New Suspension Now Fitted (Pics attached)
My Gemballa Bilstein setup is now installed. Really pleased, the car now feels well & truely solidly planted at speed, and is comfortable around town....perfection?
Here are the pics of the car as it is now, 30mm dropped from euro 3.3 spec. PS: Also new front splitters fitted.

love the stance,simply perfecto....btw do you happen to know what the road to out fender lip height is ?
For other Susp gurus,can this stance be achieved by H&R and Bilsteins combo ?

Thanks all for all your compliments, I love the way it looks now. Today a little kid stopped and pointed (smiling with excitement!) ...but that may have been my exhaust ;-)
Yasir, the splitter isn't actually any lower than the standard rubber lip, just protrudes a little.
My setup is Bilstein shocks, and also they may be H&R springs, but to Gemballa specs. I am sure that with most adjustable height shocks you can go this low (only 30mm, they can go as much as 50mm!).
Y65, it looks low, but only 30mm off standard. I don't have B&B's, I have the Carrera (spelling?) headers which I don't think are any deeper than standard, but they certainly seem to work well.

Mark, that looks great - welcome to the club! Look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Y.S - Not that I'm a guru, but I've got the H&R springs with standard dampers which gives the same ride height pretty much - c.30mm lower.
Cheers,
Tim.

Hard to tell but ask Paul he did my suspension and IIRC he said he lowered it 30mm. The pictures are tough to tell by but I think they look about the same height.
