Should have gone for some 19sLowered SC FR In blue and stock SC FR In black. Both on 225/40 18's.

To be honest if I'd wanted 19's I'd have bought them. I'm not trying to make it look like a cupra.Should have gone for some 19s

Didnt mean Cupra alloys.
What im trying to say is theres no much difference between the lowered and oem suspension, it starts looking better with bigger wheels, thats all
It's dropped 35 front and 30 rear. That's plenty for me but each to their own.

What springs you're on?It's dropped 35 front and 30 rear. That's plenty for me but each to their own.

The point of lowering suspension is partly to reduce arch gap but for me it was mainly about improving handling... something that fitting 19's with standard sports suspension as fitted to the FR will not do. The ride height will remain the same.

Must have missed this bitEibach Pro kit. As I said earlier...

These are only lowering your car by 20/15 as FR is already lower than the standard edition, im on the same ones
Is your car, your money, Im only expressing opinions

Are you sure they fitted the right springs? Maybe they fitted the set meant for the SE or a different engine FR spec? because that looks exactly the same to me (and ive seen cars witht he eibach springs fitted and they look visably lower)
I seriously doubt it will ride any better on eibach springs than standard, because you havnt changed the actual dampers.
Out of interest why didn't you go with 19's? seems weird to go an 18" version of wheels that are copies of a wheel only available as OE in 19"? it will be obvious to anyone looking at it that you have bought copies (and I bet they are substantially heavier than the OE 18's you took off). I actually like the design of the wheel, at least from the side you have shown - the other side will look terrible as is the case with all asymmetric wheels - but they don't fill out the arches enough for me. but then its not my car
So just to be clear , you don't see any difference in ride height or arch gap between these ? They've definitely the right springs ...for models with sports suspension, independent rear. And as far as improving handling them you should let all the manufacturers of aftermarket springs designed for stock dampers know that they're wrong as well. As What you think of the wheels themselves, I don't really care as I like them and as you said that's what's important. It's easy to criticize what others are doing without offering anything positive.

Don't get out of your pram, I was looking at the 2 previous images that YOU posted, saying one was stock and the other lowered....

To quote Eibach..
"The Eibach Pro-Kit is the perfect answer for most popular street cars.
It’s our legendary spring system that dramatically improves both a vehicle’s performance and appearance. Pro-Kit lowers your car’s centre of gravity, reducing squat during acceleration, body roll in corners and excessive nosedive under braking."
Did I get that wrong as well ??
