    Here are a few photos of the Bilstein Sprint Gas Shocks and H&R RS2 springs that I fitted this summer, well ahem, cough, ****** summer, to my beloved RS2.

                  Definitelly looks much better Fraser,good choise.
                  Looking at the photos makes me think that my setup is now slightly lower than your original..Maybe the shocks/springs have begun to sit a bit lower...i donw know.

                  How do you think the ride is now that you have had them for a while?Have you gotten used to them or are they still harsh?

                      Call justin from Balance Motorsport, he was fantastic. They are inserts, and they came with stickers to go on the Struts, like what I did here.

                          I love the shocks, I am desperate for bushes. I have a full set of Polys, but i am considering OEM's. i want it smooth as a babys bum!

                            i went with OEM bushes in the end,cause to be honest,they lasted for 10 years and they are quite good!
