Kin hell! I bet thats bouncy on standard shocks!

I'd reccomend some Bilstein suspension with that engine. Look for Dave a from V-Sport he can sort you something out

Well put the springs and dampers on yesterday and now dampers are ok but its low!!!

gonna take the gis dampers which rae now off with uprated spings 25mm ish and do some swapping about....


ie 25mm springs and stiffer dampers hopefully it should be right set up then instead of being either too soft or too low.....

Looks great but your going to need some stiff front springs to combat the weight, 300lbs + easily I would of thought. Also would look nicer if a bit lower at the back. Other wise its spot on
