Nick330ci Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Hi, I am in need of a new front strut. I have got Eibach springs to go on the car as I also know that one of my springs has cracked. The reason I went for Eibachs over anything else is that I have heard they lower the car slightly but keep near enough all the comfort of the standard sport springs which is what I want. I have already had the stiff low suspension on other cars and just want a good handling, comfy car. I am looking at 2 new front shocks to put on as one is knackered. The Bilsteins come out almost £50 cheaper than the M Tech shocks. My question is are they a lot stiffer than standard? or are they almost the same so I wont be able to tell much difference? Bilsteins: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35b6c8a43a M Tech: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item45fdc0f664 If I go for Bilsteins I will of course get the rears to match asap. cheers Nick Edited May 26, 2012 by Nick330ci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Do some research on this. There is an uprated shock/spring arrangement that is rated a lot more highly than the std m sport stuff. BUt I Cant remember it and cant find the link! The M SPort suspension is not known for its comfort, so you must have had some harsh rides in the past!

Nick330ci Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) I have had a look around but will do some more research. I had a corsa c with lowering springs which bounced around everywhere and the gf has a mini cooper s which is rock hard. Does anyone else know where this thread is?

Matt_S Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 What springs are they? Pro or Sportline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick330ci Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Cheers for the info Matt, I have taken a look at the Koni review, they look good but just too expensive for me. I have the Eibach Pro-Kit, bought these ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320815112815?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 anyone else used the bilstein's?
