    I'd not be convinced about a cheap kit for lowering a car - you get what you pay for....

    I've not tried it, but personally I wouldn't get a £120 lowering kit from ebay for my £x thousand pound car...

    I had a bmw coupe with the eibach pro kit. The ride was how it should have been from the factory in the first place! When i have decided on what 19" Rims i want to get i'll be getting hold of a pro kit for my passat. Yes i can get you a set.

    I have a 2006 1.9TDi 105bhp Estate. I'm looking for 30mm springs - I don't think they do any lower than that do they?
