Yes we did.
On one Mini to raise it up a bit:eek: the ugly Zeemax one
and the other our Cabrio to drop it a tad.
Why.??

Because they are generally very very good, but also very expensive. Just wondered if anyone had used them, and what they thought of them.
Bilsteins are not getting very good press at the moment with the RB320 Scooby owners:frown: The rears are failing, at low mileage, on a regular basis it would seem:eek:
I remember, back in the day, they were the weapon of choice for Mk1 + 2 Escorts:cool:
If i owned a RB320, i'd be p*ssed off. Not because of that, but because they spent a fortune, on what is essentially a UK turbo!
But that's interesting, i've never really heard of anyone having any problems with Bilsteins, which is why i was swaying towards them more than my PTS dampers for the 106.
Stoney, I had a Megane Coupe and got it lowered - it wasn't that good. It was very twitchy at the back. I actually got it lowered on shocks but they couldnt seem to find the matching fronts so I was driving about half lowered for a while. I ended getting it just lowered on springs and the ride was much much nicer than it was with the shocks on the back.
The lowered Astra I had previously was much better.
