before and after pictures of JCW suspension

anyone got before and after pictures of JCW suspension?

I want to see the drop. also, how about 17 compared to 18" rims on JCW?

just trying to figure what's the best match for the suspension.
Thanks.

You not going to see much of a drop, its .4 inches. It probably goes best with the 18" JCW wheels.

Here's a superimposed before / after of my JCW suspension install. It's not a perfect comparison, but darned close.

Yeah, the picture may make it look like more of a drop than it really is.

If you park a JCW suspension car next to a stock suspension car, you probably wouldn't notice the difference.

The drop is (I think) around 10mm.

When your tires wear down from 8/32 tread depth to 2/32 tread depth you lose 4.5mm of ride height.
