Hi Stuart,

Ive Bilstien B4's with Eibach springs on my R , I find them a good compromise there not to stiff for everyday driving but stiff enough when you throw it into the twisty bits .

They are real cheap on Europarts too I think about £45 - 50 each :-)

Hi, Rich,

I though of Bilstiens and didn't know what they were like but now you've made my mind up at that price. I just didn't want to lose the ride on the car. where did you get your eibach springs from?

cheers,
Stuart

Hi Stuart

I got mine from a guy on here cant remember his name ...Ill look his number up and PM you . He's in Northern Ireland I think they were like £190 delivered .

One more thing when uv a spare £185 get an IPD rear anti roll bar from Don @ Kalmar Union that made such a difference to the handling , it really transformed the car.

Lastly when all that is done get a 4 wheel lazer alignment set up done ( Look for someone that has the Hunter System ). I was suprised to find that every wheel on my car was out some for other camber and toe in :-(

Good luck with it .... Where are btw if your local to Kent your more than welcome to come for a spin in my car ?

the pot holes are insane around here in Glasgow - proper 6cm+ deep

I don't like driving in the dark in case I miss one coming.

they are unavoidable up here when a lorry is coming the other way,most of the time you can go round them,makes me wonder why i pay tax just to ruin my car..........
