i know loads of you on here have lowered you cars
and i swore blind i would not lower this car
but it is going to happen soon
i know the eibach springs are the best
but i really want to upgrade the front and rear dampers
at the same time say for the bilsten b6 or something like that

so has any one ungraded there dampers and if so what did you go for.

Picked up a set of pro springs quite a while back for a billy bargain from eBay.

Not got round to fitting them yet but wondered if anyone else had and what their opinion was. I find the J has quite a bit of body roll (maybe I should slow down!) so wondered what difference this would make.

Cheers
