As above, looks clean. Yeah you definately need to lower it. Mine's the same and looks worse with the 18's on so this is next on my list but I'll be getting coilovers. The rear shocks on the bugs are crap so by just putting lowering springs might put too much pressure on already weak shocks.

coilovers/springs
hey, i know what ur saying about bugeye shocks, i was getting a knocking and a funny whoosh noise as i came down over speed bumps, when i was changing brakes other day noticed the rear shock had popped an the oil had come out of it lol good thing i had already ordered the tein coilovers, £1030 an took about 20mins a corner to fit, now its sitting nice and level instead of pointing the front end in the air lol
As for hard/harsh ride, they feel better than any other lowered car ive had, and feels great in the corners!
what colour are the standard springs? apparently mine was already slightly lower? had red springs in?

Normal are just black. Eibach and a few others are red.
Yeah I'll probably get the BC's when I do mine after the good reports. I did love my Teins on my old GT4 but were too stiff to have a baby in the car.

springs
well i had a spare pair of front shocks and they have black springs, the ones i just took off are red, and look like tighter coils like lowering springs anyone interested in them? my car only done 34k so the front shocks are prob ok, so complete struts with springs if interested, and the rears, but 1 rear is buggered!
Mine feels ok, i got the set with the top mounts too, feels alot more responsive handling, but yeh with a baby on board prob wouldnt be best lol
