   Been looking at the above on Kam Racing website and it's £329.99 for the lot, does anyone have this and recommend it?
   
   I'm lowered 50mm all round on Eibach Sportline springs and I'd like to upgrade the suspension the best I can.
   
   Thanks,

   Eibach are really good, if you've allready got the springs upgrade the dampers at the the back and you want go wrong

   Have a look at the Koni dampers too, a lot of people with eibach springs go for the koni dampers apparently they work well together

   Its a really well made piece of kit...
   
   Personally i'd go for a more track orientated track set up with Bilstein shocks but for the road I'd seriously consider using these

    The 106 sprintline kit is cheaper as it doesn't have the Group N shocks on the front... £290 + delivery a bargin.

    just a little bit of info on the pro-damper kit.
    
    They are designed for road cars to give an improved ride without the expense of ride comfort. They are a bit stiffer than OEM dampers but not a lot, but with the far better internals they offer a stunningly smooth ride even though the car is lowered 30mm.
    
    Under harder use - say if you want to do a few trackdays etc then you really will want a stiffer setup and thats when the bilstein setups we offer start to show an advantage.

    I agree with Kam..
    
    On the road my suspension is pretty uncomfortable..very hard but i like that..
    
    If your not going on trackdays then get another setup, but on a trackday if you run billies you will be shocked as to what you can keep up with not only through the bends but on the straights as you have carried so much more speed through the corner..If you can drive of course.
