That does look very nice with the 18"s on it. I think you hit the nail on the head!

I had Eibach's fitted on my car yesterday, and I am very pleased with them.

The ride is no worse than standard (on 18" JCW rims) but then I have also binned the runflats for a set of Yokohama Parada's.

Changing the tyres made a huge difference to the ride quality and that is probably why I have not found the ride to be bad after fitting the springs.

It looks really good. Not too low, but just right.
