Email on its way in a bit. Cheers mate!
Received mate. I'll have a bash tonight and email it back to you
Nice one. I have sent two emails as they wouldn't fit on one! If you only want to do one, it is the one attached to the second email (the second pic in the post above). Looking forward to seeing the results...
Pre-lowering ride height
I have just been out to the car and measured how high the ride height is... I measured from ground to top of the wheel arch on both sides of the car, going through the centre of the wheel (NOT wheel to arch gap). You can also compare this to your ride height (standard or lowered on springs/coilovers etc...)
The results are: Front ride height = 63cm, Rear ride height = 64cm. (standard FR suspension, tractor-style)
When the Eibach springs go on tomorrow and the car settles a bit, I will re-measure and post on here the total amount lowered!
Now get out there with your measuring tape...

I measured mine the same way before and after fitting my coilovers. Standard 'Sport' suspension before,
Before
Front - 63cm / Rear - 66cm
After
Front - 59cm / Rear - 60cm![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
I can still lower the car more, but then it'd be silly low
Measuring it like that isn't the best way due to different wheels, tyre pressures etc.

Good drop you set it to then... fair play! I will just have to see what these springs settle at.
You should get a decent drop with the springs....anything is better than standard!
That was a good idea to measure the before and after. I'm sorry I didn't think of doing it.
I have already measured from the arch to the middle of the wheel, and it sits at 32cm both front and back.
Tomorrow after I fit the new wheels I'll measure the full length and let you know.
