Mark Bilstein+H&R

Definetely not my set up. Sway bars are too stiff to stop the rims from rubbing arches... and even suspension and springs may not be matched to HK roads the best.

Have just ordered new spacers which means I can soften sway bars so the car wont bounce so much and eventually will look to replace suspension set up...

Not sure... i think FSD with eibach is still too high. May look at coilover options but not as expensive as say bilstein pss9/10.

There are some options that guys on the forum have used like KW or Ksport...
