30mm springs

[stigeye]

Even on 17s?

It doesn't matter what the wheel size is, the diameter should be the same, obviously though the larger the the tyre the wider it is generally. Personally I don't think the 30mm or 40mm is too much, you would have to take into account speed bumps, pot holes etc when driving.

I would stick to Eibachs for lowering on the J though because it's quite a hefty hatchback, that and it is tried and tested, but I don't think they do a 30mm drop for the 5dr. Saying that though, I have read on nemerous forums where different make springs have been used and can't remember reading any complaints or horror stories, and people aren't usually backwards when it comes to slating product ont tinterweb.
