Haha roll on the bigger turbo?

On other subject lets talk suspension people...
Been thinking about changing the GP's from what's on it at the min.

Been looking around at a few kits, what's everyone else running on there's? An what's your opinions on them?



I've always been interested to go down the Blistein shock route however there isn't much covered. H&R cup kit is suppost to be good also.


let us know if you change Ill have the current eibach suspension springs you have :)

I was umming and arring about suspension recently - specifically between Koni Sport (yellow) dampers and Bilstein B8s (I think it was the 8).

I went for the Koni Sports in the end as they have adjustable damping and are supposed to be very good. I got them for all 4 corners for just under £500. Also bought some H&R springs to go with them.

I've not fitted them yet but will be doing in the next month or so I'm hoping so I'll let you know what I think to them :D
