    It does but I've read alot about these on NAM and no problems have been found, I have had a couple mechanics take a closer look, and have alot of friends that are Into the dub scene and run low with dodgy coilovers,

    They say the spring doesnt sit right when lowered more than 30 mm but cannot find any evidence of this, I will take heed though and watch for any problems,

    How much do the eibachs drop the mini by I read somewhere that it's about 30mm.......in your experience Josh would that be about right

    yep unbelievable camber just now, might in the future get some rear control arms, i'll keep an eye on the tyre wear,

    as far as the eibachs are concerned, they were about 30 mm when fitted but within about a month settled to below 40mm, pretty low just for springs, I've seen folk with 18s with no arch gap, hope that helps

    Looking good mate, what spacers you running? Or is that the 38mm offset?
