That looks well nice, they sit so much better when dropped. I'm defo getting mine done now, going to go with the H&R springs 35mm drop, thanks for the link. you say the ride comfort it's that bad? That a bonus. I'm keeping the oem shocks aswell.

Do you slow alot for big speed bumps with the lowered suspension?

I snapped a suspension spring on my old car my going over all speed bumps at 30, don't know whether this would be a good mod for me lol

Why did you put 225/40 on?

i always slow for speed bumps.. 30 over a speed bump seems quite quick!

Great to see the pic of your car as I found some H&R springs on Ebay via a German seller at a great price, so they will be going on my C70 as soon as they arrive.

Only had the car a day but the ride height really needs sorting, so I'm glad I took the plunge. Think I have the same 18" (Mirzam) alloys too.
