Been thinking of getting some for my LE. Just wanted to see how it sits on 18" alloys.

So fire away people!!!

I have just bought some,just not got them on the car yet

For those that do have these installed, I would like to read your thoughts on how they perform too. Do they make the ride much firmer? With 18" wheels, is there a lot of rubbing?

Been thinking the same for my LE too be nice to see some pics

The drop is noticible, but only just, looks and handling improved by having wheel spacers, some prefer just at rear, I have and prefer spacers all round. This obviously adds to the cost as you need new extended wheel bolts and extended locking wheel nuts!

The effect on the ride is hardly noticeable ie only slightly firmer and totally suited to a daily driver family car..

I have just had front and rear uprated ARB's fitted now the firmness of those is noticeable! I am going to back these off to a less firm setting.

Never had an issue with any rubbing either fully loaded with the kids for holiday or on the track.

This thread needs some pictures guys....

Do a search loads of pics of cars with eibach pro's

Keechy I have Eibach Pro's and Bilsteins fitted.

Thanks grizzle I do like the way yours sits. Would it sit the same on standard shocks?

Will be replacing them but just not yet.

mine is on eibach pro's and std shocks, see my pic below...

eibach prokit 20mm drop.

nowhere near rubbing. ride is slightly firmer than stock, but still very comfortable.

My old car, stock height:

.. and on eibach pros:

TBH unless you had a before and after picture to compare you wouldn't have noticed it was lowered - drop was minimal.

Rob that first picture can never be on standard suspension surely; that looks lower than my old vrs on eibachs and konis?

It is, honest!

Your before picture looks lower than my vrs... Strange that lol.

I'm in two Minds now. I have lowered most of my cars and then wanted more lows. On my first car (clio 1.2) I bought cheap coilovers which were rubbish to drive with but gave a good stance. So don't know if coils wound all the way up to start would be the best route to go. Then if I want more lows its just a 20 min job to do it.

Been searching on here for past day and noticed for mid budget coils are around 400 ish... So may just go down that route. More research needed tbh!!!

Coilovers are pointless, you want a good spring and damper setup

here is mine on Eibach's

With the Bilstein dampers fitted they arent meant to lower the car the B6 dampers it sits properly for me cant stand stupidly low cars looks like utter nonsense.

Just yesterday after a wash and some Z2

+1.

that cannot be standard height for the vrs.

this is what mine looked like on std springs.

then after.....

Got to agree with this. My vRS looked much higher than Rob's first pic standard. I've lowered on a H&R Comfort Cup Kit (-20mm) and achieved a similar drop to the pics above.
