This reminds me of my car when i installed my bilstein B12 kit LOL
They are a great improvement compared to standart/worn out shocks, however i now need to sort out the back as i still find mine a bit "shaggy" a couple of 21mm tb's and hybrids should sort it out.

Enjoy the car mate

I have just finished changing my suspension and has transformed the car. It's had OEM front and rear dampers, OEM springs, Bembo discs all round, ds2500 pads all round, lemforder drop links, lemforder ball joints, refurb rear calipers, Michelin PE2's and a new sports cat plus it's had 4 wheel alignment.

It is balanced, has great brakes again and drives very smoothly, plus the cat has helped with power (the old one was blowing). Happy is not the word!

Bet that was a healthy sum but defo worth it, very tempted to upgrade/renew most of my suspension items when I've got some money.

Yes it did, but it drives so well now. Shocks were £280, brakes £280, tyres £130, CAT £240, drop links and ball joints £110, rear calipers £120, s**t it looks like a lot when it's written down! It all needed to be done, but should give the car a few more years of good handling anyway!
