Is there any kits available that lowers around 50mm for the AGP?

I've just had the Eibach Sportlines fitted to my GPA. The wheel's fill the arches now and the ride isn't too harsh apart from if you drop a wheel into a pot hole. Turn in is a vastly improved and there's less yaw and roll when taking a corner at speed imho although this would be further improved by uprated anti-roll bars. I would say well worth the money. A lot of people here recommend the pro-kit however which I believe offers a less harsh ride and won't drop the ride hide as far.

Check www.potn.co.uk for good prices on both and great customer service.

Look out in the members cars section as I'll be uploading some pictures at weekend.

Better still fork out for some coilovers. Just put some on my Evo last night and the handeling is soooo much better. 50mm drop all round. Not cheap but ride quality is alot better than just fitting springs.

Took this picture just after they were fitted on my phone in low light (poor quality), they have dropped a bit lower now I've been driving it a few days. Will put some decent pics up when the weather gets better.

Russ hope you dont mind but could you PM me the cost of all the fitting and correct setup and were it took place. Might go down that route with my AGP at some point.

Cheers,

Tom

My mate's a Ford mechanic and done it all for me. Haven't had any sort of geometry set up just yet. Will just look for abnormal tyre wear as it handles great  :)

Think it was 10mm or so. Could e wrong tho. Te sport kit lowers more I think. Handlig is supposed to be better on the pro kit tho I think (not driven one with sport kit tho)

Think they are a bit firmer the the SS kit...

I nearly went for SS springs, but hibachis seemed to have a better rep/cheaper... win!
