The beam would be faster, but I keep spending the R&D fund on beer, sorry.

I'm finding a lot of the improvements I want to do these days involve a hammer and a welder, not really something you can do a group buy on and post out LOL

Will have an adjustable front arb as soon as the spring steel arrives in a couple of weeks though. Ninja

However they are frankly so good I dont give a ****

Also, You can easily drown it out with the radio

True, And I dont doubt they are fantastic. (probably just as good)
But the thing is, they just slowly get worse and worse after the point you fit them (Rubber eh?)
Isnt that depressing....
Ultimately they are just as expensive if not more so, And i like the "Fit and forget" nature of the solid mounts.

The rear bilsteins are something else.
Its so stiff but complaint over speed bumps etc i cant even explain it properly....

They make next to no noise difference. But, if you are happy with how your 6 handles, don't change them. I gone back to rubber mounts, I prefer them. Many do prefer solid mounts though. Smile
