Default Bilstein suspension

As header Bilstein struts/shocks and springs complete with bump stops and top mounts.This kit will lower your car by @ 40mm and firm it up a fair bit.The kit is about 2 years old and in good order (rear springs could do with a repaint really).£275 collected.Check the part numbers :- F4-V36-4015-HO / F4-B36-1640-HO http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/p...cnumber=105695

How did you find the ride handling on this.......are they much firmer or generally just a little bit more so?

The handling was much better,obviously the ride was a bit harsher at low speed but as the pace picks up everything comes sweet.The reason for the change was that my car is mainly used for towing my off road bike trailer so the extra ground clearance counts.Cheers.
