Looks really good!I have lowered mine about 30mm in front, and 25mm in the back. I have air suspension, so I have changed the lowering-sensor links with adjustable ones.

Default Forbes magazine recently rated Norway as the happiest country in the world...

Are you having to change your driving style around the city? I know you mentioned you have no problems with speedbumps but have you had to compromise the ease of driving and comfort?

Also, after the drop, do you get that "bouncy" feel or it feels pretty much stock but with the added benefits as you mentioned.

The H&R looks awesome as well, but would need bigger wheels to make it looked less slammed.
I have spacers on my wheels, but that has nothing to do with the Eibach set up. I haven't changed my driving style much, hardly at all, if any. The car rides a little more firm, not harsh, not as bouncy as it used to. I was skeptical going into this, worried about having too stiff of a ride, but after the install all worries went away... I gunned it down some windy back roads. Handles so much better. Do it!

I have 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm spacers on the back. How big spacers do you have?

Steelblue - Yup, I saw your wheels weren't as tucked in and so I thought I ask since I was looking at getting spacers as well to make the stance a little nicer. You definetly have convinced me with the Eibach springs. Thanks for the info!

A7.Norway - Your stance looks great, wished the air suspemsion was offered in Canada. By the way, nice driveway

That's pretty much 3 times as much as the US A7's.... Unbelievable! How much would an R8 4.2 cost over there?

I visited Norway 5 years ago. In Bergen a coffee was $12.00

The earnings must be appropriate to support those prices.
