I love my car sitting low, but all the bumps on britains shitty roads get me down and as I do about 50 miles a day, I doubt it is doing my back any good!
I'm currently using a streetline -50mm kit with uprated dampers, never heard of them before either if thats what you're thinking, but the car handles really really well!
Does anyone else think it would ruin the look of the car if I went for a more sensible setup? ie: -30mm with Eibach springs and standard dampers
Also does anyone else think I would get a more comfortable ride with that setup?
I know someone is going to say this should be in the help section, but i dont really need help, I'm just speculating on the idea of going for a more comfortable set up.

will that be comfortable though mate? I will spend a fair amount if it means I get the looks without uncomprimised comfort...your cage looks great by the way!

think i can joint the ultra low club  it is a pain sometimes put it looks good 
davey i had the eibach - 30 spings to start with and imo felt the same as my fk's all the way down, the eibach dint lower the car 30 either it was more like 10 
invest in some good coilovers so you can adjust the height/damping

yeah i love my car looking slammed and everyone comments on how nice it looks..and i love it when Im on a decent road and i outhandle other cars round the bends, but with the amount of miles I do it annoys the hell out of me, and the paint has started to crack on my skirts where they meet the front arches! Also when you take a stunning bird in your car and all she can say about it is "its really uncomfortable this car isnt it?"

if you raise it up you will only regret it. Im sure the ride will be no different at 30mm. stay as you are!
