Title: Shock and springs prices
Post by: JackG on September 12, 2011, 03:23:28 pm

Guys and gals,
Adding to my list of mods is shocks and springs (not to botherd about being low)
I heard good things about bilstein B12 but they are right at the top of my budget!
Has anyone got any recommendations of kits slightly cheaper? Maybe mono FSD? They seem a good price? Ride comfort is important but handling improvement is my "MUST" part about the upgrade  :evilgrin:
If anyone has any input I'd be greatfull  :smiley:

B12 kit as it now comes with the H&R springs or B8 dampers with the springs of your choosing would be worth every extra penny if it's handling you are after  :wink:

B12 is your best bet, quality is brilliant and they do the job perfectly. Ive fitted them on everything from a £1k track car to a £50k super saloon and never had a single complaint about them.

I thought so, the B12 reviews are amazing, there right at the top of my budget tho....and I mean right at the top  :sad1:
I was planning £550 but £700 is fair old jump!
