    Hi urS6Tom, did you fit Duffelcoats new Bilstene shocks and springs and not like the set up?
    I am asking for obvious reasons as any info regarding set ups all helpful. Cheers.

      How are you converting to coliovers? Are you making your own? If so I'd be interested in finding out what you need, where from and how much?

      I have a pair of good HP2 struts but they're on my parts car, I have no idea what they're worth but I would only be interested in selling if it's worthwhile, I would have to take them off, package them, send them and then of course the parts car would be immobile.....

      Let me know what you think?

      Cheers

        Hi - the Eibach/Bilstein kit is still all wrapped up in its box! I bought it when I thought I was going back to 1BA springs, but now have been given the idea (by philj on here) of running coilovers with an airbag to give additional ride height when needed. Sounds crazy but I think it just might work. Love the idea of flicking a switch to go over the speed bumps!

          Hi - I'm only looking for a pair that's readily available at a good price, otherwise I'll just take the struts off mine and put it on axle stands.

          Are you following Thuppu's thread on coilovers?

            That's ok, that's why I was saying I wasn't really interested in selling unless it was worthwhile....because it's a PITA for me not having them.

            No I'll do a search for the thread.

            Cheers
