Marc, have a look at my garage. My car is an SRi on standard shocks with -30mm Eibachs. There are some pics with it sat on 17" SRi rims.

Those ones with the Sri wheels that it lowered look same as my Sri at the mo what's the ride like on 30mm

Yep, the lowering is very subtle but when parked up next to a normal SRi the difference is visible and the ride and handling is transformed.

If you want it lower then you can go to -40 or -45mm springs or coil overs but I like the subtle change.

Yer don't want it too low so looks daft and can't drive without ripping off the exhaust lol might try -35mm

Anyone know what apex springs are like -35mm thinking about these or lo -30mm

I have a Sri with standard Sri shocks with -35 apex springs. The ride is fine to me, 100% more comfortable than when I had coilovers on.

I'll take a few pics of the wheels when I get to work for ya

Ive got 30mm Eibach springs on b4 shocks. The ride is nice and not hard, but some people say that B4 shocks are not a direct replacement for an SRI. I think they are fine and have no issues with them.

The only down side is of dropping 15mm on a SRI is that the front skirt and engine undertray scrapes on the speed humps, soooooo anoying.

And if you park nose forward into a parking spot, and you allow your car to overhang the path, when you come to reverse out, you will pull your rubber skirting away from the vallence.
