    That "might" be the problem, they look thicker than the Gaz ones.

      Probably. Sometime I think I should have just gone for lower drop hats and shortened shocks up front...

        I'm going KW with drop hats.

          I figured I'm going all out I might as well do coils...

          I still have the touring Eibach springs though, I'll need to get another one just so I can use them :P

            I looked at either the Gaz or the BC coilovers, but decided against them, and for the cost of those, I can have the KW's and Billie B8's and Eibachs, so the best of both worlds really.

              B8's and eibachs come close to coilovers though and no adjustability with them, I'm hopping I can achieve a nice ride height and damping similar to b8's with this. If I sell the springs I can make a few quid back but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

                You could also look at getting some custom made Faulkner springs, normally about £35 each

                  Denis suggested them as well. I'll see what I'm like once she's dropped on all 4 wheels again, I'll get some bags of coal or cement to simulate the weight of the m52 :P

                      I might rethink that one...

                      170kgish for a m52?

                          Maybe some other day :D

                          I have the front panel removable and absolutely no intention to carefully lift the engine out of the blue touring...
