Bought off Rallye1999's track car. I think they've only down a few thousand miles.

Now definitely for sale. Front and rear. Paid £300 fitted and moved about 100yds. I want back what I paid.

6waysforward has shown an interest however cash talks.

Thanks

Darren

I'll have to check on the price of new B6s. Won't have access to the car for a couple of weeks though.

From what I've read B4's are similar to standard, B6 are uprated and B8 are similarly uprated but designed for lowered cars. Ideally I want uprated standard ride height. I've got a standard setup up, and also some nearly new standard springs so just need the dampers.

Right then you pair. I'm happy to sell to Ben for £200 posted so long as I'm not going to be raped on the B6's. Will email Miles now and let you know whether this is a go or not.

Yup sounds good I will just need to get them off the car so I guess I would need the h&r first so I can keep the car on the road ? Is that ok with you Ben ?

Well the B6's are about 40% more expensive than I'd be selling this lot for so will require a bit more thought. I may lower the beam to match next weekend and see if I get on with the lowered look. Sale is still a possibility though.
