Anyone fitted sportlines on facelift FR...

Has anyone fitted eibach sportlines lowering springs on a facelift FR with the standard 17" wheels fitted?
Thinking that it will be too low with the standard 17's.
Is it worth waiting to get 18" wheels first before fitting sportlines?

And if so do you have any pics.

Oh and it's a 50mm front/ 35mm rear drop

I don,t think it will make any difference because your tyres on 17,s will have 225/45/17 and 18,s will be 225/40/18 so on a par will be the same might look lower but not

I've worked out that it will be 7.5mm lower on 17's as apposed to 18's.

For those of you with 18's, how close are you to bottoming out on speed bumps?

Looks good mate, was that a 50/35mm drop?
And do you get many problems with speed bumps/kerbs?

Yeah mate don't think it's dropped 5cm at the back but it's dropped a fair but as you can see.

Kerbs not really bumps yes. Especially those little ones which just fill your side of the road. Best thing to do is slow down but accelerate over as it lifts the nose up a little.

Cool, aslong as there's no major issues. I've heard going into those speed bumps at an angle also helps

And just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for fitting? I'll be doing mine myself and then paying for a 4 wheel alignment check.
