!!
