No difference from std on mine and I have plenty of bad bumps and poor roads near me. Just a front splitter fitted, no sti winglets. Car doesn't go on trackdays etc.

beakerdoo your car still looks pretty low for 25/30mm drop front/rear...or is it just the angle the pic was taken?

ive got to be honest.i dropped it till the back arch was just about level with the 18's..and the front i left it a little higher just for clearance over the bumps.i don't know what the exact drop is.if your saying its more. it will be.i think it will be more like 40mm possibly 50mm I'm not too sure m8..

i think overall you can drop your car a fair bit.i feel its the front lip splitter that will overall determine how low you go
if not you will be taking a lot of detours m8

hope this helps.

it looks damn good and if you've got no issues then that's great have you got coilovers (being adjustable)? is the ride ok?

i'm no expert but mine's a 25mm drop front and rear and you can clearly see the difference i reckon yours is about 50mm...

sorry i've forgotten his username, but jon has a 50mm drop on his car and no clearance problems either. i guess you also have to consider your wheel/tyre combination and how you're gonna use the car...i agree, practicality comes first for me. and everybody's ride tolerance is different anyway!

Dropped on Eibach springs and riding on 215x40x19. Speed bumps are certainly a pain!!

How have found the Kw's to be like? How much where they if you don't mind?

I took a mate's M3 for a spin with Kw's was awesome, made me wish i had spent bit extra an bought a set instead of the BC's.

i have no regrets buying the kw's.i have them set up firm but not too hard and coupled with the white line anti roll,drop links and strut brace i saw a great improvement over the standard suspension.you can set it to your own preference as these also has damper rebound settings.
i paid something like £ 1250.00 ish cant exactly remember but around that figure.
