Hi Stu (silverbarchetta) I'm based in Bolton. I'm sorrry Ialways get things wrong on here always in a rush. Of course I meant I have Eibach springs and standard shocks which the previous owner fitted. The ride is harsh but as I said elsewhere the choice of tyres makes a huge difference. I have Kumhos on the front now and the crashing and bashing has all but gone. The ride height is about 30mm lower than standard. The car corners quite flat until you take it to a track then its all over the place!
I have never driven a standard B to make a comparison, so if anyone wants to come over for a coffee and a mince pie to compare notes?!
