Gavin Waddell 18 Posted January 21, 2007 was wondering what suspension people would by witha budget upto 500 quid. ive been reading posts on what people would recomend and i can see that it would be between billies and gaz. what i would really want to know is peoples experisnces. the car is gooing to be used for slaloms and track days and fast road(li)ve in switzerland its caged, runing BM mouts, grp n engine mounts, and powerflex bushes alround. I had spax onit before and it was really crashy. any ideas or suggestions would be good. gavin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faz85 0 Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Another vote for Bilstein here...And if you feel like extending your budget slightly, you could go for the SBC Phase 1 setup, which is very good and although quite firm, it is not crashy. IIRC the phase 1 setup is about £600 new, but you can get some cash back if you have any standard shocks to exchange with them.

Gavin Waddell 18 Posted January 22, 2007 sprintlines with eibach springs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted January 23, 2007 Sprintlines or now known as B8's with Eibach's, Another option is the Group 'N' (Known as challenge ones for some reason) front and back for around the same price Good base set up which most people like, Get some decent bushes in the wishbone's which hopefully if tested fine BBM will start supply them as I've replaced loads of people's Powerflex bushes that have failed, Pretty soft too compared to the std one's.

What Miles said, Sprintline, group N or Challenge spec set up. I've got group n tarmac rear dampers & will be getting some front Bilsteins shortly for my track car. You can get them from Miles as well. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
