Hi all...

Have done some searching but to no avail...

Anyone know of a good place to purchase these at a reasonable price? Found Graham Goode do the springs for £102inc vat which seemed pretty reasonable? Not sure where to get the B8's from?

Also do i really need the Bilstien's? My car is Fast Road/Track based and will eventually (fingers crossed) be going High Boost. Im looking to lower it by 30/35mm. Will the Bilstiens help that much? (If it helps im on 17's due to my 406 Calipers )

Im lowered on just the eibachs, the B8's will just improve handling a touch

Best place is from Miles on here

In what way? Improved damping.

The consensus round these parts for years now has been that the Eibach springs, Bilstein B6/B8s with rear lowered slightly to suit makes for a good "out of the box" fast road/track setup. Beyond that, a hybrid ARB. Beyond that, coilovers and you get to start adjusting & playing with settings - if you have the time & ability to tweak these to perfection. And even then, there are a lot of bad coilover kits that are worse than the Bilstein + Eibach setup.

In my experience, versus the standard shocks, the Bilstein + Eibach combo is slightly firmer so slightly less comfortable over the bumps and potholes of BasraLondon (but not unacceptably so). The plus side is it's better controlled and a lot less roll on the track.

Back to back from a ring trip comparing good condition standard suspension to this setup, the car just felt better tied down - and I found I was having to manage the back end a lot less (while still being nicely adjustable).

So the general concensus (sp) is that its probably better to have both?
