I had my set rebuilt also, fitted them to my DT, which has done nothing but sit in my workshop, and not covered a single mile, and one is leaking again already....Personally havent drove on a set that feel that great either, but willing to be prooven wrong.

Hmmm. I like the way they feel for my car...but with all the weight out...it could feel very different for someone else...
I also noticed after it sitting for a while a little misting on one rear damper...was a bit worried...cleaned it off...driven it...and since, never come back again. Odd that.

Not advertised it properly tbh.
Wana tidy up a couple areas first, rear beam strip ans service, rear brakes, wiring, paint boot/rear floor and tidy engine bay a little.
Then advertise properly

Thankyou...
Although as a comparison...I know what I prefer.
Note new rims and rubber. Pro race2 and federal 595 rsr
Also note skewiff bumper...close inspection sees that someone scuffed that corner in a carpark. Gits.

Hmmm. Think maybe the shorter 300lb springs are going coil bound. Bit firm for my liking too. Need to clean up the 275s I think.
But ruddy ek.... She goes so flipping well and never breaks a sweat doing it!! Guna miss.it

6" I think. 275 ones are 7" iirc cant remember exactly. 300lb ones are shorter for sure. By an inch.

Can't quite get the damping right now. Rather bumpy journey on the M40 yesterday. Going to put 275lb springs in again and reset things.
In other news:
She sounds hellish in Westfield Carpark...oh my.
Also, obviously was cold yesterday eve, but recorded my lowest intake temps. 3.5degrees cruising on motorway. 2.7 degrees at 30-50mph.
...and 595Rsr tyres don't like the cold/increase in engine performance due to cold. Lite them up rather easily on overtakes

I still keep quiet exhausts on all my builds. i feel like i should branch out at some point and maybe get something a little louder. its gonna be a shame when you get rid of this. yours and dum dums where the ones that got me into the 2.1 and a major contributing factor for me bening into 306s amoung other builds on here.
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.
