Hi John, I wanted to lose the big gap between the wheelarch and tyre, so I fitted Eibach Pro lowering springs, 25mm lower along with the 18's for looks and handling

excuse my ignorance so if i have a fifteen inch wheel and change it for an eighteen in wheel because of the difference in the tiers they are basically the same height i was hoping to raise the car a little bit

Yes, the wheel/tyre combinations that are recommended (see table below) means that the rolling radius remains approximately the same. This ensures the speedometer stays within legal limits of accuracy. The only way to raise/lower the body is to modify the suspension. TC |
