Rich's sits just about exactly where mine does on Coilovers, just right for everyday driving in this country IMO  :smiley:

I think it's dropped too. I'm sure it's got about 10mm lover since fitting the springs.

Need some spacers on te rear as it looks a bit "tucked" on the rear.

Your dampers must by F**ked  :scared:

Mine was a good 10mm higher on H&Rs

They do need spacers when lowered. 15mm rears would look well

Pretty sure you can't. Maybe B12 kit or coilovers then  :smiley:

Lovely car :happy2:

Koni do shock absorbers which have adjustable rebound, front and rear and are pretty much the same price as Bilstein b8 shocks but I couldn't tell you how well they perform  :sad1:
I'm hoping someone has tried them as I wanted to get a set.

You can get damper adjustable suspension kits I believe as that's what I toyed with. Fixed height and just tweek the rebound for different conditions. How come you don't want to fit coilovers?

I was saying the same thing to Alex earlier about mine. Ride height is spot on but I have lots of tuck so had considered spacers.

Dont see the point as Id fix the height and leave them... its not the height I want to adjust/have control over.

The bilstein B8 ares supposed to be hard, the mk6 version less so... but still hard... and theres no one i know with that setup to "try before i buy"
