The Eibach aren't as low as some but the ride is great, better than std!
As i tow my 106 with the velle i cant go too low as it'll screw up the tow bar height... I might wind down the front a bit more though.
These are officially the easiest vehicle in the world to lower at the front... all you need is a 27mm spanner.

No, just take the load off the side your lowering, jacking it up would be enough.
If/when you do lower it its essential you do the damper mount/bumpstop mod.

Adjust a nut either side to lower the front, 10mm = 25mm lowering.

Only 1 nut each side to undo to fit the rear springs, these things really are a piece of pi$$ to lower.

2 nuts at the front in total
I'm sticking with the 60mm, 85 says not to take ANY weight, and I'm not risking it!
