That will be very low. Just fitted vwr springs and with a full car have scraped speed bumps even at very low speed

Im running eibach sportlines which are 35mm i think but the front is slightly lower 45mm no problem with rubbing or scrapping at all here's pic's

40mm will be fine. H&R do 40mm springs

My sportlines rub front and back with passengers, but only because i've got some fat-ass 235 tyres on lol

That due to the 19's too?

Mine are 18 with 225 tyres never had a problem with rubbing.

I had Eibachs on the R (not sure how much they drop by) but the tyre profile on the 19" wheels is 235/35 and there was no issue with rubbing at all.

Think the Eibachs or H&R's are the way to go they both look smart.

That picture above of the Red Leon... A little off topic. What alloys are those?

Yeah H&Rs for me as they give an even drop, whereas the Eibachs are a more nose down look.

H&R's are £150 delivered from Germany too

That looks awesome, the drop is perfect and has sealed the deal for me with the H&R's. I run H&R's on my last car and they were very good springs. The wheels have a motorsport look to them which I like a lot. :thumbup:
