Yeh Ive got 16's, when i fitted them i was going to lower it a bit more but it'll catch on too many things if i do :(

Even on 17's tho i'd say mine was lower than both of yours, the front tyre was a litte tucked :D

Well its these eibach you see, great for the front but not so much the back lol. Have you got rear spacers? mines fine at the back, had a car full yesterday and the back was nicely tucked. It caught a few times but nothing major

No, i did have spacers, but i did the stupid think of buying them cheap of ebay. Had them on about a week and the spigot in the middle sheared. The wheels was still on fine, just the spacers where knackered. Dont mind it without spacers tbh

God only knows. Noticed a little clinking noise and checked them and thats what i found. When i took the wheel of the circular centre bit stayed on the wheel and the spacer stayed on the hub lol was confusing for a second or so.
