Re: Finally got round to lowering it!
To be honest I can’t tell the differance as yet, only drove a few miles home from work so will let you know next week.
I have a 500 mile trip next week will soon know, the problem now is I want bigger wheels

Re: Finally got round to lowering it!
I used the Eibach Pro kit 45 mm drop.
Need it be be practical, use it daily and go over rough ground so need a bit of clearance , also like the fact it’s a dealer option so should not affect the warranty.

Nice one mate... Looking good

Yes, mine was standard at back but factory lowered at the front so it’s only gone down another 20mm ish. Looks much better and still ok for my MTB trips.

Quick update, 600 miles this week but the suspension had somehow made the steering wheel kick to the left and a slight pull in the same direction.
Had the wheel Alignment adjusted and its spot on now, handling has improved without much differance in ride quality. Would recommend the Eibach kit for those who don’t want a huge drop but with better handling and looks.
