Thumbs up Classic scooby with EIBACH 35mm drop

Hi, I'm deciding to get a set of kyb shocks and Eibach lowering springs which come in a 35 mm drop anyone got any pics with this set up or give me an idea of what it will look like. As H&R do a 50mm drop, and this is also an option but not sure if this might be too low for a classic on 17'' wheels

Cheers

Not at all crashy. You can feel the bumps though. I don't have a comparison as they came on the car so don't know how much it's dropped! I think it's std shocks.

I love the way it drives, now even more so with a cdf rear arb.

My old V5 STi with KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks, OE P1 Eibach springs and 17" STi alloys. It's was brilliant.
