Anyone got any comparisons between bilsteins B12 and B14 kit?  Apart from one being a coilover and the other being shock spring!!

I am absolutely 100% sure I will be reporting back they are awesome.

I get a lot of feedback from customers hence me choosing to use these on our own demo. I have also been in a Mk5 with them fitted and they seemed great then.

Not sure when I will get around to fitting mine though, got loads on at the minute and our unit is still not ready :(

I've had b12 on for about 2 week now and they've settled in the drop looks enough my back tyre has scrubbed a couple of times on fast bumpy corners but nothing too be concerned about this could be down to the 9.5" wide rears though :) the ride is good and I think turn in is sharper I had alignment done when fitted and my toe angle was altered a little bit but all in all I'm happy with the result
