I'll keep that in mind... i bet a Cobra would have a shock if a Toledo diesel overtook it anyway haha. I'm gonna drop mine about 20mm too, something just to give it a bit more "stick" to the corners. Thanks for the advice

@Colin C, how much is that lowered by?
As Hugh said Eibach quote 45 to 50mm lower but the V5 is already 20mm lower than standard so I would say they have lowered by about 25 to 30mm. I have no before and after measurements as my old front springs broke. I have always used Eibach Pro springs before but I'm really pleased with these, lowered just the right amount ( I don't like Toledo's too low as the rear wheels move too far forward in the rear arch IMHO ) and the ride quality is very good, slightly bouncy wheel pushed on A roads but that's down to the 90K mile shocks rather than the springs.

Finally got around to fitting my LCR wheels, I didn't think they would suit the Toledo but now they are on I think they look pretty good, sorry I didn't get chance to clean it first

heres mine and yes that is an lcr splitter on the rear bumper didnt like the way my exhaust looked and thought id try something different.
where did you get the splitters from and how much wer they? I can't find them anywhere for the Tolly
they are the splitter from the leon cupra r, they're around £20 from the seat dealers, the part number is 1ml805903, you need to cut them a bit and screw it on. there are guides on how to do it on here, the splitter on the back of mine is the same as the front one just thought i'd experiment a bit to see what it looked like.
Here's mine, I wanted to wait until i got her lowered etc but at least it's a work in progress...
I don't know 'bout you guys but I love my car!

Looks good Bob, alloys are very smart - I love mine too
The only thing that could tempt me away is a WRX but not much chance of that at the moment.
Also loving tollydans - nice work there matey!

that white one looks like an Alsatian, great front and a knackered back-end, it could be so much better...it's probably got exhaust clamps on the springs to get it that low...which unless you live on an airfield means you ain't going too far from home without grounding it...but then again not everyone likes the same.

thanks, i think yours is one of the best if not the best toledo i have seen. yorkshire bob i need to get mine lowered too, think it would a lot better with the wheels tucked into the arches more.
