it rides bang on now doesn't feel like your on a north sea ferry when hard cornering...

Dazza,
If I had nice smooth roads with nice Tarmac, I'd agree with you

Unfortunately where I live the roads are really Cr4p, potholes bumps and Patches are the norm

with Eibachs on to many occasions hit the the stops with a bang

I then fitted Prodrive springs 2 years on and no problems, seem to get be a nice balance for both comfort and Handling

for the roads they are still crap

I'm probably going to buy the springs and go to Powerstation to get them fitted - at least I'll have piece of mind that a good job has been done and the settings will be to their spec (Type 25 Spec)... and I know that uses AST suspension, but the toe in / camber etc. will be virtually the same.

Its going to cost less too. The question is..... does it void the warranty if its not fitted by the dealers?!?!?

Whilst we are on the subject of springs, has anybody had to take up
Powerstations offer of "money back if you're not satisfied with the ride quality" on their Type25 AST coilover suspension. Hope to have them fitted soon but I am still anxious about the ride quality i.e. way too stiff for road use? Anyone driven or own a Type25 and could comment.

From what have been informed they aren't so stiff, BUT, ask them to sell you similar setup with Whiteline Group4s, although they are AST made they have some critical differences (boots, top hats etc).
