Hopefully they drop the required amount -40 on mine with Apex springs but it drops alot further. No issues but it will be low.
The offsets where on the box labels but i cannot read them in the pics

I’m pretty certain with the room the car is sitting above the wheel arches at the moment it will be ok. It’s been back on road now for 3 months since I did all the shocks and bushes and it’s not settled any lower than when done but as I say we will see. I’ve not got them boxes now lol. Off set on rear I think was 42 and front 35.

i run a 8.5 38 front and a 9.5 33 rear
here's the car stock.

and 40 below lol is closer to 80 i imagine its rather low but i like it .
Be nice to see how yours sits when its all changed

Nice picture. Heck I hope mine only comes down to 40 lower my only concern now is that wheel off set.

The lower you go the more camber you add so the top of the wheel will tuck in further it should be fine

I'm running Bilstein b8 front and b6 rear with Apex -40mm springs on 17" wheels. Drives ok but car bottoms out on undulating roads and speed humps. I have just bought a set of Eibachs springs to replace them as I'm not happy with it. When I bought the car it also had 20mm spacers so the wheels were rubbing the linings.

Thanks for that that will stop the problem I thought I may have.

Have you thought about adding a bigger spring pad to the rear to get the lift ?
they come in 5/7.5/10/14.5 and 22mm I will go this route after the frame rebuild mine doesn't bottom out though.

That will be the next thing if the springs don't resolve the problem
