I know this has probably been covered in the pas,t but if possible id like to know:Is the b12 kit still the best for fast road and track? Is there a recommended supplier on here for members? Are the b8 rear shockers(the ones that come with the kit) still the best ones or should I mix and match with b4s? I don't mind paying a bit more if someone recommends something a lot better than the above? Thanks in advance Jon |

there's not much else out there for the price, b12 kit is basically b8's and a set of eibach springs.b4 front with xsara b4 rears is fine for the road. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I run B8's with Eibachs on my track car - they are great as a road & track setup, maybe a little soft and high for an out and out track car |

Miles is a bilstein dealer, as is Kam racing and both often can do deals for forum members.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I haven't run on the bilstein kit but Koni Yellows with the same Eibach springs are good as well and are in a similar price bracket.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

If you are looking around, I'm very pleased with my SPAX PSX adjustable dampers at a very similar price.________________________________________ DIABLO GTI-6 - Legend - NILE GTI-6 - SoldCHERRY GTI-6 P1 SUPERCHARGED - Broken up BLACK RALLYE - Sold 205 Dturbo xud9 work horse - Dead CHERRY RALLYE - new toy |

I run the B12 kit. It's B8 fronts with Eibach springs and B6 rears as they don't do a B8 for the rear. I'm also running 21mm VTS bars in the rear but that's only a slight difference. I think it's fantastic, perfect compromise for the road. I use it daily, doing ~ 250 miles a week. Speak to miles on here, although I think you might have to contact him via his website - http://www.pugracing.com/ He'll be able to sort you out at a great price. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ |

I found it great for the road. But found it too soft for track use. ________________________________________ 1998 Supercharged White Rallye1992 205 GTi6 205 Turbo 340bhp |

Inbetween really as it had buckets with no rear seats but still has carpet and door trims. ________________________________________ 1998 Supercharged White Rallye1992 205 GTi6 205 Turbo 340bhp |
