I know this has probably been covered in the pas,t but if possible id like to know:

Is the b12 kit still the best for fast road and track?
Is there a recommended supplier on here for members?
Are the b8 rear shockers(the ones that come with the kit) still the best ones or should I mix and match with b4s?

I don't mind paying a bit more if someone recommends something a lot better than the above?

Thanks in advance

Jon

there's not much else out there for the price, b12 kit is basically b8's and a set of eibach springs.

b4 front with xsara b4 rears is fine for the road.

I run B8's with Eibachs on my track car - they are great as a road & track setup, maybe a little soft and high for an out and out track car

ok thanks guys-Is there anyone on here that does a good price for the B12 kit?

I have a good friend at Revolution Motorstore in Newcastle that might help!
Completely forgot, he might be able to help us all out with group buys of certain stuff!

Miles is a bilstein dealer, as is Kam racing and both often can do deals for forum members.

I haven't run on the bilstein kit but Koni Yellows with the same Eibach springs are good as well and are in a similar price bracket.

If you are looking around, I'm very pleased with my SPAX PSX adjustable dampers at a very similar price.

I run the B12 kit. It's B8 fronts with Eibach springs and B6 rears as they don't do a B8 for the rear. I'm also running 21mm VTS bars in the rear but that's only a slight difference. I think it's fantastic, perfect compromise for the road. I use it daily, doing ~ 250 miles a week.

Speak to miles on here, although I think you might have to contact him via his website - http://www.pugracing.com/

He'll be able to sort you out at a great price.

I found it great for the road. But found it too soft for track use.

Is that on a stripped or 'full fat' car?

Inbetween really as it had buckets with no rear seats but still has carpet and door trims.

Would you say the shockers are up to the track work with uprated springs maybe? I remember running 300lb front springs(custom height) on bilstein dampers on my 309 and they felt fine.
