Before & after pics of Bilstein HD/Euro M030 & Lowering Collars
Here are some before and after pics of my suspension install on Friday. Our friend Viper Bob installed Bilstein HD, Euro M030 and Herge lowering collars. The ride height (fender to ground) is 26" front and 25.75" rear. Probably could go down a tad bit in the front but it looks like the ride height the P-car engineers intended it to be The crew at Devek did a great job on the install & alignment and managed to fit other maintenance work in the mix also. As for the handling, its a big improvement over the stock suspension. I only had 14K miles on my stock shocks and struts and they were already shot The ride is very complacent, not harsh or jarring. Definitely recommended for a street use car. I would recommend larger diameter sway bars as the car leans waaay too much now that it's lowered. Sways will be next on my long list of to do's.

Great! Just when I had myself convinced that the SUV height on my '95 was tolerable, you had to post those darn pics of your slick car....... Now I gotta save my rupees for a real suspension.
Sheesh..... I gotta stop coming here
Seriously, your car looks awesome.

Nice. I measured 25.5/25.0 on my Bilstein HD/Euro M030 setup from Gert (no lowering collars due to the extra threads.) Definitely get the sways! Makes a huge difference.

Hi Don,
Looking good! Don't forget your "Front protection Bar" from Gert. It's a doddle to fit and you'll save scraping the bottem of the car.
Cheers,
David

William,
Very nice car. I spent a couple weeks in Edinburra 2 years ago. Played a bit of golf on the Old Course. You have some great driving roads over there.

William:
If you search RL, some good economical alternatives are the OEM M030 Sway bars or the ROW Turbo sway bars. If you want to be aggressive, the Carrera RS sways are a good bet but will cost you a pretty penny. Others have run TRG and H&R's. I think I'll get with the M030 or ROW Turbo sways since I wont be paying a visit to the track that often.
