Hi All,

The fornt suspention is completely shagged, so thought i'd give it all a complete going over. So i was thinking new struts, springs, top mounts + bearings, ball joints, track rod ends, wishbone bushes + possibly new wish bones depending on condition.

So i wondered if you could give me sum advice about what struts and springs to use and which make a good combernation?? I'm hoping to keep the comfort but also tighten the ride up a little and improve the handling so I was thinking about using Bilstein B6's with -30 eibach springs?? But didn't know if this would be to hard? So started looking through the threads and saw people were using B4's with eibach's or standard springs but couldn't really see much about the B6's with eibach setup so was hoping for some words of wisdom about the things i've been looking at or any other setup's that work well together.

Also thinking about doing the rears aswell as i put sum standard Bilsteins and they seem preety poo.

All advice and opions will be greatly appreciated, Cheers. Cheers

Eibach springs with bilstein b4's with standard new pug rear dampers is a good setup, the yellow bilsteins -b8's i think are better but are harder and a lot more expensive,

The rear bilstein b4's (as you have i think) are generally regarded on here as being poo (as you said )
