Bilstein streetline kit
« on: 29 November 2003, 23:49 »
I just bought a bilstein streetline kit for my mk2 (eurocarparts ?200).  Are these any good?  It comes with Ventura springs which I havent heard of...  are these any good or are they a bit sh!t?

Cheers

Ventura springs are sold by euro car parts and I would doubt they are any good. Bilstein on the other hand are excellent so I would be inclined to f**k those springs off and get a good set.

A bit too much like having champagne and drinking it from a polystyrene cup for my liking.

watch the sales and you can usually find a set of Eibach springs for 50 quid or a bit more

Thats what I thought.  I'll keep my eyes peeled for some decent springs.

the shocks are good but i dont think the springs are up to much. ive got the kit on my car. was a cheap option to lower it. get new springs and it could be really good.

the general comfort aint that great IMO but the handlin is sooo much better (even better with 15's on the car). you do feel a lot of the bumps but i havent been in another mk2 which has been lowered so not really got anythin to compare it with. i have heard and read that the shocks are meant to be good and the springs duff.
