Evening all

So Ive decided to keep the car as was planning on selling to help with house move but Ill just do more overtime lol.
Ive been on and off on the idea of lowering the car just a little but dont really want to go coilover route so was thinking of upgrading the shocks and springs, want a fit and forget option and Im keen on the Bilstein B6 Shocks, do you reckon eibachs would work well with these? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going the same route mate, currently on Eibach's with standard shocks but over winter i'll be buying the front Bilsteins (already have rears) and putting them on in the new year.
Hi lee

So I managed to get some B6s direct from Bilstein UK, managed to get some money knocked off and will be fitting H&Rs with them.

How did you get on with them
Hi Lee

The shocks are 25% stiffer than the standard dampers. The H&R s I've got to go with are a bit hard on some bad roads round my area, Eibachs are probably more compliant but once your out on some nice twistys they are great. I would like it to be a little softer on the bad roads but Id need coilovers for that and for the amount I drive the car dont know if its worth it but I would love a set of b16s as you can get the best of both worlds but as a fit and forget option Im happy. This is how it sits with the H&Rs B6 Bilstein combo.
