nah i used to prefer it to the jelly-ride it used to be.
i prefer to feel every stone & condition of the road instead of have it all get lost in the suspension...

lowering a car by anymore than 40mm ruins the ride quality........even 40mm can ruin it....

Got cheapy cheap bilstein kit.
Bunch of arse
Crashy and bouncy, not good when we all dont drive on a flat bumpless race track everyday.
I want the suspension like in bmws. Its hard, yet supple over bumps

my old 106 had a 500 quid bilstein setup, It was amazing on the right roads, rock solid... going over rails was a nightmare, but it handled absolutely amazing, better than the 106 I have now... not practical though it literally was solid and driving through town was a joke

if it bounces after a bump u might want to check your shocks
