Hi Darren.

You really can't go wrong on a 99 with a set of Eibachs and some proper geometry set up.

Practically a VFM cure all for all late cars with good dampers

Cheers

Question

whats VFM?

and the springs lower the car?
by how much?
doesnt the car bottom out more then?

use std dampers, or go for the full Prodrive setup?

my dampers are 30k miles old.. and car feels a bit loose now.

cheers

Talking

Bumpsteer Mod/4 wheel alignment (approx £100), Eibachs (£130), Anti-Lift kit (£120) and possibly uprated anti-roll bars as well (£can't remember ).

The boys at Powerstation do all of the above for very reasonable money....
