bit the bullet today and bought the bilstein B12 sport line kit. hopefully get it in a week or so.

decided the ride is very crashy and the handling not particularly inspiring so decided i might as well have firm ride and add some good handling!

WALK, bump steer kit and B12 kit - this thing should really handle well now.

I think I am going to bite the bullet and go for the Bilstein B12 Sportline kit same as you have, any regrets?

no the car handles a bit better but the ride and body control is MUCH better. really impressive damping and comfort.

if anything it feels slightly softer than standard but i think its just the more plush ride.

i would recommend this kit without doubt

Great thanks for feedback, have they lowered the car much as I am hoping to reduce the majority of the arch gap?

its lower by about 15mm or 20mm front and back. quite subtle but looks better

these aren't the best photos but they give you an idea

Right ok, well I have decided and car is having a set of Eibach Sportlines fitted on the oem shocks on 18th Aug, can't afford the full stretch to the Bilstein B12 kit at the moment as we want another holiday too in Sep.

I know this isn't the optimum set up, but it should look a lot better as it sits far too high at the moment for my liking, will review once fitted.
