Bilstein B12 and Eibach Pro Street kit for the Mk5

[GNJ_Motorsport]

finally got this fitted and is an awesome bit of kit, handling is miles better over stock and the stance is perfect.

You have had them for a while mate :)

Glad you are happy with them.

From a fitting cost point of view you are better doing it all at once

[greygti]

Fitted my B12 sportline kit yesterday and it has transformed the way my gti handels ! really happy with the car now ,its a really good quality kit,time to get out and just drive it before the weather turns bad lol

Just considering b12 at the moment.
Do both b12 kits - sportline and pro kit have adjustable drop?? Sportline by up to 50mm and pro kit by up to 40mm?? Can anybody confirm it? The info on billstein is a bit confusing

Cheers

The B12 kit is a fixed height, fixed rate kit. Lowers approx 30-35mm all round.

Do you have any details on spring & damping rates over stock 135i M-Sport suspension?

[PDT]

Not to hand, but can probably find any info you need....

[tony_danza]

Yeah, if you don't mind please. I'd probably want the H&R springs though, as Eibachs are generally a bit softer.

[the bruce]

Eibachs for the Mk.V platform are linear and so can easily measured
(when not fitted).
Most H&R for the Mk.V are progressive and so have a complex behaviour.
Spring rate depends on wheel travel. Furthermore this makes the
dampers to have a hard job.

On track linear spring are the way to go for.
