I assume you mean 205/50-15s? I had that size on my car for a while with the JCW springs, but I don't think I have any pics of that set-up. The car looked good, but it didn't look very low. Still pretty stock looking. If you have an '05 or '06, the JCW springs may do a little better at making your car noticeably lower. The drop is still only about a half inch, but some of the newer cars sit lower to begin with. I've seen some '05/'06s with JCW suspension that look as low as my car with aftermarket springs.

thanks, i fixed the title, you were right.

Yeah, i have noticed that some JCW spring cars looked slammed right on the ground, but that might be because everyone i can remember seeing has had the aero kit (i have the front bumper, but not the rest of the kit, at least not yet...). And some of the pics on here, the JCW cars dont seem so low on those springs. With such short tires, i dont want to slam the car on springs, and i like JCW anyway. Too bad i didnt notice K-huevo was selling his springs a few hours earlier or i would have bought them in a heartbeat...

thanks

well, i guess i didnt fix the title, it changed in on the thread itself, but not on the main page.

To eliminate any confusion, yes, i do mean 205/50-15

thanks

Anyone know the spring rates for the JCW suspension for 2007 R56? They say that they go by the car VIN# when you order them, but is there some sort of range? Also, are these progressive rate springs or are they linear??

Thanks

Depending on wheel/tire size, JCW suspension gives up to 19mm drop (.748 inch). Look at my gallery to see it with 17" S-lites.
