SRowells Black Rallye

[Eeyore]

Ive been annoyed recently at the suspension bottoming out. Driving isnt fun when youre constantly looking for pot holes and then smashing the car as a result. I dont really know how the car is meant to feel and I dont want to have to worry about setting them up etc. So ive gone for a tried and tested setup of bilstein B8s with eibach springs. I hope that it will sit right otherwise ill have to upgrade to the sportline springs wihch are meant to be lower. I hope that this will be fit and forget!


Bilstein B8 (FL) - 22-247308 - £225.97
Bilstein B8 (FR) - 22-247315 - ^^^^^
Eibach Pro Kit   - E7011-120 - £88.28

Front Setup Total - £314.25 (not bad i feel)

Ive had my sparco harnesses for over three years now and although they are in fantastic condition they arent suitable for mounting to he harness bar on my cage. Ive simply put it over the bar and to the floor which is less spine crushing but not ideal especially if things are moving about in the back.

I was looking for some fat 3" harnesses with a push style clip as im fairly sure thats needed for MOT however I couldnt find any push fitting harnesses that would fit a roll bar. I found a 3" 4 point omp set but knew that puglove had got 6 points and dropped the lower straps. I looked up the 6 points and they were £10 cheaper so bought those and will remove the lower straps. 

OMP 802 3" Saloon Harness in black - DA802F - £143.94 (x2)

Mostly bought through demon tweeks on ebay. Even with the EBAY7 discount code its still cheaper on ebay as postage is free. Now to find the right set of eibach rears as discussed here...

Should keep me occupied over christmas at least and should make the car a whole lot more reliable and useable!
