Thumbs up

Hi
I am think of upgrading the M sport suspension ( no active roll control) to Bilstein B16 Electronic Ride Control Adjustable Coil-Over Suspension Kit.

I am wondering what difference would it be in term of its comfort and sport mode comparing to stock M-sport suspension.

If you have it, where did u put the electronic control button ? picture post welcome.


Cheers !!

I think there's a guy in Singapore that did this mod, but I don't think he's on this forum. Keep us posted on your development.
