I've got these on mine. What a difference to the old ones! Match them with Koni shocks. Also, Ahmed only makes them to lower the car a max of 10mm otherwise it affects the MOT. Low enough in my opinion.

Sweet, I didn't actually know the drop on these, thought they were around -25mm which I didn't want!

Mine scrubs the fronts on standard ride height as it's on 18's as it is...

I dont know if its on 18's but im on 17's & its fine, it's never a 25mm drop, i would say more like a 15mm, the best thing is the ride & the handling.

Cheers Matt
