Got some 35 mm lowering springs onto the Loeb, not a dramatic drop but it does make the car sit better and still give plenty of clearance for the bad roads.....although I do hit the splitter going it work carpark when going to fast LOL... what do you think?

 Much lower and you wouldn't get into the car park and it looks fine

 More than that in the UK and speed bumps can be problematic. 35mm is a good compromise if you use a decent set of springs like Eibach Pro, just avoid the cheap ones or the ride will be harsher.

 You not have any issues with the flaps?

Mine grated over most speed bumps as they only sat about 2 inches off the road at the front, so I took them off.

 They look like 17's to me, the large lip on them makes them look much smaller.
