Rears are Group A According to the friend who works at bilstein, they are solid!
and the fronts are Group N mate
Ross told me how he bent some B8s so thought i would keep the group N's i have. but then got offered these in a swap for some bits so putting the new ones on my car

Nice, yeah I have those rear dampers and like them. Way to stiff for standard torsion bars so I'm assuming you'll be changing the bars too?

Group A be well too stiff for road mate.
Might be worth you double checking these things before going and buying stuff that's not suited for your application

naaaahhh, Group A on the road ftw.
MTFU 
you're aiming for 300 bhp, you don't want near standard suspension for that much power in a lightweight french tin can.
I really would be saving for the Satchell front end, get the mounts now as its "only" £400, means you can actually use the power without worrying about engine mounts and driveshafts.

Satchell front end will come soon but my main issue right now is getting the car running.
As for the rears they were a swap so i was getting them anyway either way i can use or sell.
Ill use them if they are too much ill just sell them.
Not a problem
