How? So low!!

My 5th gen has Eibach springs and is approx 30mm lowered, and when it had the 15inch Slipstreams it would bottom out on more or less every speed bump. I have since fitted the original 16inch Honda wheels and it is slightly better, but after I bought it I considered refitting the original springs. I've since decided to stay with the lowered springs as I have got used to them!

Is estimate mine is around 50 mm low and on 16s. But I won't go any lower and I'm soon moving to 17s

This is the lowest I have ever had mine, not sure exactly as it I have adjustable Miester r zeta S coilovers.
This was around 2 years ago. It wasn't practical at all but it felt and looked awesome.

I know have a very sensible height now

I'm about 45-50mm lowered on BC racing coilovers on 16" wheels. I would like to move to 17" soon..

's ok prelude 91,I was just joking, deliberately mis-quoting nitin for a laugh (he's not that old and I'm older than him).

I'm actually enjoying the standard ride with stock springs and 16" wheels. I like the look of lows, but Stoke roads are horrible. The moon surface I would wager is a better surface.
