Title: Looking for advice on Bilstein B8 shocks for ed30
Post by: kiddfrost on January 11, 2013, 01:57:10 pm

I'm currently running Eibach Sportline springs on my oem shocks and am happy with the comfort.

I'm thinking of getting some B8 shocks to go with my Eibach Sportlines but am worried it’s just going to be too firm for a daily driver and I’ll end up taking them back off.

Has anyone had experience of driving both the above setups that can advise me on their differences in ride quality/comfort/handling?

Thanks

I had OEM dampers and VWR springs on my eddy. Ride was ok. Firmer than stock tho. Then I upgraded to Bilstein B12 suspension with sportline springs and tbh made very little difference in ride comfort. Less roll and less nose dive under breaking
