Nice!

I got experience with oem shocks and H&R 35-40mm springs. I think these are too soft. Now im looking for a apex coilover set.

Today i've installed all springs. They are soft indeed, very OEM in terms of confort (wich is nice) but tottally different on tight corners. Want to post photos but it was a tuff day. Anyway wait for them, they will come. Cheers

Not bouncy but not hard enough i guess... It lacks the front and rear swaybars but the improvement is huge... Will post photos later. Cheers

They are HnR lowering Springs 35-40mm i guess. you can see them in previous pages. They were painted black for OEM look. Nice driving, very confortable and definitly handling is a lot better. Limits of the car are lot higher and for the price (100eur) im very happy (i've bought them used already) Cheers
