Rich's sits just about exactly where mine does on Coilovers, just right for everyday driving in this country IMO  :smiley:

I think it's dropped too. I'm sure it's got about 10mm lover since fitting the springs.

Need some spacers on te rear as it looks a bit "tucked" on the rear.

Your dampers must by F**ked  :scared:

Mine was a good 10mm higher on H&Rs

They do need spacers when lowered. 15mm rears would look well

Yeah it needs new dampers just dont know what to get. Id like some adjusatble dampers... but not sure you can get them without going down the coilover route

Pretty sure you can't. Maybe B12 kit or coilovers then  :smiley:

Lovely car :happy2:

Koni do shock absorbers which have adjustable rebound, front and rear and are pretty much the same price as Bilstein b8 shocks but I couldn't tell you how well they perform  :sad1:
I'm hoping someone has tried them as I wanted to get a set.

You can get damper adjustable suspension kits I believe as that's what I toyed with. Fixed height and just tweek the rebound for different conditions. How come you don't want to fit coilovers?

I was saying the same thing to Alex earlier about mine. Ride height is spot on but I have lots of tuck so had considered spacers.

Dont see the point as Id fix the height and leave them... its not the height I want to adjust/have control over.

The bilstein B8 ares supposed to be hard, the mk6 version less so... but still hard... and theres no one i know with that setup to "try before i buy"
