Default lowering?

So I got my 18' OEM pegs (anthracite) .....Curious if anyone has this setup and has gotten their car lowered to get rid of the huge gap from tire to wheel well... Thanks!!

Looks good! I have the 17" Pegs and lowered my car with Eibachs. (About 1 1/4") The back end is a bit higher than I would like, but overall I am pleased with the ride. I believe the H&R springs provide a bit more drop.



I get some slight rubbing in thefull left or right hand turn position but it only happens when parking so I haven't changed the turn-stops yet. I posted a how-to on the rear suspension a while back if you are planning on doing the work yourself. (GL )

Awesome, I will definately check out the different kits. I'm planning on doing it myself, and I found your post. Very Helpful. Thanks!

I have 18" pegs on my S60 but with H&R springs. Gave me 1.4" drop all around and the ride is still pretty good. I heard the eibachs have a better ride but they also drop it less. i think about 1 1/4"

^^ Yup, I measured about 1 1/4" drop after about a week of settle time...
