Lowering Springs

Anyone know where I can get some lower springs that include the rear links?

Eibach dont do them, H&R only supply the front springs.

cheers

The air springs on the back would be (potentially) harder to do. Just moving the sensor to make it think it was at the proper height would change the spring rate, so the whole assembly woud need to be replaced, assuming I understand things properly. Think it's live with what you bought unless you've got deep pockets.

AC Schnitzer do them as well as Hartge but not easy getting them in the UK.

That looks 100% better, here is mine standard height. I love your wheels, r they 22"?? I chose 20" to try and get some comfort back and keep road noise down. I must say my car is soooo much comfier now the 19" run flats are gone.

Quad pipes really set the car off.
