I now have the larger wheel size and trims for my coupe. I am keen to lower it a bit as it will improve both the appearance and the handling. H&R make lowering springs that produce a 5.5cm drop - which is possibly a bit much. However, the Bilstein B4 shocks available (and OEM) will only cope with a 4 cm drop.
There are different rubber spring caps sizes available 8mm, 13 mm (which is on the car) 18mm to 23mm at the front and 9.5m 14mm and 19mm at the rear.
The maximum height boost available from spring caps looks to be not enough at the front or rear
Any suggestions for options to enable me to lower by say 3cm - 4?
