shepherdfte 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Just went through a similar experience - see my recent topic. tbh, for the road, it will partly depend on if you want it lowering as well, in which case all research pointed to bilstein streetline kits, or if not I like my sport (not sportline) shocks. Or you can just get standard OE bilsteins for very little money. Motor Sport World have a good online shop that lets you look at all the options. Bear in mind on a road car you want something that will last, so I'd be slightly wary of cheap adjustables - that's one of the reasons I bought my Bilsteins.

robgti 0 Posted June 1, 2006 cheers mate. i managed to pick up a full set of gaz dampers so its ok. just wondering what springs will match them? the rear is lowered around 35mm. i love the low look but after handling now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shepherdfte 0 Posted June 2, 2006 MSW list springs online, with various loweing heights. As for rate, it depends how stiff the new dampers are. Pleanty of posts on what rates suit what type of work (track, road etc), but it does depend on the dampers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
