Post by: boneybradley on 04 February 2013, 09:15: the best I have felt was my old old boge/sachs shocks and eibach spring set up, no real loss in ride comfort and much improved handling

they are a bit more expensive though and only lower about 25-30mm but you can't have good comfort if you go lower (even the top weitec etc kits lose ride quality at over 40mm)
