thanks //MT, I wasnt bemoaning the quality of the Eibachs, just the ride height. TBH the car ride great, but I do have the niggling feeling of it is just too high still, but only by 10 - 15mm or so. Cutting a whole coil off the fronts would surely drop it over 40mm again, which I think would cause me all sorts of other issues with the tyre sizes I'm running up front (245/35/19).
I still suspect the uncorrect fitting of the upper control/thrust arms are keeping the car higher, and I have a new set of Meyles to go in (on the shelf at present). I did loosen them off since they were fitted, as I later found out the mechanic didnt know the preload technique, and that helped (before tightening again!) but they are worn out again now so I'm gonna refit these ones myself.
They are afaik, but I hope you'll get an answer of the lost
