What drop did you end up going for? Also what are your sizes alloys, be nice to see a picture, to compare to my new setup Image...

I’m running 20” rotors & the tyre tread is just inside the wheel arch, I’ll get some pictures up when weather has a break 👍🏻

Any update on the KONI shocks? Be interested to hear your thoughts on the performance and ride quality?

So.. in summary very pleased with the setup.. on 1st view I didn’t like the look of how low it was, but over the week of having it done it’s grown on me... Imageride is pretty close to OEM, plus with the added delete kit, I can still hit the dynamic mode & get the growl & tighter steering. Which ha always been a pleasure to use...

Good value for money compared to having to maintain the DRC... no more sleepless nights for me now....

Great, thanks for the update. Definitely on the list to look into if/when the DRC goes!

I'm also interested in how the ride feels. When you say like OEM is that mote like the comfort mode or dynamic?

Also were you given a choice about ride height or is it a single option which is a bit lower than standard?

For me slight stiffer than standard but not as harsh as dynamic. So for me a good in-between...

I did ask about standard height springs, but was told H&R do 2 drops 15-20mm & a 30mm drop.. I went for the 15mm drop Image not sure if any other companies do a oem spring, or would it have to be a main dealer purchase at stupid prices?!??

Thanks! Guess keeping existing springs is an option however presume good idea to replace everything at the same time.

Would they fit on aftermarket shocks?!??

Would you want old springs on new shocks?

, I thought it be best to have a completely new setup, so I don’t have to worry about failing parts ever again etc...

They’re 20” rotors, might be lifting the rear up a little though when I put the milltek on
