Nice! Did you go with H&R sport or race?

I have H&R sport and I think it's perfect for a daily drive as well as giving it a good drop.

Agreed Aus.... Mine r sport as well. Running them on stock shocks. They seem to be ok but they are not matched to operate with the lowered springs, so I really need some shorter shocks (Koni sports yellows??) Meanwhile ill stick with them until they give out (which I assume wont be long) Drop was just right, wouldn't want to go lower. Compared to the stock springs, the car feels more planted, less floaty and seems to roll less in when taking corners. That said it doesn't soak up the bumps like before.. nearly soiled myself when I hit a pothole at speed....

LOL! I'm running mine on stock M-tech shocks, don't know how they compare to the stock ones. ( Try Bilstein, I heard they are a good match )

Yeah I noticed that it doesn't soak up the bumps too well either, traveling around 80kms and went over a slight bump and I could hear my rear rub slightly. I avoid all speed bumps now, even taking the long way just to avoid any lol. The worst thing is, I only ever scrape when I leave my own driveway

Thinking of getting some wood planks just for that reason.

What's next? Go get an Eisenmann exhaust !!
