Default 87' 240 GLT Estate Suspension Upgrades

Hi All,

With my engine swap (B6254 in B230E out) mechanically done (still electrics to sort out) my thoughts have turned to the suspension.

Having spoken already to a number of people, both on here and not, I think I've settled on Bilstein B4's all round with 40mm lowering springs and full polybushes. From what I understand this will give a good compromise between stiffening everything up and going for a more sport orientated set-up.

Can anyone who has run aftermarket suspension chip in and give some advice maybe. Say the practical differences between B4s B6s and adjustable dampers in terms of performance an ride quality??

Any advice would be gratefully taken on board.
