New suspension is taking shape nicely. I didn't want to modify the car in any way but out of necessity I've have done slightly in the interests of better quality parts.
I couldn't find any original genuine dampers and most aftermarket OE replacements now seem to be mostly cheap unknown makes. So I've opted for Bilstein B4's which are 20% increase on standard damping rates & importantly other than the Bilstein sticker appear 'stock'
Same scenario with the springs, after recommendation I've gone for the Eibach Pro springs which have a subtle 20-30mm drop allegedly. And as before they're black to appear 'stock' other than an Eibach stamp on the rear of one of the coils.
Also managed to get a complete Genuine new old stock top mount assembly & bearing. I just need some new dust covers and bump stops now then they'll be complete to mate up with the hub section
