Got to say Raj, that when I saw Mo's set up and had a good old look underneath, I was really impressed by the build quality, the stuffs superbly assembled though I've never been in a car thus equipped I can really appreciate what your saying, if I'd of not won the EiBach competition I'd of been half tempted as the standard set up as ivecdiscivered post fit is woeful at best IMO, I was looking as Mo knows at the 0% deal being offered and the suspension side of things was on my radar to be sorted by September, but luckily enough I don't have to bother now.

That was a good read Raj. Quite informative. I'd really like u to drive my car with the air ride to add it to yr comparison. I had the birds kit on my car when i bought it and thought it was very good but like u wanted a different ride height...just instead of higher i wanted to go lower.

Now with the airride i was prepared for a compromise in handling but was pleaseny surprised at how well it handles. Its defo better than oem or bcs. I think with your experiences you'd bebest to make tbe comparison. Will be in birmingham in a few weeks. May pop by if you're around and we could see what u think. Not looking for praise but just genuinely want to know how air compares to the daddy ohlins

They are excellently put together. Agreed you have been lucky with the win and ended up with a nice bit of kit.

Before she goes under the knife tomorrow I figured it would be a good time to fit a little something.

It's all about the little touches for me.

Looks a little plain:


A little bigger and nicely worded:


And finally in place:

I'm just waiting on a reply from him. It would be just the standard Ohlins setup. It won't be custom with stiffer springs like HPA offer. Tbh I actually don't see the point of stiffer springs as currently on different settings the springs are still well balanced to the dampers. Just my opinion.
