Do you know if they sell the H&R springs and Bilstein shocks separately please? I want to do WALK and springs first, then ARB and shocks later as I want Xenons and RNS510 too

Lol tell me about it... I have an RNS510 in my room and MFSW that doesn't work yet... Highline dash and Bluetooth to be fitted next after suspension lol.
They don't have HR springs in at the mo. The story goes Bilstein have stopped the B12 kit for now because they've dropped HR springs. The new ones will (apparently) be Eibach.
So the long story short is that Bilstein dampers with Eibach springs IS the NEW B12 kit.

RussZS:
Eibach Sportlines?
Bernhard30:
Cheers for the info chaps.
I think I will just fit the B12 and the WALK at this time and see if I need some more to it.
Tempted by the gearbox mount sometime perhaps..
From my original post, anyone have any recommends for re-alignment in the North East post fitting?
Not after some extreme track set up, just want the car to not chew tyres or crab along.
RagingKileak:
Russ, yeah Sportlines mate.
Speaking of Balance Motorsports service so far... The ARB and Springs arrived today.... Couldn't be happier - less than 24h from order!!
Bernhard, most people will back me in saying that you should consider a rear ARB too. That will give the biggest bang per buck of any suspension mod. The Whiteline kit I bought is adjustable and cost 170 to my door.

the bruce:
If you plan to match the Eibach Pro with Bilstein HD (B6) or Bilstein Sport (B8) keep
in mind you have the choice between both Mk.V and Mk.VI versions of these.
- Mk.V B6/B8: stiffer
- Mk.VI B6/B8: ~ 20 % softer than Mk.V equivalents
B8 are just shortened B6 but have same valving.
I wonder why Bilstein changed the valving for the Mk.VI as weight and suspension
are the same as on the Mk.V, but fact is they did.
For lowering springs that are designed to work with stock length dampers you
don't need the shorter B8 dampers. Go with the stock length B6 as they provide
better traction on rough roads.
