getting the Bilstein stuff i think maybe go for a 50mm drop rear as there is alot of nois bang crash think its too low and its dropped even more with the springs ageing dont think there is much travel at the rear anymore any other advice on this prob?

Ah right fair enough, in the dry i love mine it sticks like glue in the wet however its a different matter  i think if you want a good handling car i would say eibach springs for defo but i dunno much about shocks.
