;D ;D ;D Very happy with it, ride is not to hard for me. But love the way it can take a roundabout on with on probs ;) ;).It,s a lot flater around the bends.
Had a run last week on a country road near me and that was a LOT of fun. Best part is when you come up to a Saxo and can take the corners with more speed.
Still have to had to hand it over to our tame racing driver, The Master so he can show me a few tricks :D :D. Just have to look at getting the rear donut bushes done at some point and that shoud be it :y . SP-3.2
jr seems happy with the ride too :)

It's ok Darth :)
For shocks, I have seen that but there's no prices?
http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=107197
http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=105694
In facts, I'm after a complete suspension set (shocks and springs for front and rear). Is the B8 a good choice for the Omega? Where can I buy it for a good price?

Yes, Like a Go-Kart when Steinmetz springs are used with them ;)
Also lowers the car too but about 30mm :y
-
I have found now the prices for the B4 with your link, cool :)

http://www.balancemotorsport.co.uk/products.asp?category=Suspension&subcategory=Shock%20Absorbers%20(Dampers)&product=Bilstein%20Monotube%20High%20Pressure%20Dampers
I wonder what ride difference is there between the B4 and B8 ^^
-
I don't honestly know mate, as I have had B4's :y
-
OOoooook, thank you for all your help, I will see maybe the next month for a new set, don't have money now because I have bought a complete Irmscher body and rims kit ;D
-
sorry to pick up this old-ish thread but do either of you have a pic on the Steinmetz springs? Also, should the B8 be the preferred choice on lowering with the shortened stroke piston - shocking price though!!
-

Cheers,
Iain

B6 or B8 Sprint?
B6 - Ideal upgrade for standard dampers, all the benefits of B8, designed to work with standard ride height and up to 30mm lowering. Tell me more about B6 dampers... http://www.bilstein.de/en/products/high-performance-shock-absorbers/bilstein-b6.html
Off road B6 http://www.bilstein.de/en/products/high-performance-shock-absorbers/bilstein-b6-offroad.html
B8 - Specially designed for lowered sport vehicles. It’s a must when sports springs are usedwith lowering of 30-40 mm or more. Shortened unit gives less droop and more predictable control of over/undesteer and sharper responses. (In some cases only B6 will be listed.) Tell me more about B8 dampers...
