Title: Do I keep saving?
Post by: JackG on August 30, 2011, 09:04:03 pm

Hi guys, Ive been planning on putting the car on bilstein B12 suspension set up (2008 ed30)
But I'm being a little kid and want it done now rather than later  :signLOL:
I was thinking about H&R springs as a temp? £190 from awesome for 30mm, would I be better keeping the £190 and putting towards my B12 kit or will the H&R springs be more than suitable? I'm after 30mm lower but mainly after great handling ? Hope that makes sense

The B12 kit comprises B8 dampers in conjunction with H&R springs anyway so you'd be halfway to your preferred set-up, in fact i should say it did come with the H&R as Bilstein have recently swapped to Eibach springs in the B12 kit...

Personally i'd wait as the labour cost to fit the springs only and alignment after will probably be 90% of the cost of fitting the whole kit so you'll effectively double your fitment costs
