Got mine lowered on -35mm Eibach springs all round, Coupled with 17" Rims 40 profile tyres.
Does any one else with a similar set up think the rear alloys look lost in the archs, Doesn't it look like you have lowered the front wheels but not the rear???

To solve this odd looking problem can a set of really low rear springs be made up... to match the comfort of Eibach springs??

Just a thought???..............................

Just had mine lowered on saturday with Spax shocks & Gmax springs & have to say that my rears look really low now & fill the arches well, just have to watch out for road humps now as the exhaust bangs them if i go over too fast!!

My calibra is lowered 35mm, with KYB Gas Shocks, and to me it seems as if my rear sits lower than the front. I looked at my rear springs, and they're completely compressed (Coils touching) Any clue why this is??

No 17's for me, just standard 15" Cav GSI rims housing V6 brakes and a massive drop.

Was told it was a 60mm drop, but sits incredible low, so the speed bump grinding noise tells me.

Think it's prob nearer to 70 or 80mm! definately see the rear camber poking out like nobody's business. But hey, 15" rubber is cheap as chips!
