Hi everyone, new to thease forums I have just bought a 2003 st170, I want to lower it on standard dampers I looking at ebach springs with a 30 to 35 mm drop all round keeping the wheel size at 17, but when I look at the kits it says they lower the front by 20mm and the reason by 25mm so iam abit confused any help on this matter would be appreciated Thanks

20 to 25mm is low enough. if you go any lower it will have a negative effect on the handling.

Eibach springs are perfect with standard dampers, about a 30mm drop.
