Evening all, just thought i'd post a piccy of my c70 with it's 20mm drop on spax springs. Very happy with the look. The back end always looked way to high imo compared to the front. Even though it's a 20mm drop all round, the car looks more horizontal now then when it was on the standard springs. The ride is better threw the corners, with no loss in comfort, so very impressed overall.
The back also has 15mm eibach spacers on the wheels to fill the arch a little.

Yep genuine 18" pegs with 235/40/18 pirelli p zeros. Fronts have 3mm spacers only because the pirellis have a protective rim on the inner side which sticks out. I purchased the wheels with these tyres on. Ideally they should have 225/40/18's and no rubbing.
When they wear out that's what will be going on.

The eibach 15mm spacers on the back came with longer bolts. The originals are no where near long enough. The 3mm spacers on the front are using the original bolts.

h.t.h.
