Wish they didn't suit the 180 so much or they'd be gone lol.

I think I'm going to make my ride quality worse with Eibach sportline 50mm & torsion lowering to suit though lol

Thought about B8's but I don't plan on tracking this particular number nor want to spend s**t loads on suspension. The last one on pro kit 30mm springs saw a vast improvement so lower must give better results lol.

I think i'm just going to keep the standard dampers on mine and put some springs on as I really can't afford expensive suspension for now lol. Are the eibach 50mm springs too low for them compared to the 30mm?

Que?

I'm going to run the 50mm Sportlines on stock dampers unless I can't?

I'm going to do it soon, when I get the penny's should be ok?

I had the Pro kit @ 30mm, unsure what the extra 20mm could do without uprated dampers, I'd bet it would be ok though...

You really shouldn't have 50mm springs on standard dampers it's common sense. Why would you not uprate the shocks as well? You can get decent shocks that will handle and last a long time for under 200 or even less if you are on a budget and it makes sense to change them at the same time as the springs seeing as you will need to remove the whole strut.
