Lowering options 335? with CM wheels M359 19s - now with pics

I recently bought CM Wheels M359s in 19". Wheels now fitted and look amazing! Thanks Chris, great service and very helpful. I do now see what people mean about needing the front lowered a little.

Not planning on doing anything just yet but im wondering if people can give me an idea of what would be the best route and costs / work involved to get the front a bit lower?

Some pics....

Eibachs pro kit or h&r springs will do the job.

Spring perches the best option for a subtle drop on the front....

I'm in the same boat @335tim

Planning a trip soon to Performance3000 in Yeovil, Somerset and will get H&R springs fitted to get rid of that space

If all you want is the front to sit a little lower then all you need to do is fit lowering front spring perches

Retain standard springs but it will drop the front nicely

Thanks for this. I think they are out of stock though.

Does anyone have a garage that they trust to fit these in the London / Surrey area?

Yeah realised that after posting

My German isn't great (its non existent actually), but it looks like its in stock here: http://www.supersport-shop.com/tiefe...-/suft015.html

However the shipping options only include Germany and Austria. I have emailed them to enquire about shipping to the UK. I am very interested in getting these.

Got a reply, he says "no deal in United Kingdom"

I asked him why not, but i'd say this is a dead lead
