Default The new suspension is in. :-)
B&G Springs, Bilstein Sports, 15mm ECS spacers. The ride is a good bit more firm but not as firm as I expected. It really rides quite nicely! The ride height is PROPER, not too low, not too high, just right. Handling is massively improved, body roll minimized, and the car is so much more fun to drive!

having ALL of your belly pan hardware in place. It really helps; keeps that bottom end high, tight, firm and perky...

Default Looks like a S8!
And I totally agree about the belly pan hardware!

Default That looks *stellar* Dave - kudos! I always say "fisting" is too much, much prefer...
...a proper "tight-two-fingers", I do.

She went from a 4-finger-hoor to a 2-finger-schoolgirl with the turn of a few wrenches.

Enjoy!



ps. mmmm... Grolsh minikeg...
