Which springs to go with B8's?

[Dan-Subtle]

as above,

Looking to use the car on track and wondering whats the best option for springs to go for?

Got bilstein b8 front and rear dampers, also got Spoox rear wishbone mounts and black shore wishbone bushes.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

Ive got faulkner 155lb springs for my b8's dan. Together with my solid mounts and bushes them seem to work well. A lot of people they're a good match for b8's

if you got budget I remember AlexR used faulkners to good effect

What sort of drop you after? How much track use?

[Dan-Subtle]

car is used once a week for roughly a couple of hours normal road use.

hoping to do as many track days as possible at lydden, brands, etc.

also looking at getting some group n top mounts, are these worthwhile?

after a reasonable sized drop but looking to get the best out of the suspension so open to advuce.

I found the 155lb/ 250mm Faulkners were a good compromise for road driving and the occasional track day. Little bit on the soft side for a frequent track go-er though. If you're keeping the standard torsion bars, I'd probably give 165lb-170lb and 240mm-245mm free length springs a try.

I would just replace the top mounts with OE items tbh - I'm not convinced the 'Group N' top mounts are any different.

Thanks liam, much appreciated.

Will be sticking with stadard bars for the minute.

How much do the 155lb/250mm faulkners drop?

How much do the 155lb/250mm faulkners drop?

~35mm I'd say - there's a few pics in my thread (http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=410850).

Recently switched to 180lb/ 240mm and I'd say the car is a few mm lower than before. Balance wise, it doesn't feel too bad. The rear end still feels a bit floaty at times but some 21mm bars should sort that out.

group N top mounts are a stiffer rubber.
