Bought these the other week 2nd hand ,Bilstein B6 shocks and Eibach springs,I fitted them two weeks ago, over that time I've been conduting various testing on various roads, I have to say i'm rather impressed, I now have more suspension travel with a lovely compliant ride ,this is due to the shocks, now the car just glides over bumps etc without wanting to spit you off the road! turn in is nice and sharp now but a bit more understeer than I'd like on a testing roundabout that I use as a benchmark.
Took it up the Beacons last week and it was truly amazing including the B4358 to Beulah ,now this is a testing road its like a rollercoaster and will challenge any car, I have to say it coped admirably. I'm loving these shocks on this car, should of left the factory with them!
I removed the inserts out of the front shocks to trim the bumpstops by around 15mm to give back some suspension travel due to the lowering springs
