You going for the 4.22 diff then  :y
Should get you of the line a bit quicker  :)

I can see me having to pop over that way to see the finished artical  ;D

Has anybody on here done the bilstein / eibach setup on a estate?
If so, whats it like ?

Yeap me ;D on Mrs' facelift 3.0 elite estate.. fitted steinmetz springs (which eibach make to steinmetz spec) and Bilstein Shocks..... Handle brilliant Mrs went the long way around to anywhere so she could "put her foot down around corners" ;D
The only down side which did my head in so I sold it  ::) was when weight was put in the boot it would drag is arse on every speed hump which we have a lot of around here >:(

Bugger  :(

With the amount of weight I carry in the back and pulling the van, i'll end up grinding the towbar away  :'( :'(

Think i'll have to scrap the van, dig the tent out and buy a lighter toolbox  ;D ;D

Then again, i'll have to look into this because my rear springs are knack*rd (it sits tail low with no extra weight in the back) so it maybe down 20mm or so to start with  :-\

How long before you get Sidious finished ?

Quiet a while yet mate, as long as He's done for Spring I will be happy :y

If we have another elite estate, I would actually fit the original springs and shocks to the car being honest. Any weight in or on the back it will level itself, plus no crashing over the speed humps...
Don't forget New Springs & Shocks will feel totally different too warnout ones ;)

See what you mean.

The shocks are only 18 month old ( KYB at the front / Uprated Boge at the back )
Does anybody do a stiffer spring without too much of a drop ?
If I chuck it into a corner hard, the back end twists that much it nearly kicks into oversteer  :(

Great fun if its just me but when i've got the family and a 6 1/2 stone german shepperd in there, they get upset  ::) ;D ;D
