REPORT: Suspension upgrades with Bilstein + GMG
Been emailed a few starting pics, so I thought I'd post them.
Just as a reminder this is what I am having done:
This is what I am getting:
* Bilstein Damptronics (ClubSport version)
* GMG WC Sport sway bar set
* GMG WC rear toe steer kit
* GMG Dog bone kit
Then...
* Ride height check and adjust
* Corner weight check and adjust
* Geometry check and adjust
* Test drive
Going to start with a 20mm drop and middle stiffness settings on the front and rear sways.
Also, as my rear Bridestones were nearly worn down (7500 miles) I thought I'd take the opportunity and get myself some Michelin PS2's also.
More report to come hopefully each day this week. I will probably be collecting Thu or Fri.

Interesting, my ride heights had obviously dropped since factory:
Front: 134 (factory is 138)
Rear: 140 (factory is 153)
I am aiming for GT2 heights so:
Front: 118 (drop of 16mm)
Rear: 133 (drop of 7mm)
So perhaps those speed bumps I fly over now won't be too big of a change...
