Ive JUST lowered mine with Eibach springs( bought from Lohen....thanks Andre ) see the pics! The ride is firmer but i rekon it looks SO much better with no 4x4 massive gap between wheel and arch now.

it looks so much better when lowered...but still that lip will be a problem surely! i might just not get the aero kit and lower it then....the arches are worse than the lack of the kit imo
