Suspension refresh

<< < (12/12)

probedb:
The Eibachs with B4s make the rear lower than yours, front is the same. Definitely too low for me so when I can I'd like to swap them out for springs that are near stock.

Just been out for 30 mins this morning after fitting yesturday and I’m very glad I went for the b12! Out of interest pudding, how long ago did you use the b12 sportline kit? Maybe they’ve made some changes as again, it sits very well and doesn’t feel anything like you described?

Yeah that looks spot on  :happy2:

It was years ago I tried the B12 Sportline.  Maybe they have made some changes then because it used to be so bad, people were using MK6 dampers instead as they were known to be softer valved.  Glad you're happy with it.  I do really like how monotubes drive compared to twin tubes, you'll have a lot of fun with that  :happy2:

PorkPieBandit:
I've had two springs flagged in my last MOT so considering a full refresh whilst I'm at it. I think I've found why the B12 sportline has some mixed reviews. Seems there's two part numbers, one with 20-25mm front drop and 30-35mm rear drop. The other has 20-25mm front drop and 20mm rear drop.

Perhaps someone with some more knowledge will correct me? But if not I'm hoping this will help someone out!

B14s are cheaper   Try Demon Tweeks
