I have been thinking of dropping the car from the standard sports suspension to either Eibach Pro-Kit or Sportline. I understand that these will drop the car 25 mm and 50 mm.
As to get a better idea of how it will look I have done some Photoshop images. I would you’re your input as to state if the modified pics give either impression of either Pro-Kit, Sportline or something in between.<O:p</O:p<O:p

I think Lee330spot’s latest pics are awesome, installing the Sportline springs. (not forgetting those ACS rims) [cool
But I have a dilemma.
Where I work they have some very mean speed bumps, I have already have taken off a small nick of paint/plastic from the bumper going over at <10 mph (they are the sought that are full road width and about the length of the car and raised ramp at about 100 mm in height. These are in a 10mph speed area. I now go over then at walking speed.
<O:p
The car currently from the ground to the underneath of the bumper is 140 mm. So realistically I doubt that I can the Sportline as I will not get over the ramps.<O:p</O:p<O:p
Another approach is keep with the ACS theme, does anyone know how much these will drop the car. I gather these are re-badged Eibach springs (and charge an extra £100) is so which ones ares these?<O:p
I have noticed that there is a M3 occaionaly in the car park, I was thinking if he can get over the ramps than I should. So does any one know what the hight of an un-modifed bumper to ground is.<O:p</O:p<O:p
