   Hi, i'd like to get my VTS lowered by 35mm on the standard 15" alloys. What would you guys say is the best set-up/brands in terms of comfort? I put Spax adjustables on my old vtr and you could have them nice and soft but it was no good over 60mph (felt really spongey) so i set them in the middle of the adjusters but could still be pretty bumpy. Any recommendations would be good cheers

   They are more pricey than your average dampers but if you want comfort then they are very good with a drop. Look at the B6 and B8 setups from Bilstein.
   
   I even think there is one thats less uprated than those but i dont think Kam sells them, i cant remember the name but i think they are on europerformance's website. They are something like 15% uprated.
   
   If you went springs only then buy the eibach pro kit if you want lowered comfort but tbh the sportlines arent too hard but not too soft if you see what i mean. The B8 kit is the one to get if your serious about comfort, lowering and a good stiff setup when you need it IMO.

   ok cheers mate, the bilstein are more expensive but i don't mind paying it if they are worth the extra. Just got to find someone to do the torsion bar next!
