Bilstein suspension
« on: April 26, 2015, 07:01:12 pm »
B12 kit with what springs?!
Or b14 coilovers?

Looking for a nice stance (not slammed to the floor)
Better handling as going r tech stage 2 next month

Also should I look at getting better top mounts? Think I read somewhere about rs3 mounts?

B14 coilovers are highly rated, and because of the narrower springs on coilovers, dialing more stance is easier. I run them and dropped all the way to 50mm they're spot on. As for top mounts, yes, get the kit:

Really don't know wether to go with coilies or not I think will in end anyway it's just the extra initial cost!
Anybody recommend change arbs? Front or rear or both?
Also what alk kit or just tt console bushes?
