No, it's about the average drop for most of the Coupes on here that have been lowered smile

No,
not if you live by nice smooth roads and have a mate who's a chiropractor.

Yes,
If you live in the west midlands!
and you mates a window cleaner with no knowledge of the workings of the human spine.

As above. You'll be fine on a -35mm drop.

But just be carefully of those middle of the lane speed humps, (the ones which 4x4's tend to just straddle over). And any steep full road width bumps, or driveways with sharp upward angles.

NP - Eibachs drop about 30-35mm no probs and it'll improve the looks no end as well as the handling. Yes it'll stiffen the ride but the Eibachs still combine to dampen well IMO.

do you need to change shocks too or do the eibach springs work with the original shocks..i will, hopefully, ultimately be upgrading both but my moding will be on a budget...
