It is very nice driving. I was driving on the autobahn with over 240 km/h and it handles perfect. I´m very happy with this suspension. But i did not only changed the shocks and springs, i changed: -lower control arms with relocation brackets -strut tower brace -panhard rod -front upper control arms -front lower control arms What i have to do next, is to change the sway bar at the front. Thanks for asking. You can see it in Bitburg end of april

The springs are more performance oriented than lowering. They drop the car about an inch. The shocks and springs should be the biggest gain handling since the shocks( the fronts0 were revalved to match springs. Next 2 big handling gains would be a serious alingment and sticky tires at all four corners. |

Yesterday i was driving on the autobahn A43, that is a very bad autobahn. In front of me was a porsche boxster s and it was driving over 250 km/h. It was no problem to follow him with this speed. It is a pleasure to drive with this suspension also on bad streets.
Also the BFG G-FORCE tires i bought from Val are very good on the street. I love them. |
