Default Ford Focus Eibach lowering kit

Hi i'm looking for some lowering spring for our focus, Does anyone know how much the ford accessory springs lower the car by ?

http://www.fordonlineparts.co.uk/pro...8_F1358918-157

Or can you recommend some springs really dont want to stiffen the ride comfort to much if I can help it.

Typically its 30mm on those, they really do improve on the handling

Was hoping to go 25 so 30 wouldn't hurt, Its always had too much arch gap since I fitted st wheels and now out of warranty the time has come.

I'm never going to know how its going to ride until they are fitted, just hope the misses dont complain

I have seen many many standard cars running ST wheels on the eibachs and it does suit the stance of the car very well.

I've got eibach springs on mine. I wouldn't say it handles noticeably better, definately more firm though!

Don't know for sure about the standard cars, but the Ford-supplied Eibach kit for the Focus ST drops it by 15mm.
