Nice work mate! How's the ride on these? I was just looking at those shocks on eBay now! Recommended?

Yes mate, i couldn't be happier with mine! Can't stop smiling as i throw her into corners, however, i don't up swerving to avoid potholes and going 5mph over speed bumps.

Massively recommended  :happy2:

May I ask how much you spent on the kit? Definitely something worth considering soon on mine  :smiley:

I have a family member that works at Febi UK so i went through them to get the kit...£475 delivered

I wanted to try get involved in group buy on here but after asking him where he thought i should get them i found out the company is actually called Febi BILSTEIN haha...just one of them lucky things  :grin:

I think some of the cheapest i've seen are on balancemotorsport, around £620 if i remember rightly...in my eyes still very much worth. Although, at that price you could start to consider a decent set of coilovers, all depends what you want from your kit i suppose dude.

You seem to be doing everything I want to do!  :happy2: Looks good mate! I've been contemplating a set of Cherry rears for a while now!

Ye, its the little things that keep the modding addiction at bay for a while   

I think thats it for the aesthetic mods at the moment though, i want to go strictly mechanical for a while now. Either brakes or transmission, i hope  :wink:
