I need a little advice regarding my 3.0i 2003! Am I right in saying the 3.0 came with lower ride height than the 2.2 and 2.5? I'm looking to buy some eibach springs and trying to work out the drop! Any advice greatly appreciated!

I believe all the 3.0s were fitted with sports suspension and are therefore 15mm lower than the others, so if you fit eibachs you will lower your Zed by 15mm rather than the 30mm advertised.
If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will let you know :thumbsup:

This is my understanding of it. Lots of members have done this. I think some have concerns regarding a lower ride height and kerbs/speed bumps, where others have had no problems.
 
Hi Jamie
This is my 3.0 on eibach's but on 19's. Goes over speed bumps no problem but at work we have those very small but harsh speed bumps if i go over a little bit quicker the jacking points can catch.
