Here's a friendly reminder, when you go and have the suspensions changed, please prepare some extra budget for consumable parts as well (anti roll bar, top strut mounts, rubbers etc).
Bilstein with H&R springs is a tried and tested combination, so there's not much to add there unless anyone has any questions.
All in all it just works, and it's better at filtering bumps, holes, rocks or any feedback, really.
But again, never underestimate the importance of those small peripherals when it comes to the good functionality of your suspensions.
Installation time: Anywhere between half to a whole day
Installation photos:


Healthy meal, just what a growing car needs.


The kit laid out for clear viewing, something I like to do before getting to it.






Clear sign of ageing.








Rear wheel.






You can let me know what style of driving you have, and I can recommend you a suitable upgrade.
