Iv been looking into the bilstein suspension kit and on some site it says -60mm front & -40mm rear but on a couple of other sites it says -55mm front & -50mm rear.

is there 2 different options or not?i know the ones Dave A sold were the -55 front & -50 rear.

thanks for the pics rob.which site did you get yours from?

i have a budget suspension kit off ebay which is -50mm all round which is harsh and crashy yours seems to sit a tiny bit lower at the front and the back looks about the same as mine.It does look to sit nicely on you car mate.

Di you have any problems when fitting it?

sorry for the car pic qualitys but it was taken on my phone last year.Heres how mine sits at the moment.

i have the b10 kit but wanted the back lower so now have front bilstein kit and 90mm rear with gaz shocks. The front looks 60mm to be honest on the kits. Thinking about raising back up to 70mm on the rear as i have trouble taking passengers! I have the b10 rear shocks for sale if anyones interested (used for a few miles whilst deciding on rear drop)
