Got wiggles lowered today at PB on Eibach's, OMG I was not expecting that much drop!! the back and front are both amazing, and the drive! well all I can say is its better.. in so many ways (even more comforty than standard in a weird kinda way) ... and if your thinking of getting this done, do it!
Plus it makes it so much more fun, like a proper super fast go-kart, 50mph felt easily like 70, had a bit of a queue behind me on the M6 on the first part of my way back and twigged!
The downer was my 17'' wheels I got off ebay (that I was so looking forward to getting fit), even though listed as ford 4 stud, their not! only found out when alan tried sticking them on so had to put the standards back, plus due to lack of funds I had to cancel the piper cat back till next month

Ooooh, so the ride isn't too hard and crashy then? Keep noticing how HUGE the gap between my arches and wheels is!
I did ask for Eibachs as a graduation present but the mother wasn't impressed

Can you put a pic or two up grayfox so we can all have a gander at the ride height, please?
Also, were these fitted to standard shocks and if so, what were the mileage on them?

Here's mine on Eibachs (30mm), with original standard shocks, fitted at 8,826 miles in February, this year. When I checked a few weeks ago, the wheel centre to arch measurement was still the same as when fitted, so has not settled any lower since.

I had a complete set of Powerflex bushes fitted at Tremona Garage today, will comment on the bushes in the next few days, when they have had time to settle in.
