As some of you might remember, i'm converting my XSi into a '6.
My goal is a daily use fast road car, which will take part in some track days here and then, and 'fast' driving trips.


The Bilstein B8's + Eibach pro kit 30mm are for 589 quid (Pug Racing).
The GAZ coilovers - not the hispec ones, go for 480 quid.

The driving conditions back home are not the best, city roads full of pot holes and all that shit.

So what should I choose? are the prices about right?
THX for u'r help.

Coilovers not suitable for everyday stuff..No

And i'd stay well clear of GAZ..

Or AST...

The Bilstein B8 + eibach springs is a great road setup though, little bit soft but suit the standard rear springs well. CUJ's car is very good indeed.

Well then it looks like i'm going for the bills+eibach.
Adam what do u mean they suit the std rear springs?
I'm talking about a full set of shocks+springs, and I suppose u know there are tb's on the rear not springs.

And on that matter - will the '6 torsion bars do the job or am I better off with 21mm xsara ones?
ARB will be the standard '6 one.

a torsion bar is a spring, just not a "coil" spring.
