Another Newbie 3.0Si Coupe

Just picked up my 2007 car, and very pleased. Just need to change the 108s out for MV2's, (personal preference) and maybe a subtle drop. So a few questions for the experts...
Will eibachs drop it 30mm, as that might be a bit aggressive. Would like a 15-20mm drop ideally.
Can I go with M tyre sizes, ie 225/45/18 at front instead of 225/40/18, and 255/40/18 at the rear instead of 255/35/18.
Would like to post some pics, but that seems like a black art.....
Thanks,
Mark.
 
Can't help with the mechanical side, but upload photos to photobucket then click share -> img -> copy link and paste here.

Welcome by the way :)

I can't see issue lowering on Eibachs & fitting M spec tyre profiles if using the OEM offsets of
et 47 front & et 50 rear ON 8J - 8.5J 18s ( you could probably get away with some form of spacer to improve the stance once dropped)
Good move upping the profiles btw , it would be my first mod on any non M Z4 :thumbsup:
 
Have you got a sport or an SE? If you have SE susspension it will be a 30 mm drop. If you're on the sport will be a 15mm drop.
 
The drop with eibachs will depend on whether you have an se or an m sport. circa 30mm with the se and 15mm with an m sport

welcome to the exclusive coupe club

are you really sure you want to fit MV2s? have you ever tried to clean MV2s?

I love the 108s. It would be boring if we all liked the same things though.
