lots do this and plenty of topics here to search. From what I have read, slightly harsher than standard but hard to notice the difference, it won't actually lower it by as much as 35mm though. The only issue is the spring is not designed to work with the standard damper so in some circumstances can bottom out on the damper with a bang. Generally most are happy with these otherwise the expensive route is coilovers

Love mine lowered looks a lot better, handling is improved, never had any problems with catching or rubbing, I do slow down for speed bumps and you do feel it more over rougher roads, but had to be done. I think the Ford approved kit lowers the ST about 20mm but there is a kit on rude racings website made by eibach that lower by 40mm.

I don't know and depends on the defintion of the drop by Eibach or other - but one thing for sure is it will be lower than now. Don't know what Ford mean, I guess they mean the ST is lower than the standard car but does not look it because it sits on huge 17's ? !

What do You think guys? Is this suspension worth to buy? Seller is describing that it´s like new... Please look on this link and photos: Thx https://auto.bazos.sk/inzerat/76701882/Ford-fiesta.phpBrand new cost 500€. But who knows how old this one should be? ... And what is the reason for selling it... EDIT: I´ve just found out that this should be a China so ... I´m not going into this
