Joe - What brand of springs are you selling? I have an Ed 30 and want it just slightly lower but more for the extra firmness.
I find the standard Ed 30 ride very choppy.
Any pics of the car with the old springs on?

Cheers.

H&R springs are good and you get the correct drop, Eibach while good dont drop the 30mm they say they do.

I agree on the H&R as another choice, I orginally wanted Eibach but it was when there was a problem with the rear ride height so went for H&R - cant fault them, ride height is perfect and its firm but not too firm.

I am wanting to lower my Ed30 as I am planning for some 19" CH black edition  :laugh: Awesome have quoted me £1200 for eibach coilovers and arb's fitted. This is an awful lot of money and more than I really want to spend. All I want to do is drop the ride height a little to make the wheels fill out the arches a bit more, would a good set of lowering springs and arb's possibly H&R achieve the look I am after without denting the wallet to much  :smiley:

Yes it will indeed as this is the main reason for my lowering - £500 for the parts, £120 labour to fit them = job done.

There are some pics of mine knocking about on 19 CH lowered so you can see the height you will get, search and you shall find.
