My Bilsteins arrived on Monday and I fitted them tonight, I have used the 40mm Spax lowering springs as were fitted before change over and I have changed all four shocks, the car seems to sit maybe 10 to 15mm higher at the rear and the front is about 25mm higher but my front Spax adjustables have been leaking and were basically shot so that was maybe why it was sitting lower at the front before the change over, the rears were fine but set to a hard setting I should have tried adjusting them softer at some point but have change them over now

Driving wise the roads here are wet tonight so couldn't give it plenty of beans but the car seems firm and composed just not teeth rattling hard and my rear 1/4 windows did not chatter going over uneven roads or speed bumps, so far all seems much better and more civilised

Ride height after test run tonight

Ffs I'm such a slacker. Gone backwards got new icv and split hoses taking old one off. Got new hose and cut to relocate icv but cut it wrong grrrrrr and had a paddy. Shocks still sitting in the boxes and have not even got round to modifying the BMW top mounts. Someone shoot me laughing
