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.

So what's the price diff between the two kits?

I am fitting just springs with oem shocks where as the bilstein B12 kit is the same springs but with matched Bilstein shortened shocks.

Dynamically it would be a much better package but with £500 difference this will be fine for now :cool:

looking good. fit the B8 dampers in the future if you can - you wont believe the difference they make to the ride and body control.
