I think the blue one is on 18's, and the silver one on 17's?
I think about 20mm lower than stock will do the 17 stance, ie a simple spring change.

you could alternatively fit some fully adjustable coilovers (ride hieght adjustable and damper rebound). I heard there are some going cheap

Have recently fitted Eibach springs to the car which has 17 inch rims. The gaps between the wheel and arch are as follows front 55mm and back 33mm.

Try H&R springs. They lower about 35mm taking out most of the gap. I was running these on a MY96uk not to harsh.
Or whiteline do some springs not got experience of these but if they are as good as the rest of there products!
Think they do two sets. Good web site
